i wish there was a way i could get more friends to read the lymond chronicles but the pitch is truly like "...are you prepared for six books of about 600 words each, filled with dense prose, political complexities, multiple points-of-view (none of them actually the hero, mind), several languages including the dead versions of modern ones, and obscure classical literary references? there's also rampant bisexuality, swashbuckling, cross-dressing, and painful amounts of whump. if you've ever loved lawrence of arabia this series is for you."
