Rated 5 starsFrabulous Joy for Bujold and the Vorkosigan Series!
Bujold does it again, absoluotly priceless. Haveing read Warrior's Apprentice when first published I have to say that Bujold is one of three authors I would reccomend as must read SF. (Harry Harrison's Stailess Steel Rat series and C J Cherryh's Company , Chanur, and Foriegner series are the others). I loved Warrior's Apprentice.
