The Daughter of Siena by Marina Fiorato

2.0

The premise of this book (Romance and intrigue set during the Sienna Palio Horse race in 1723) seemed fascinating to me, and I was eager to read this book. Unfortunately, it fell flat. The author couldn't keep track of the names of her characters, and the timeline was very odd. Something that happened on one page would be referred to on the next page as a week ago, when we as readers knew that it was the same day. This happened again and again. The discrepancies and the irrational drama of the characters ruined what otherwise might have been a good book.
