The Poet Prince Audiobook

" Not as a compelling as the first and not as interesting as the second but still a good read. I am not sure if McGowan knows where she wants this story to go anymore. It hopped all over the place. "

" This book intrigued me bringing forth beliefs and ideas completely foreign to me. Her research was so well done. She had me frequently researching the Internet to try to decipher fact from faction. The book so intrigued me that I am now reading her earlier books in the Madeline series. "

" Not as good as the first two but still entertaining. "

" This book started out slow for me but persistence paid off. Like the Davinci Code, the book explores the possibility that Mary Magdalene was Jesus' wife. I didn't know how much I would enjoy historical fiction until this year. I learned a lot about the Medici's and the Renaissance period. I love reading series and to my delight, there are two more books by this same author. "

" Kathleen McGowan first caught my attention with the Expected One. Being a fan of historical fiction. This book fell a little short of expectations, but still had me going. It was a must in finishing the series. I look forward to her new works as hinted in this read. "

" Not as good as the other 2 books. Seemed like an after thought. But worth reading just to get that last piece of the puzzle. "

" I did not enjoy this book as well as her previous too. I think the Italian names made it harder to connect with the people. It took me longer to connect with Lorenzo and Columbina's story. The present day story resolved itself rather abruptly. But overall I did like it. "

" I really enjoyed this series and look forward to her next book.I loved the storyline as well as all of the interesting history from the Renaissance period interwoven throughout the book. "

" it was ok. a bit disappointed there will be a 4th book was hoping for everything to be tied up in this book. "

" Another great book in the series. I loved the story line about Loranzo Medici the best, fascinating stuff. "

" Sometimes tedious to read this author. "

" Een ode aan de liefde... Zo prachtig! "

" Cannot wait till the next one! The first in the series will always be a favorite, but anything Kathleen McGowan does is a winner. "

" I enjoyed this one as well as the first two. I was a little disappointed at how well everything came together so perfectly at the end. "

" Too much going on in the story - could not enjoy, and don't recommend. "

" I gave this book two stars because it took me 9+ months to read and in the end, I skimmed the last 30+ pages. It wasn't a bad book, but it had serious pacing issues. I enjoyed the first two books of this series, but this one was just not as gripping. "

" Again a book you can't put down. Loved it! "

" Agree with other reviewer.....kind of all over the place. It didnt really take me 440 days to read, but the first book in the series is the best. "

" Overall, enjoyable. I really enjoyed learning more about the Medici family of the 15th century. It was not nearly as controversial as the first one and definitely more historical fiction-like. "

" I enjoyed this book as well. It is the third of the trilogy. It was slightly slower paced than the two others in the series, but still a great read. Loved this series. "

" Loved this, the third book in McGowan's Magdalene series. This one features Lorenzo di Medici as the chosen defender of the bloodline dynasty; running parallel to the continuing contemporary story of Sinclair Berenger and Maureen Paschal, the bloodline historian. Highly recommended! "

" Just picked it up in the library - never knew it was the end of a trilogy! Oh well.. (Mind the Gap potential?) "

" I am not as thrilled with this third book in the series. I am listening to the unabridged audio, I like this new reader better. But, not as thrilled with the story line in the third book. "

" Ugh, I dunno. I give her 3 stars for an interesting historical subject, but I'd like to give her 2 stars for getting super formulaic in her books. And she's got ANOTHER one coming out. Where does it end?!?! "

" I enjoyed this one as well as the first two. I was a little disappointed at how well everything came together so perfectly at the end. "

" Sometimes tedious to read this author. "

" Not as a compelling as the first and not as interesting as the second but still a good read. I am not sure if McGowan knows where she wants this story to go anymore. It hopped all over the place. "

" I just really enjoyed this series, weaving real history with the legends of the secret societies. Very interesting and fun read. "

" Another great book in the series. I loved the story line about Loranzo Medici the best, fascinating stuff. "

" More of the Magdelene series,but intro into the masculine line of spirituality. Some ideas are mind boggling,but enough to keep me interested in where this series will go. "

" Another great read and inspiration for my own christianity! "

" It's a guilty pleasure, this series. I've even highlighted passages. I'll probably read the 4th one when it comes out. I like the subject matter, and while I admire McGowan's ability to weave so much together in the plot lines, I'm not "wow-ed" by the experience of reading this. "
