This collection of five early stories is something of a mixed bag. The first three stories are rough: they're the work of a young writer finding her feet. In the next two, the author hits her stride and gives her reader stories we wish would last a little longer, simply because we like the characters.
This is the second of Bujold's books that I've read, and I like her. I look forward to reading more of her work.

Early short stories by Lois McMaster Bujold, who is always good.
This was fun -- short, but I enjoyed the small taste of LMB's writing.

Great humour! Super fun read of LMB’s early shorts.

I started with “Dreamweaver’s Dilemma”, but as it does not have a standalone edition I read the whole collection.
The DD I would rank three-and-half stars, the first three stories are between three and three-and-half. But the whole collection is elevated by the last one – “Aftermaths” – which is a five stars story. But more about it when I get to the Shrads of Honour.
