Title: Amazingly surprising
Review: First, the "House of Niccolo" should be read BEFORE the "chronicle of Limond" because this collection sets the stage for Limond to arrive.Secondly, one shall not expect, right away to enter with ease into the 1st volume. It explains the birth of the banking system, the mercantile system and so on. No matter how brilliant you are, one has to explain it to be able to build on it. And that's what Dunnett does with elegance. Do not drop the book, it takes few chapters and then starts the fabulous ascension of Nicholas.Each book happens in a different country. I've visited all but one and Dunnett left me breathless. Again, you can't put any book down. So, stick to it and you'll have a great reward of knowledge, history and fiction. Niccolo more than Lymond is a great peace of Art. Enjoy.
