Reading some reviews I'm rather glad I hadn't read the Vorkosigan saga first. Not that I don't love that science fiction series of Bujold, which I discovered later, but I didn't go into this one with expectations shaped by that series. No, this isn't science fiction (although I think there are hints...
This series probably isn't for everyone, but I really dug it. It's definitely the characters that do it for me and also the way Bujold writes. I think she can write about Dag and Fawn doing any number of boring mundane things and I'll probably still enjoy reading it. Even so, I was glad for the acti...
This time I knew it was romantic fantasy, but honestly, how can so little happen?They came to the camp, peeps hated his farmer wife, tension -> tension -> and more tension. He went to fight. -> silence. More tension and then the end.Sure I still enjoyed it, but I think it is the world that saves it ...
The second in the Sharing Knife series. Bujold is always great, and I really enjoy this world. I love the fact that it’s based on the Midwest (go, overlooked regions of the US!) and find the magical system fascinating. [May 2011]
Last month, I received all four of Bujold's Sharing Knife books from EOS. Their original call for advanced readers was for book four in the series, Horizon, due out January 27, 2009. But they sweetened the offer by throwing in books one through three. I jumped on it, promising to review not just Hor...
The story picks right up where Beguilement left off. This time, we get a closer look at the Lakewalkers, and they turned out to be quite a bit different than what I had expected. As always, Ms.Bujold writes up a cracking good story, and yes, there are two more after this one. For the complete review...
This is the second installment of this series, and it was just as enjoyable as the first. I will admit that I thought the first one had a bit more action and I enjoyed it a bit more because of that. This second installment was a lot quieter and slower than the first. But it slowly build on the actio...
Bujold's story of Fawn, Dag, Farmers and Lakewalkers continue in Legacy. You learn very quickly how deep seated tradition closes off family and clan to that which is unknown and forbidden. Again, it is a story of how ignorance and close mindedness hurts not only those that you love, but those that...
I was surprised to find I actually enjoyed reading this book. I still don’t like Fawn, who is oh-so-sweet and naïve, or Dag, whose “I’m just an old warhorse” schtick is pretty tired. In fact, I find their entire romance contrived and unrealistic, and their “artfully” yet explicitly described sex s...
