I LOVED the first book in this Trilogy so much! While I find the following book and this one okay, they have not been good and I find that a little disappointing.

This book was a good conclusion to the Expected One series. I enjoyed continuing to follow Maureen on her journey in learning about her families history.

A little over the top and melodramatic and the present day characters aren't nearly as interesting as the ones from the Renaissance, but overall pretty good.

Although not the most well-written books, I really enjoy this series. I find the secret, heretical plots lines fascinating. And the backdrop of the Renaissance in book #3 is wonderful. Makes me want to visit Florence!

I know these secret society/there-has-to-be-hidden-meaning plots are all the rage right now and are generally not worth anyone's time or brainpower, but I really, truly love Kathleen McGowan's way of fictionalizing history. She's an incredible writer and mixes fact and fiction so beautifully that I was left with a healthy sense of enjoyment, curiosity, and respect for the text. Also of note: I connect despite not being religious in the least. Perhaps it's the whole heretical nature of the story, but it makes much more sense to me than any organized religion out there.
Beautiful.
Beautiful.

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.

Ho adorato questo libro e ho adorato l'intera saga, anche se da quello che ho capito non è più una trilogia, ma uscirà un quarto libro, cosa che non mi dispiace affatto!!! Un libro che si legge tutto d'un fiato, con l'ansia crescente e la voglia di non fare altro tranne leggere. Il libro tratta anche la storia di Lorenzo De'Medici, mi sono accorta di non ricordarmi nulla dalla scuola su questo personaggio, e la scrittrice mi ha talmente tanto incuriosito che mi sono comprata un libro sulla storia della famiglia Dè Medici. Io consiglio l'intera saga a tutti quanti, è veramente bellissima!!!
