A review by glennisleblanc
Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen by Lois McMaster Bujold

5.0

This is the latest in the Vorkosigan series and spoils everything so do not start with this book if you haven’t read any of them before. I loved this book because the focus does come back on Cordelia, the reason why I started reading the books. Cordelia is going ahead with the rest of her life and stepping away from being Vicereine of Sergyar. The biggest part of that is deciding to have more children thanks to technology they will be Miles younger siblings but will have the Naismith name and be girls. The book is about starting new phases in life after death and finding love again. The irony is that the love was there before just that the reader didn’t know about it.
The main theme of the book living after the death of love and finding love again. I don’t want to give away the main revelations that happen in the book but I shed several happy tears as I read it and I think I’ll be doing a rereading of it in the near future.
