Intricate politics, intriguing characters, a bit of a mystery, family drama, and phenomenal prose. I would highly recommend immersion reading. The emotion the narrator injects into each voice was incredible. Each character leapt off the page, but let’s be clear - he could never have done such a great job had Dorothy Dunnett not written so thoroughly and so well.
