I don't feel coherent enough to review this book, and I'm not sure I ever will. What I can say is that it is painful and it is beautiful and I will read it again. I've got a playlist of sappy songs with the only purpose to comfort myself. Also I've got the perfect Lymond in my mind: And som...
No ordered thoughts or anything even resembling a proper review.The Russia parts turned out the most boring ones in the book. Although I did find some of Philippa's page time in the first part not so intriguing as well.I can't see Lymond surviving a few more blows to the head, both physical and emot...
So so so good. The bad part of finishing it is that I can't start the next one before the end of the holidays. Or, to be on the safe side of passing my exams, before the end of January. Which sucks big time.Still, I got to read one hell of a mind fuck, one that I need time to process properly, so pe...

I really liked Kate. And Philippa. I liked them in The Game of Kings, I loved them here, from the first "It was...
It took me a while to warm to this novel of 16th Century Scotland, the first in a series, but one that could stand alone. I wouldn't call it a slog exactly--it's never dull, but it is at times difficult. It's written in omniscient with a lot of archaic vocabulary and spelling, Scottish dialect, snat...
I closed the book at page 100. It seemed to really drag, interesting but slow. I might be me so I put it aside and will try again in the future. For now I will give it 2 stars but that could change.
Wow.I hadn't done that in a while. Staying up all night with a book is a pleasure when you have the morning to sleep in, not when your alarm rings before you've read the last page and you still haven't gone to bed. Last time I stayed up with a book - to the last page of a book - was in March, with (...
“I despised men who accepted their fate. I shaped mine twenty times and had it broken twenty times in my hands.”Bold words from a bold man. Francis Crawford of Lymond has been accused of the most nefarious things: deceit, treachery, rape, drunkenness, murder,and just so he will for sure hang...trea...
