What I don’t understand is why you would write a novel with Niccolò Machiavelli as protagonist, a man who’s been famous for 500 years for being a pragmatist regardless of morality, and then not characterize him as such.

This book is aggressively heterosexual, which… Have you read Niccolò Machiavelli?
Disappointing.

[I’m reading this in French but Goodreads doesn’t have that edition listed.]
So this book just committed its first cardinal sin, and that is to name Juan Borgia as Rodrigo Borgia’s firstborn.
Fun fact! Juan Borgia was actually the fifth child, and if we exclude the girls, the third son. That he was the eldest is a common misconception that shows a lack of in-depth research from the author.
