A while ago I posted a review of K. J. Parker's Colours in the Steel. I finally got around to reading the other two books in the trilogy. At the time, I said "I’m happy to have two more chunks of comfortable reading ahead of me."

Two, yes. Chunks, yes. Reading, yes. Well-written, yes. Comfortable? Not to any notable degree. In the end, the Fencer trilogy is a tragedy about the Loredan family and their inability to love one another. I would still recommend them, but they are not in any way nice.
