Passage :-)
Arrived today from Amazon: The Sharing Knife: Passage, the third Lois McMasters Bujold book (of four) in the Sharing Knife world.
For those of you are already Bujold readers: in my opinion, she is getting better at this new universe. I enjoyed the first two TSK books, but Passage has, in my opinion, more of her unique "voice" than the first two; it's more recognizably Bujold.
For those of you who are not Bujold readers: why not??? Go read some. Start with Cordelia's Honor, or Young Miles, or Curse of Chalion or The Sharing Knife: Beguilement, all of which are available from Amazon. Don't get them just before an exam or major project or something, though; it's extremely difficult to put down a Bujold once you start :-).
More on Passage another day, when I'm not balancing some work that came home with me and listening to primary returns and getting to bed early. And reading Passage.
