Acerca de esta escucha
When Artemisia Gentileschi arrives in Florence seeking a haven for her art, she faces instant opposition from the powerful Accademia, self-proclaimed guardians of the healing and necrotic magic that protect the city from plague and curses. As artists create their masterpieces, they add layer upon layer of magic drawn from their very life essence into the paint or marble, draining their power but producing works that will heal hundreds and inspire generations. The all-male Accademia jealously guards its power over art and architecture and has no place for an ambitious young woman arriving from Rome under a cloud of scandal.
Alone and fighting for every commission, Artemisia begins winning allies among luminaries such Galileo and Michelangelo the Younger, as well as the wealthy and powerful Cristina de’ Medici. But when the shadow of her infamous rape trial in Rome turns her thoughts to vengeance and an incendiary preacher turns his ire from Galileo to Florence's art world, Artemisia must choose between revenge and her dream of creating a legacy that will span the generations.

1496 It is the height of the Renaissance and its flowering of intellectual and artistic endeavour, but the city state of Florence is in the grip of fundamentalist preacher Friar Girolamo Savonarola. Its good people believe the Lord speaks through him, just as certainly as the Sun circles the Earth. For Leonarda Lunetta, eldest daughter of the learned Signore Vincenzio Fusili, religion is not as interesting as the books she shares with her beloved father. Reading is an escape from the ridicule flung her way, for Luna is not like other girls.

She can feel the echoes of the books’ previous owners—an emotional fingerprint only she can read.

It is 1502, and Rodrigo Borgia, a self-confessed womanizer and master of political corruption, is now on the papal throne as Alexander VI. His daughter Lucrezia, age 22 - already three times married and a pawn in her father's plans - is discovering her own power. And then there is his son Cesare Borgia, brilliant, ruthless, and increasingly unstable; it is his relationship with Machiavelli that gives the Florentine diplomat a master class in the dark arts of power and politics.

Historia
In the Raverran Empire, magic is scarce and those born with power are strictly controlled - taken as children and conscripted into the Falcon Army. Zaira has lived her life on the streets to avoid this fate, hiding her mage-mark and thieving to survive. But hers is a rare and dangerous magic, one that threatens the entire empire. Lady Amalia Cornaro was never meant to be a Falconer. Heiress and scholar, she was born into a treacherous world of political machinations. But fate has bound the heir and the mage. War looms on the horizon....

A lot of Blood Drakes and Griffins
Main character was very whiny and combative for my liking. Women need to use brains, not emotional fits to get ahead. Wasn’t expecting so much mythology to be tossed in. I’m an artist and I’m Italian and I struggled with her character and the narrator’s accent.

Artemisia deserved better
This was an interesting story with overly flat characters. In particular, the main character was lifeless; constantly buffeted by fate, adding very little to the story. Great writers in the speculative fiction space (Jamison, Roanhorse, etc.) are creating rich, interesting female characters that drive stories forward. This was an indictment of a time and system that needs to be indicted, but that should not come at the expense of creating female characters who are more than just a reflection of the system itself. Modern readers are ready for more.

Interesting and a fun take on history.
I loved the book. The lay out of the time line and the showing of how magic could have effected this world is interesting to listen. All the characters have a very strong development with small and large foreshadowing through the book. If you are interested in historical fiction at all I would recommend “A Portrait in Shadow”
