jack_w16's review against another edition
2.0
Fine comprehensive history of the Borgias. I was hoping for more on the rich array of conspiracies, whether true or debunked, of this notorious family--at the least, some sidebars--but was met mostly with political and military minutia. I read just after Strathern's Medici book and definitely preferred the first, though together they provide a nice crossover.

Some of the details in here felt like something out of Showtime's show, but I still really enjoyed reading this.

Really interesting overview, and very well-written and researched. I feel prepared to read some historical fiction now.

no sé como el autor logró hacer que una familia tan interesante se sintiera tan aburrida

2019 Pop Sugar Reading challenge: a book published in 2019.
This book was very interesting and informative and I really found myself being drawn into the Borgias' world. I think the author did a good job of showing them as 3 dimensional people and not cartoon villains (although I could see how that would be easy to do).
The edition I was reading, which as a different cover than the one shown here, had a quite a few typos.
