Really liked parts of it; generally felt it was too long and padded; Austin Grey is my new Sekrit Boyfriend-- really, he'd be much more satisfactory than Lymond. (So would Richard. Or Adam. Even Jerrott-- poor Jerrott.) Think Lymond needs meds for migraines and bipolarity. Despite my medical problem being nowhere near as bad as his, still rather jealous of the way he has people fawning all over him and cooling his fevered brow, etc, every time he's sick.
Still think Lymond caused most of his own problems, although now spreading some of the blame to Sybilla.
Pawn still highlight of series. I liked Phillippa better before she approached the glowing air of perfection which surrounds Lymond as well. Also, this lacks a villain of the stature of you-know^who is Knights and Pawn.
Also, the relationship they kept calling incest is not incest. Doing it with people related to you by marriage but not blood is not incest, although it is fairly squicky. As I predicted, the parentage issue was somewhat anticlimactic.
Finally, his Great Work is all in vain, right? Mary Queen of Scots is executed, right?
So how are the Niccolo books, King Hereafter, and the silly-titled mysteries?
