I liked Niccolo the person a great deal more than Lymond, and I still liked Lymond. I found Niccolo much warmer and more accessible. Even if he does get Lymondized to some extent, though not permanently.
As for the women in this series. Sigh. I really struggled with more than one of them. Although there is one delightful woman who won't show up for a while.
I, too, struggled to follow the plot and understand it much less well than Lymond because I've read Lymond twice. One day, I will reread Niccolo.

But, thank you for blogging this!
