Commentary During 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 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

The story drags on.

Going into this book, I had no idea that this was the second book in the series. I started Light on Lucrezia with a bit of trepidation since I wasnt sure if I would understand the story as it was a sequel, following Madonna of the Seven Hills, the first book in Jean Plaidys Lucrezia Borgia series.
