Ilustration Supposing Books Light on Lucrezia (Lucrezia Borgia #2)
Although I thoroughly enjoy historical fiction, I was a little surprised there was not more history put into this story. I felt it was more character analysis and I couldn’t get the feeling of the time as much as I have in her other works. I still enjoyed it, though.

I found this to be a fascinating read even though the characters seemed a little one dimensional. This probably is indicative more of myh lack of knowledge of the historical period than of the book itself, so the book did a good job in terms of sparking my interest in reading more about the Borgias and their rule of Rome. Like many of Plaidy's novels, repetition of some passages intended to emphasize particular facets of characters' personalities or elements of the story actually detracts fromThe story drags on.
3.5. Enjoyable finish to the story.
Just read this book having read book one. Well written and researched the fascinating story of lucrezia continues. I love Jean Plaidys style she is easy to read and you get pulled into whatever she writes. Couldn't put it down.
I found this book to be fascinating as well as for some reason repelling. In some ways,I actually felt badly for Cesare for the love that he felt for Lucrezia,and the love that she felt for him. It was doomed for they are both brother and sister, but they could not be satisfied with anybody else especially Cesare. He was very controlling, possessive, angry, and ambitious. Apparently, his only redeeming quality, ironically, was the love for his sister. Their father was no better, and Alexander VI
Same author as Madonna of the Seven Hills - same opinion about her personification of the historic figures.
Lucrezia's realization of the colossal passion of the Borgias after the death of Alfonso d'Aragon (Duke of Bisceglie and Prince of Salerno), her second husband, and that she may have just exchanged the Borgias' gilded cage for another after she moved to Ferrara to marry Alfonso d'Este (Duke of Ferrara), her third husband.
