Medici ~ Ascendancy (Masters of Florence, 1)

The Medici are often depicted as powerful figures, but their personal struggles add depth. I wonder what led to this emphasis on their familial tensions.

The balance between romance and power struggles made the story so immersive. It made me think about how personal relationships influenced political decisions.

The characters felt so richly drawn. I'm curious whether this was based on extensive research or creative interpretation to bring the era to life.
