MUCH TOO LENGTHY THOUGHTS:Well, I seem to have been properly sideswiped by this one. or perhaps the more accurate verb would be trounced. trammeled. shebanged. My sleeping habits these past few days have been nothing short of atrocious. Even as I type this I am thinking of throwing aside my laptop and making a dive for Pawn in Frankincense, lying but a few feet to the right of my itchy fingers. (I suppose I should be grateful there is no title in this series called The Fianchettoed Bishop,That bloody beautiful ending! I mean ... did you SEE that? That was, like, monumental. Just when you thought this one thing was happening, something else happened and made me realize, nope, that ain't what's happenin'. THIS is what's happening ... FOR NOW, anyway, because GUESS WHAT? That's not going to happen either because something else a whole HELL of a lot bigger and darker is going to happen. It's like Dunnett was holding me by the scruff of my neck and jerking me from one astounding
Dunnett's endings are crazy good.
Third installment of this very excellent historical series. This book introduces a villan almost as compelling and mesmerisisng as Francis Lymond himself.Can't add much more than what other readers have already stated. These books are lengthy and have quite convoluted plots but the characters and their motives are wonderful and engaging reading. Wonderful author and simply a top notch series

Francis Crawford of Lymond is sent by the French King to the Island of Malta where the Knights Hospitallers are threatened by an invasion from the Turks. While there Francis is caught up in the politics of the Knights, in particular one Graham Malett who the reader will discover is not at all what he and his convent raised sister are what they appear to be on the surface. As Dunnett slowly peels back the layers of her story, the reader is taken from Malta to embattled Tripoli and then back again
It took me over a month to work my way through this third novel in Dorothy Dunnett's challenging Lymond series. It's lengthy and complex historical fiction novel, and there were more than a few detours for me along the way (I was easily distracted by other books in the early stages, but that was my fault as much as this book's). But once again, as the story started moving toward its climactic scenes, and events got more and more exciting and gripping, and the pieces started to fall into place
