The Vatican Princess: A Novel of Lucrezia Borgia by C.W. Gortner

2.0

---

When I first got my hands on this book I was so excited but that feeling quickly faded. It was impossible for me to read this book in the beginning. I actually went days without reading it (which is rare for me and books) so I constantly had to start over. I just couldn't remember what happened or some of the characters names. I didn't like this book but the story held my attention because the events disturbed me so much. There were numerous times I had to pause when reading and contemplated not finishing, but I kept wondering if the story would get more interesting after a while so read on. It did when Lucrezia met her second husband Alfonso but then I felt boredom so the interesting part just seemed to fade away. This just didn't seem like this was the book for me but I can see others looking it since the author definitely has a subtle allure in his writing style.
