Since there are only four books in Caudwell's Hilary Tamar series, I know to pace myself. It is a book I will surely re-read just for the sheer joy in the highly stylized writing rich with satire, irony, literary allusions, and truly funny Shakespeare jokes.
It is possible that you may not like it if you are not so enchanted with British humour. Although that is hard to imagine.
