What Members Thought
3.5 stars. Elegant but lacks a compelling story. Still very entertaining reading.
9/10
This book follows several major characters whose stories move together and apart like figures in a dance, but with rather more bloodshed than one’s usual cotillion. Still, Kay’s writing is as beautiful and lyrical as always, and the characters are unique and memorable, vividly bought to life (and death). I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves, as the author himself relates, “history with a quarter turn to the fantastic”.
