The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold
5.0

Gosh, I just love the stories Lois tells. (Although perhaps I love them a bit TOO much - I stayed up way too late last night finishing this book!)

I was introduced to Lois's writing via the Vorkosigan series, and tend to be more of a Sci-Fi than Fantasy person, but this book just grabbed me and didn't let go. Like all of her other books that I've loved, the story is strongly character-driven, centered around flawed but compelling characters whose motivations were understandable and drove the plot.
