Thank you for this marvelous review of the series - which I finished reading a couple of months ago.
You captured many of my own feelings about the books very well.
And, thanks especially for the "heads up" that Waugh wrote a novel about Emperor Constantine's mother. That book is at the top of my to-read queue now.
You are welcome! Helena is a nice, breezy, read. I can see why Waugh liked it. It deals with a subject he cares about and is interested in. It is not his best, but good fun nonetheless.
