This book was mentioned on one of my pop culture podcasts, and historical fiction about a young da Vinci, a Medici and a Cardinal in Rome immediately felt like something for me! This is an era and location of history that I don't know much about, which meant that I had no real sense of where the larger political elements were going, which was pretty exciting. Of the three main stories, the one I was most invested in was da Vinci's, but the broader focus on the world he became the artist he would be in Florence really made that smaller element of the story land for me. One of those books that made me immediately want to read and watch one million more stories about this historical era.
