Personally, I did not like the Ivy Tree because I could not sympathize with any of the characters.
Having said that, I still love Mary Stewart and her style. Yes, I agree with Charybdis that her writing is sometimes above my level of education with its literary references, but it gives me respect for her intellect. I do not find her arrogant - I believe it is just her and she was not aware that there are some ignoramuses amongst her readers.
