The Vorkosigan Saga: This morning, I finished off Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan Saga, a series I didn't expect to enjoy as much as I have. https://michaelhans.com/eclecticism/2025/06/07/the-vorkosigan-saga

Cryoburn by Lois McMaster Bujold: 📚 28/2025: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: More good Vorkosigan adventure as Miles heads off to investigate cryogenic companies and ends up in more trouble than he expected. https://michaelhans.com/eclecticism/2025/05/23/cryoburn-by-lois-mcmaster-bujold

The Flowers of Vashnoi by Lois McMaster Bujold: 📚 26/2025: ⭐️⭐️⭐️: A nice quick novella tying together several small threads from various points earlier in the series. https://michaelhans.com/eclecticism/2025/05/11/the-flowers-of-vashnoi-by-lois-mcmaster-bujold

Captain Vorpatril’s Alliance by Lois McMaster Bujold: 📚 23/2025: ⭐️⭐️⭐️: Another fun romp in the Vorkosigan saga, even if I don't find Ivan to be quite as strong a character as Miles. https://michaelhans.com/eclecticism/2025/05/04/captain-vorpatrils-alliance-by-lois-mcmaster-bujold

#WritersCoffeeClub 8: Happy International Women’s Day! What female author has inspired you the most?
Probably #LoisMcMasterBujold. Her writing has a simplicity and clarity that's easy to dismiss until you realize she's *that* good at characterization, plotting, pacing, worldbuilding, etc.
Although, "The Screwfly Solution" by Alice Sheldon (writing as James Tiptree Jr.) has stuck with me. A perfect (and perfectly chilling) short story.

A must-read novel series from a master writer.
All this IMHO, of course #LoisMcMasterBujold #SharingKnife #Novels -
3/4 in Memory is proving an emotionally deeper book than Diplomatic Immunity, but somewhat less entertaining so far.
I understand that Memory is probably meant to be more important for the development of Miles and yet...
Next stop in my back and forth hopping recovery of the books I missed in the Vorkosigan saga is Cryoburn.

@djwudi Agree with the assessment.
Not LM Bujold at the top of her writing but still a deeper novel than it may seem on the surface. It’s also one that represents her long running exploration of ethics around ability, disability and genetics.

Falling Free by Lois McMaster Bujold: 📚: ⭐️⭐️⭐️: Not quite as good as later Vorkosigan books, but also one of the earliest written, and still very enjoyable. …
