review 1: I finished reading this book last night, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. On one hand, there was enough intriguing information in this book that I had to do further research, which is a great quality for a book of historical fiction. On the other hand, reading this book was WORK. The characters in this book never really moved past the pages of a history book and were therefore not nearly as interesting as they could have been. And the pace of this novel was plodding. This author, who does write pretty well, could have used an excellent editor. Actual rating: 2.5 stars, but I round up.
review 2: Despite the toe-curling cover, this book is an overall decent piece of historical fiction. Its main character isn't a Mary Sue (shocking, I know), and the Fe... morerrarese setting is refreshing, as opposed to the abused Roman one. Yes, the final plot twist might not come as an OMG-worthy surprise, and yet when I was finished with this I actually thought I read something different than the my usual Borgia novel. Plus, it grew on me with time: doesn't happen too often. less
