By Fyrefly Shards of Honor is sci-fi, but it’s character-driven sci-fi. The technology is not the point of the story; you could replace all of the ray guns with swords and the spaceships with boats, and the novel would work just as well as a medieval fantasy. That’s because it’s not about the spaceships...

By phoenixrampant There are some books that are just comfy. Their voices are beloved, and reading them is like talking to an old and dear friend. For one reason or another I found myself bombarded by life in general a few weeks ago, so I pulled out an old and dear friend called The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster B...

By dearJ Dear J-I refuse to be sucked into discussing work today; instead I’ll happily talk about catching up on some of Lois McMaster Bujold’s latest works.  After all, the Vorkosigan novels and stories are SO delicious that you could be forgiven for minor missteps like The Spirit Ring (it was oka...

By mervih When the mystery part starts, the plot starts to move much faster but the mystery isn’t the main thing in this book. The main thing is to face the consequences to you actions and growing up. This time Miles Vorkosigan is in deep trouble. After the events in the previous book, Mirror Dance,

By theferrett@theferrett.com I'm not sure where to start with this one. I think I'll begin with Ted Chiang, since he's the masterof the short story (or so I hear), but I have to figure out which books are the "classic" books by those authors; in most cases, I'll have only time to read one, so it has to be a good one. And I'm gonna b...

By mervih This time the stakes are really high. Mirror Dance is significantly darker in tone than the previous books and it has a lot of character growth and interaction. I think of Mirror Dance as the book where the Vorkosigan –series rose to a new height in quality. The previous book, Brothers in Arms,...

Comments. One Response to “REVIEW: Memory by Lois McMaster Bujold”. Mary Blayney on November 13th, 2008 5:18 pm. MEMORY is my favorite of the Vorkosigan books probably because it is one of the most thoughtful. (Though BARRYAR is a very ...

By Kate Elliott Lois McMaster Bujold, at her Denvention Guest of Honor speech, talks about science fiction and fantasy as “fantasies of political agency.”  She remarks that “Even the world-building itself is often a political argument.

By kentsplace I would call Diplomatic Immunity the final book in the Vorkosigan Saga, but it has been announced that Lois McMaster Bujold will be releasing a new Vorkosigan book in 2009 or 2010. I consider this a shame, as I believe that the ending ...

By mervih However, this is set only two years after “Cetaganda”. This means that at least some of the prisoners where already in the dome during the events of that book. Yet, the people of the Marilacan embassy didn’t seem bothered by having Cetaganda hold their soldiers in a POW camp. The third of the no...

By mervih This is quite exciting story full of twists and excellent characters. Miles is in full gear in his Admiral Naismith cover and it’s very good to see more of Bel whom I like quite a lot. At the same time the story also sets the stage for Mirror Dance and gives us another recurring character.

By mervih This time Miles and his cousin Ivan Vorpatril have been sent as the official envoys to the funeral of the Dowager Empress of Cetaganda. Cetaganda is a galactic empire which spans several planets and it’s also near Barrayar in the galactic way of measuring things. They tried very hard to inva...

By Lynda(noreply@blogger.com) I didn't think I was going to like Paladin of Souls at first. I remember having the same reaction to The Curse of Chalion, because it wasn't a Vorkosigan tale, but found I enjoyed it greatly by the time all the characters and conflicts were established. In the case of Paladin of Souls, I found th...
