By far, the Best historical fiction I have ever read in my life. I am lost in these books (reading the 8th one now)and don't want them to end. I feel stuffed now with knowledge of the Renaissance I never had before, but in a good way, a retentive way. Wish I'd had these in college when studying history. Dunnett's style is more alive than anything else of this genre (and yes, that includes the extremely popular Gabaldon series (i.e. Dragonfly in Amber). Incrediby well-researched, Ms. Dunnett was an artist and musician as well as a writer, a Renaissance woman in her own right. P.S. And the Lymond series are almost as good (much debate among Dunnett fans over who is more wonderful, Niccolo or Francis Lymond. I am on Team Niccolo, needless to say!) ENjoy. :)
