@larsmagne23 Love the #Vorkosigan series to bits. I'm actually doing a chronological re-read right now.

I have finished #shardsOfHonor and #barrayar but I got sidetracked by a @MichaelWhelan cover story and am now reading Joan D. Vinge's Tangled in Blue and will be finishing that before I return to young Miles

Lois McMaster Bujold is one of my favourite authors. I recently reread "Shards of Honor" (her debut) and its sequel (continuation?) "Barrayar".

Such excellent sci-fi, with a mature, competent, female protagonist; painful ethical decisions; vivid characterisation; beautiful romance. Situations where doing the right thing is almost impossibly hard, and you have characters who rise to that.

Read it if you get the chance!

2023 Book 2: Shards of Honor by Lois McMaster Bujold (f 11/1). Decided to re-read this as its sequel Barrayar (which starts just a few days after this book ends) is on my Hugo/ Nebula reading list. I felt that it had greater depth and resonance than when I first read it, but I can’t say whether that’s because I’m looking back after reading the whole series, or because I’m older than I was when I first read it (at least 15 years ago, if not more 😯) #Vorkosigan #LoisMcMasterBujold #ShardsOfHonor
