eve_prime's review against another edition
informative
Interesting analysis of the major themes in Bujold's work, focusing mostly on the science fiction (her Vorkosigan books) because it was written as part of a series on science fiction.

It's a jolly good and fairly short read, looking at Bujold's sf and fantasy work (arguing in passing that the Sharing Knife books are really sf rather than fantasy), and also looking at her treatment of culture, characterisation, disability / genetic modification, women / sexuality and war, leadership, and honor. It's a text in dialogue with a lot of other work, including The Vorkosigan Companion, A Reader's Companion to A Civil Campaign, Jo Walton and the author herself. It's always nice when an author you like writes a book you like about a subject you like.

I have no idea how this book would go over for someone who is not a total fan girl, but I really enjoyed it!
Although there are some chapters that definitely need to be updated now that gentleman Jole is out.
