review 1: I have this as an Audible.com book. This is book three of a three-part (so far) series. Of the series, it is the one I enjoyed the most. It takes place almost entirely during the time of Lorenzo the Magnificent (de Medici) in Florence.I am unsure if the narrator was changed, but the Scottish and Irish accents were much better in this audible book. I believe the book was enhanced by the Italian accent used by the reader.My only problem with this book is its numerous references to paintings that exist. The problem being that I have nothing to visualize while the reader goes on. I read it sitting at my computer so I could Google the paintings being talked about. How I would love an illustrated version of this book that I could have open while listening.I am sure that many Cat... moreholics will have trouble with this book and with the series. But I am also certain that many of the atrocities illuminated by this story have happened and that this is only a tiny part of those wrongs.
review 2: I keep reading this series as I think the story premise is very interesting, McGowan has developed the history of a sacred blood line and threaded it into a story. I add that whilst the premise is interesting and makes for a good storyline the writers style is weighed down by her research and personal experiences. This book took a while for me to wade through and after reading the authors notes that she has decided to expand upon her original concept of a trilogy of books, I've decided to hop off the bus, I won't be reading any more, the stories aren't good enough. less
