The Poet Prince by Kathleen McGowan is the third book in The Magdalene Line Series. It is my least favorite of the three, but still worth reading if you are already invested in the series.
This time, the novel is set in Florence during the Renaissance, and explores the lives of Lorenzo de' Medici, Botticelli, and Michaelangelo, as they relate to the story of the teachings of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. The modern characters in this novel are not as central as in the earlier two books, and this part of the book was lacking and felt incomplete.
McGowan continues to bring to life women whom history has ignored, and it is for these insights that the books continue to hold my interest. Although meant to be a trilogy, McGowan is currently at work on the fourth novel in the series, sure to please fans.
