Blech. Abandoned at 20% read.

The main character was incredibly immature, flying into an angry feminist rage anytime a guy questioned her ability to do something (even though they were correct that she couldn't).

The book was completely unbelievable, as there were too many coincidences. The main character is the daughter of archaeologists, so she knows tons about history (how many kids pay this close of attention to the details of their parents' jobs?), speaks Italian fluently practically overnight (and not the modern language, but the version spoken hundreds of years ago), and just so happens to know how to fence.

The author kept describing guys as "hotties" and went on and on about this... I realize this book is written for teens, but I have no patience or time for "love stories" where teenagers mistake lust and infatuation with romantic love.

I was disappointed that this is a Christian book... the author is a Christian, and the book is from a Christian publisher, so I'm assuming the main character eventually sees the error of her ways and becomes a Christian in the end (she's not one in the first 20%)...? And I guess for many people, this is enough to justify the entire book. For me, it's not.

This book was pointless.
Everything was resolved at the end of the first book and then this book unresolved the same issues and reresolved them to end the book.
I would recommend skipping this one and reading Three Wishes as a stand-alone.

This book was ROUGH. Right from the beginning, the MC had no respect for a different culture from a different time. She went in with the 'they must bend to my ideas' type of attitude and it was extremely jarring. Does she not realize how dangerous that was at the time?
After that, she kissed a man who was already betrothed to another and dared to suggest that the man's betrothed was crazy for acting jealous. No. The poor girl did nothing to deserve what the MC and Marcello put her through.
A note on the narration: The narrator is super dramatic, making the MC's attitude seem even worse.… (mere)
