Critical Response
The Sigismondo series received a positive response from many reviewers when it was released, with good reviews appearing in the Mail on Sunday (London), the Sunday Express (London) and the Weekend Telegraph (London), some of which were reprinted on the dust jackets of the later volumes in the series.
From The Mail on Sunday, London
"An imaginative drama of courtly Renaissance Italy, complete with dwarves, secret passages, plots and passions – and feasts that make an English Christmas dinner look positively paltry. Sigismondo, the Duke's mystery sleuth, could well be starting a career to equal Ellis Peter's Brother Cadfael's"

Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or response:
“Probably more than youngsters at any age, early adolescents expect the adults they care about to demonstrate the virtues they want demonstrated. They also tend to expect adults they admire to be absolutely perfect. When adults disappoint them, they can be critical and intolerant.”
—The Lions Clubs International and the Quest Nation. The Surprising Years, I, ch.4 (1985)
“What I’m saying is that a lot of behavior that you are talking about is a direct response of people not having a future, or feeling that they don’t have a future.”
—William Julius Wilson (b. 1935)
