This “gift story,” coming many years after Bujold had wrapped up her Sharing Knife series, has actually become my favorite of them all. Barr, the heedless, self-centered teen of the main series, has become a mature adult when some consequences of his teen escapades catch up with him. What follows is a touching tale of families and of what makes a parent truly a parent, as well as the introduction of cantankerous, underappreciated Lily—a wonderful depiction of a teen starting to find her feet.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Injury/Injury detail
Minor: Sexual assault
Barr’s “beguilement” of Bluebell was essentially a date rape drug. Marked “minor” only because there’s no description.
