I recently completed my reading of this six-volume set, which I found utterly engrossing from beginning to end. It was not always easy going, most especially the first volume, which appears to have been Dorothy Dunnett’s first venture into writing fiction. Adding to the initial difficulty was my own error of reading a downloaded version of it, an error I then corrected by purchasing paperback editions of all six volumes. Why is that better?Starting with volume I, you definitely want to be able to flip back to the opening pages, in which the many characters, both historical and fictional, are listed with their full names and titles. Otherwise you may well believe you are reading about three different persons, when it is really only one, or vice-versa. There are also maps in the opening pages of each volume, to help locate where things in the story are happening from time to time. A paperback edition is ideal for handling these things. Besides, the quality of the writing itself rates shelving these volumes in your favorite spot.Scattered here and there in our winding tale, you will also find occasional poetry, song lyrics, and sayings in Scottish, Latin and early French, which will be more easily understood in context if you also purchase a paperback version of Elspeth Morrison’s "The Dorothy Dunnett Companion," where translations are likely to be found — as well as more detailed descriptions of the many mid-16th-Century characters and events covered in this impressive Chronicle.Why put yourself through all this? Because, despite the above challenges plus a vocabulary that easily vies with that of Nabokov in complexity and obscurity, the late Dorothy Dunnett was a master story teller who keeps you, the reader, enthralled and constantly surprised at what happens next throughout quite an amazing tale of high adventure taking place in Scotland, England, France, the Levant, and Russia. The education comes extra!I gather that Dorothy Dunnett’s writings have gained an international following, and I believe it is well deserved. Furthermore, I’m so glad I finally got to reading these books that had been recommended to me by one of my best students many years ago.
I have waited a long time for a book to blow me away like The Game of Kings (set in 1500s Scotland) has. The glamorous and dangerous protagonist, the Master of Lymond, is completely fascinating in his own right as an ambiguous and provocative character. He is extraordinarily witty, a polyglot -- speaks numerous languages, throwing them around liberally. I read some reviews as I got started and took to heart the advice about not getting too caught up in the "Wait, what just happened? Who just hurled that insult at Lymond?" Little by little the rising action gels, and much is revealed a the end. Dunnett's vocabulary gave me enormous pleasure; I get so tired of the same old pedestrian language of most novels. In the space of 20 pages, I would look up at least ten words, and most of these had to be Googled because they are not in the common lexicon. I felt expanded and moved by the scholarship of her writing. There is, oddly, a lot of romance in the book but pretty much zero sex. I found this story very refreshing and skillfully rendered. I just wish I could give it six stars. On to the next book in the series!
The Game of Kings by Dorthy Dunnett “The Game of Kings†kicks Dorthy Dunnett's six volume series, the Lymond Chronicles, into furious gear. Dunnett has created one of the enduring literary characters in her hero, Lymond of Crawford, the Master of Cutler. The Master, as his sixteenth century Scotts contemporaries call him, has the durability of Vin Diesel, the heroism of James Bond, the erudition of James Joyce, the graceful athleticism of Buckham and the looks of a teen heart throb. Does that seem like a lot to stuff into a single character? Dunnett makes it work. It works so well that the Lymond books have become and remain one of the most compelling and popular series in all of historical fiction. Lymond has the fortune of being the second son of a middling family of the Scotts nobility. Queen Mary is a four year old, the nation has enemies within and without. The English have no reluctance about re-uniting the two kingdoms by physical annexation, provided England can muster the powder and power to do the job. The ever fractious nobility of Scotland turns itself inside out in seeking for familial advantage, often at the disadvantage of the nation as a whole. Lymond, an outlaw with every man's hand against him, including the two strong hands of his elder brother, tries to stay alive, to help his country and to clear his name, fouled by the most heinous offalse charges. Dunnett writes a plot complicated enough for any mystery fan, populated with characters vividly drawn down into the third and forth tier of importance. A glove maker who occupies only a few pages has the depth and living breath of a genuine person just as much as one of the major characters who live on scores of pages. Plot has a great importance to the reader but plot cannot interest us in characters who we cannot understand or believe. Dunnett does both well enough to make her a lasting personage in literature. And she does it with a staggering density of writing. Nearly every sentence carries a heavy freight of historical, cultural, linguistic and mythological allusion. We are not simply entertained, we are instructed. And we are enthralled.
This book was written when every educated person could read Latin and French and another language or two as well. I gradually gave up trying to decipher the bits that weren't in English and to let the obscure references to (I assume) Greek myths and Roman history just pass by. And, like Russian novels, everyone has three names, which I sometimes lost track of.Even without understanding everything it was a wonderful adventure story with my favorite kind of hero: very, very smart, tricky, but also carrying a load of guilt. Handsome too! I'm looking forward to all the books to come in the series.
