This is probably my favorite of the Penric novellas thus far. It was very enjoyable to see aspects of this fantastic fantasy world her fleshed out in new and fascinating ways. Bujold is always impressive in her ability to create characters that are compelling that you care about, and her dialogue is some of the best in the business.

I like it because it has a fox.
And, you know, everyone else I like.

Another little adventure murder mystery for Pen and Des. I like how unique these stories are even if we end up in theological discussions about a fictional world :)
This one includes Pens new friends/colleagues and centers around a sorcerer who has been murdered and the disappearance of the demon. And all the things an investigator has to take into account in trying to solve the puzzle. It ends well, I like all the dry humor, from the princess to Des, and we get hints that there are some love interests happening. Fun!
Pen is a great character, humble, funny and self-deprecating.
