Explanation Conducive To 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.Particularize Of Books Light on Lucrezia (Lucrezia Borgia #2)

I still enjoyed it, though.Hmmm Well this book was actually pretty boring at times. I got confused with all the different characters and Plaidy seemed to repeat whole paragraphs here and there. Not one of Plaidy's best I don't think but this is only my 2nd. It seems as if she just wanted to quickly tell the rest of Lucrezia Borgia's life and there wasn't much effort or thought put into it. I did enjoy it at times because I think this time period in Italy is fascinating and the Borgia's are legendary. Plus the book seemed
Impressive. But, if you havent read the first book would be confused with some characters that are mentioned in the second book. From many journals were written that Lucrezia was an evil princess, but Plaidy has written differently. At least, I wont judge a person from one side story.
What I've learned from Madonna of the Seven Hills and Light on Lucrezia is that this girl was stained by the reputation of her infamous family. The same family who she loved so much was the same family who gave her the most grief. It took me a very long time to get into this book. I got bogged down with the repetition of events (I mean really do I need a full report every time she washes her hair?) and the on/off switch of her grief. Several pages devoted to detailing Lucrezia's grief...until a
It was fairly good until (view spoiler)[ the pope dies (hide spoiler)] then the rest of the book drags on with not much happening.

Two DNFs in a row! Apparently I'm on a roll. This book is so dull. It's all tell, there's no meat on the bones, and I find it hard to believe Lucrezia Borgia and Alfonso of Naples were such wet blankets.
