To anyone else who's heard multiple recommendations for the Lymond books by Dorothy Dunnett on here - you may be interested to know that the first in the series in currently £1.99 on kindle. I've just downloaded it in preparation for my holiday reading as I'm intrigued by the devotion.

Finished it, loved it, will definitely read it again as well.
All comes together so cleverly. Really satisfying.

It's a brilliant series, but it is a hard read, you have to pay attention. I also think she's quite an allusive writer - she doesn't feel the need to explain everything, so you have to join the dots yourself. Last time I read it with Google at my elbow, so I could check the bits I didn't understand.

The scene in, I think, the second-last book with Lymond and Phillipa in a boat, is the most romantic scene of anything I've read, even though one of them is asleep (not in a creepy way, truly).

I did find this though, which might be helpful. www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Guide-Dorothy-Dunnetts-Kings/dp/1478260335?tag=mumsnetforum-21

I’m part way through.
I’m really enjoying the writing but I’m a bit at sea with the plot...
I think that might be me though.

Sorry The Game of Kings that should say.
