Not a bad story about paintings that are imbued with life and how that can be abused. There were a few tropes I saw as I read and I guessed a chunk of the twists before I got to them, was left with no real urge to read further.
Bianca is apprenticed to Annunzio di Lombardi and feels very lucky until suddenly everything seems to fall apart, her master is poisoned and the Duchess is behaving strangely. But Bianca now has a key to the magical passages in the city and things are about to get more complicated.
Not bad, could be better. ( )
