I like it, it’s not getting great reviews though. It is the kind of thing that makes you think, Maybe I should have read the book first? I think there are 11 books, including prequels that came later.

It’s visually stunning and I like the story. It’s surprisingly gender balanced for a book written in the 40s.

It’s hard to find a good pick of the dress, but this is the best I could do. It’s a Roman style breast plate with an empire (ha ha) waist full length dress, all in cobalt blue.
