    10 stars for scholarship; zero for organization
  

*by B***L on Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2015*

For the outstanding scholarship I award 10 stars!  For the organization of this and the second volume I award zero stars.  It's just awful.  In this first volume Morrison covers all six volumes of Lymond and the first four volumes of the House of Niccolo in alphabetical order.  I prefer Laura Caine Ramsey's page by page organization which is much easier to use.  But then Morrison makes it worse.  Morrison wrote a second volume which covers all 6 volumes of Lymond and all 8 volumes of Niccolo, again in alphabetical order.  So when you are reading Lymond or any of the first 4 volumes of Niccolo and you go to look something up in Morrison's first volume and it is not there, then you have to stop and look the same thing up again in Volume II of Morrison.  The organization couldn't be much worse.  You totally lose the flow of the novels as you go back and forth between volumes.  And frequently what you are looking up isn't there anyway.  e.g., many French and Spanish references are translated and explained; many are omitted all together. It is as tho Morrison and her publisher were in such a rush to get into print, they published volume one before Morrison had finished writing volume one.  If only Morrison had put  all of Lymond into one volume and all of Niccolo into a second volume.But the fact remains, the scholarship is outstanding.  Morrison has added so much to my understanding of Dunnett's masterpiece.  (I refer to Lymond and Niccolo as one masterpiece because Dunnett referred to them as one series.)  It would be a shame to miss out on what Morrison will add to your understanding.  I especially enjoyed the short biographies of non-fiction characters.

    Useful but Not Amazing
  

*by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2017*

Like some other reviewers, I really wish this book was organized to match up with each volume of Dunnett's work.  The huge scope of alphabetical references is definitely better than not having ANY references at all, but it's a little maddening at times.  And occasionally something I REALLY expected to be in the Companion is not there at all.  But so far, it's useful.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Mixed feelings
  

*by L***A on Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2011*

I know the book has loads of great information, but initially I've been disappointed because many of the terms or phrases I am curious about aren't listed. For instance, in The Disorderly Knights, should I know what Lymond means when he says (at Kindle location 1656) "The three mutes with a bowstring"? And what does "stooters" mean in "hell-bent on stooters"? Also, I agree with the review "Disappointing, August 22, 2005" for the way the book is structured. It would have been nice to have the unusual terms, sayings, foreign language quotes, and historical references in the order of their appearance (I found a partial list at [...]/zine/azurite/gknotes.html). Musings: How about WITHIN each book footnotes, annotations, and an alphabetical index in the back. But then you'd need to republish the books. The Kindle would be perfect for that, as long as they supplemented the dictionary with terms from the books and added footnotes to perhaps jump to the Companion or Companion-like appendix and/or a supplemental dictionary tailored to the book; the current dictionary does provide a surprising number of historical definitions and background, but not enough. In any case, I love the Lymond Chronicles and look forward to the House of Nicolo series.
