  1. 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!

  2. CW: Barrayar 70% Spoilers

    Madre del amor hermoso, estoy dentrísimo de esta mierda, en un 20% del libro se ha puesto la trama a tope con el golpe de estado, la huída, el reencuentro de Aral y Cordelia, la supuesta boda de Kareen y ahora lo de Miles!! Esta mierda me encanta

    The back of her trading card does mention she had a Klingon father and Human mother.

    Klingon/Human romance is a real potential fertile ground for fiction. Notably Lois McMaster Bujold's long and wonderful Vorkosigan series started as a bit of an idea about such a romance, which shows in the early part of Shards of Honor.

    Contrary to rumor it was apparently never written as a fanfic but the influence is still there.
