YAY! He's mine too - poor lamb - so confused by his love for Lymond and twisted around Marthe's & Lymond's fingers and described as oh so very, VERY yummy ;)
I don't like the Russian parts of RC all that much either - too many new characters in whom I have no emotional investment (like Ivan the Terrible!!)... But I adore that scene where Lymond realizes he's in love with Philippa. So, SO much - it's wonderful to see Lymond at a total loss, and it's one of the few moments in the series which we experience from *his* point of view rather than watching him be opaque with others.
I think I did the same thing you're doing - raced through the books and then went back and read 'em a second time to savour everything ...
