Good, but challenging to read. The characters speak often in period- appropriat  references,  which can be kind of impenetrable for a modern reader without a classics background. That said, the strong story and characters shine through despite that. I would definitely pick the book up again when I have the time to dedicate to it.

Holy shit

The more I think about this book the more I like it. Sweeping and incredibly intelligent narration, beautiful and funny tone, and a main character I am now fully obsessed with. I'm rotating Lymond in my mind, examining him...
