I also struggled with the first book of the Lymond series. It seems like it is necessary to set up the vast array of characters and (more importantly) outline what their motives or goals might be. This sets the rest of the novel in motion as the author then moves us through a fairly straightforward narrative. However, as the story nears it ends - all the pieces that were set up in the beginning (which at the time didn't exactly make sense) come together in a resounding manner. Slow to start - but moves powerfully once it gets going. Really enjoyed it at the end.

I so enjoyed this book. It was fun, heart-warming and made me laugh on several occasions.
