I have started a re-read of the #Vorkosigan saga this summer.
Started with "Shards of Honor" and currently in the middle of "Barrayar".
And I wonder (as I did when "Games of Thrones" started) that noone has picked this series up for a TV series...?
There wouldn't be an argument about the final season since the series currently does not end but each book sort of concludes its own story arch (but some of them sort of hang together) #bujold #loismcmasterbujold
I uploaded two reviews today, one an update for a graphic novel, the other the fourth book in Bujold's Sharing Knife series. Both are recommended.

Having a re-read of the Vorkosigan Saga. I've had to buy four of them. They're rather more expensive than my usual ebooks. The quality shows: properly edited and proof-read, which of course adds to the cost.
I love the sprinkling of etymology with which Lois McMaster #Bujold draws attention to certain concepts.
Also going fangirly over Miles Vorkosigan.
Plus there's this moment π
Continuing the Vorkosigan reread:
In "The Vor Game" Miles' genius is blended with more awareness of the stakes - more humility - and I find him much more appealing.
The part where he and Gregor are playing off each other to manipulate the crazy mercenary had me jumping up and down with excitement! So good π
Pretty much everything Miles achieves through this book is through him talking and putting himself at risk, and it's thrilling throughout.
