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:
“Much of what contrives to create critical moments in parenting stems from a fundamental misunderstanding as to what the child is capable of at any given age. If a parent misjudges a child’s limitations as well as his own abilities, the potential exists for unreasonable expectations, frustration, disappointment and an unrealistic belief that what the child really needs is to be punished.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
“I am accustomed to think very long of going anywhere,—am slow to move. I hope to hear a response of the oracle first.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
