Blood & Beauty: The Borgias by Sarah Dunant
4.0
3.5
The Borgias are an infamous bunch, and any book written about them will be filled with some of the highest levels of drama and intrigue. There is so much happening, a lot of moving pieces that the reader needs to keep track of, that it sometimes works to the book's detriment. Things can get dry when Dunant is giving readers much-needed historical context. Overall, I had an enjoyable time reading this book.
I hope to continue with the series (but perhaps will not start immediately as I think I will focus on something lighter for my next read).
