I've also thought that maybe I should read the Lymond Chronicles sometime. Half the things I hear about it make me think I would like it, and the other half make me think I would want to strangle Lymond, which makes it hard to decide.
Fwiw these were my exact reactions throughout reading the Lymond Chronicles. Massive enjoyment of the prose and wit and amazing set pieces and whump, while simultaneously wanting to slap Lymond out of his stew of manpain. Overall I'd say it was worth it though, for the half-gleeful sensation of recognizing Dunnett's influences in a ton of other works, if nothing else.
