message: Quote from article: "In 1992 she was created an Office of the OBE "
Something is confused in this sentence.  Should it be: "an officer of the OBE" ? Or just "granted an OBE"?
- Just OBE.  I have corrected this.  the 'O' as in 'Order' doesn't get an 'O' in the abbreviation, thus a Member of the Order of the British Empire' is MBE, not MOBE, a Commander is CBE not COBE and an Officer is OBE, not OOBE.

Cleaned up intro to HofN and added to HofN a para that contrasts LC with HofN in scope, use of historical characters, and style.

message: A question -- In looking at my Vintage copies of LC, the official title of LC appears to be "Lymond Chronicles" without the definite article "The". I've used the definite article, lower case, in sentences for readability but eliminated "The" in the headings. I'm more than willing to stand corrected. If indeed "The" is part of the title, then the name of the article on the series should be changed from Lymond Chronicles to include "The" and "the" should be capitalized in sentences to conform.
I've responded to some email list comments on the description of the characters/style in HoN. Hopefully it is now an objective description and less a subjective assessment. It also avoids making such a pointed comparison with LC.
Edited JJ description for readibility.
I found a few errors, wikified Macbeth and Thorfinn and did a bit of format cleanup.

message: I like adding the info on what types of scenes (action-filled, comedy, etc.). Did a bit of revision to make it a bit less subjective-sounding. Didn't know what "evocative" was.
Let's not put a spoiler (Philippa) in a summary.
