"Shards Of Honour" is Science Fiction at its best, using the conflict between two cultures and the attraction between two strong, independent, action-oriented leaders both to tell an exciting tale and to spark insights into the nature of power, honour, personal courage, leadership and personal and i...

This book combined one of my least favorite SFF genres, space opera, with one of my least favorite genres in general, romance, and yet I found it a very compelling read. Lois McMaster Bujold is clearly a master storyteller. If I were suggesting this book to someone, I'm not sure I'd call it a "scien...
This is the first part of the opening duology of the Vorkosigan Saga. Although I read the omnibus-edition containing both this one and Barrayar, I decided to review the books separately after my 2nd read-through in 2013 - be aware that because this is the review of a second-read-through it already c...
AudiobookI'm doing a re-read by audiobook. Love this series. I am crazy about how these two disparate people find enough in common to fall in love. My favorite book of the series. Grover Gardner does a fantastic job with the narration.
Count me as someone unashamed to read YA, but one of the things I love best about this multi-planet, clashing cultures, space opera is that its main character is a mature, take-it-as-it-comes thirty-something not an excitable, inexperienced sixteen.

I’m bringing back an old feature I did a few times–reading notes! I tend to use these when I’m re-reading a book and having Thoughts that aren’t quite a review. In this case, I’m taking a look at the first two books in Lois McMaster Bujold’s Vorkosigan Saga, handily collected into an omnibus and tit...

This is a fun start to this series. The main characters are initially stranded together, really allowing Cordelia and Aral to really set the foundation of interactions with each other and to really understand each others true character and moral compass. Without the distraction of others, they can...
