Checkmate
Checkmate: Sixth in the Legendary Lymond Chronicles | Dorothy Dunnett
4 posts | 14 read | 3 to read
For the first time Dunnett's Lymond Chronicles are available in the United States in quality paperback editions. Sixth in the legendary Lymond Chronicles, Checkmate takes place in 1557, where Francis Crawford of Lymond is once again in France, leading an army against England. But even as the Scots adventurer succeeds brilliantly on the battlefield, his haunted past becomes a subject of intense interest to forces on both sides.

For the #booktober prompt today, #bestsidekick , I chose two. Philippa Somerville from Dorothy Dunnett's Lymond Chronicles, because she's clever and adventurous and opinionated and willing to go through anything for what is good. And because she can run along rooftops. ;) And Sieh, the trickster god of The Inheritance Trilogy, most likely found as a child or cat. Because I have always loved trickster gods, in fiction that is! @RealLifeReading

LeahBergen Yes to Philippa!!!! 8y
thecharmofit @LeahBergen Isn't she the best?!? 8y

Just finished my reread. This book is still epic in scope of adventure, romance, and plot twists. I cry at the end every time.
