Fun books, each better than last, tied together nicely in the end. Decent philosophical debates, good pop and nerd cultural references, lots grim Rooskie weather, Slavic stoicism, and maudlin vodka drinking...along with much dry humor. You could do much worse. Finished book 4 today and I think it is the last one.
In the Tudor Period, Fencing Masters were classified in the Vagrancy Laws along with Actors, Gypsys, Vagabonds, Sturdy Rogues, and the owners of performing bears.
