Ah too bad this is the last in this exciting series but my friend who bought me the first book just told me about Nicolo. Hooray. While I was waiting for it I read the King Hearafter. Excellent "prequel" to the Lymond series.

The best of the series! If you like Dorothy Dunnett, make sure you read this one. I couldn't put it down. Her writing is a good as Shakespeare's best dramas.

This last in the series The Lymond Chronicles is as marvelous as its five predecessors. Dunnett created an historical tapestry of an extravagant era: great excitement, political intrigues, romance, danger, sense of place, and humor. Characters are convincing and highly developed, and the interweaving of plot with historical fact is seamless. Best historical fiction of our age.
