Review title: Stop at number 4 -- Scales of Gold
Product review: I read the first book in the Niccolo series before I read the Lymond series or King Hereafter. After reading that book, I couldn't get enough of Dunnett. I've read everything she wrote, which took some doing, because many of the books were not readily available.That said, I can't recommend Gemini. For the first four books, I thought the Niccolo series was the best historical fiction ever written. But the series begins to deteriorate with number 5, although there are still some good moments. Unfortunately by number 8, the story is just plain boring. Read about your own father -- he's probably more interesting.I recommend that anyone not already in love with Dunnett's writing, just stop after the fourth book (Scales of Gold). And even if you ARE in love with Dunnett, I would give Gemini a miss. It's just too disappointing.
