Really good book, I felt like focusing on the Medici was a great way to frame the Renaissance overall and it was fascinating how well connected the family was with so many figures of the age. Particularly interesting to read after [b:Powers and Thrones: A New History of the Middle Ages 57347786 Powers and Thrones A New History of the Middle Ages Dan Jones https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1629634899l/57347786.SX50.jpg 87092832], almost makes me wish I'd read them back to back and kept notes.As other reviews have mentioned, the author sometimes has some pretty judgmental statements about people, especially anyone who ended up lazy, overweight, or homosexual. They were often pretty surprising and felt like unnecessary editorializing.
