Shards of Honor is Bujold's first novel, and I think it shows. Her later works are stronger in every particular. I wouldn't have been very impressed had this been the first work of hers I'd ever read. Which is not to say this book is bad--I found it entertaining throughout, and I went on to read eve...
Shards of Honour (Vorkosigan Saga, #1) by Lois McMaster Bujold Cordelia Naismith, Beta Colony, is on a standard surveying expedition when she returns to camp to find the camp ransacked, one of her crew dead, and the savage Barrayarans after her and her men. When she is captured by Aral Vorkosigan, s...
I first read it in 1996 when I was still quite in love with the SF-genre (I still am, but the parameters now are quite different...). Just to state that I have a history with SF dating back to the 80's. Why did I started reading SF? I don’t really know. I was always fascinated by everything science-...
Following the resounding success of my Locus Quest, I faced a dilemma: which reading list to follow it up with? Variety is the spice of life, so I’ve decided to diversify and pursue six different lists simultaneously. This book falls into my FINISHING THE SERIES! list.I loves me a good series! But I...
Why didn't I discover this sooner? It was a book with strong and interesting characters,sometimes the story was so intense, I simply couldn't stop listening or thinking about it after stopping! And this book had been the author 's first novel can't wait to read more of her books.

Lord Aral Vorkosigan is the leader of a secret military mission from the warlike planet Barrayar. the title "Shards of Honor" no doubt refers to the small bits of honor that Aral must cling to as he finds...
I actually read this series years ago, but I'm rereading it, and thoroughly enjoying it. I'm wavering between a 4 and a 5, but I'm going to go high, because I think the good parts of this book outweigh the downside. And the the only downsides are: who is who of all the Vor* Barrayans has me thorough...
Cordelia Naismith, scientist-soldier and all-around amazing lady. She’s got red hair and she can use a (stunner)gun, but she’s not Action Woman. She’s not fiesty– okay, no, that’s wrong. She IS fiesty, but not in that superficial way that modern female characters are expected to be fiesty. And she C...
Military space political adventure plus science fiction romance. The detailed world-building and politics, the manoeuvring behind manoeuvres, is typical Bujold, but the story is primarily about the romance between Aral Vorkosigan and Cordelia Naismith.This style of romance is one of my absolute fav...
