Part of an ongoing reread of my favorite series in the world, Dunnett's Lymond Chronicles.
Still brilliant, still heartbreaking, still the perfect denoument to the two part story of how Francis Crawford takes on a brilliant, truly evil villain. In order not to spoil all the phenomenal twists, I can't say much except: the end is still so tense I had to read it secretly at work all day, I cried at the end even though this time I knew what was coming, and this is the book where Philippa overtakes Francis as my favorite character. That scene at the end with them, man... Oh boy. Ohhhhh boy.
