A review by bowienerd_82
Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen by Lois McMaster Bujold

3.0

I went ahead and purchased the ARC e-book because I was so excited to get a new Cordelia book. And while this book did deliver lots of Cordelia (including her inner monologue when it came to Miles, which was priceless), I kept waiting for the book to deliver some sort of plot. This one reminded me a bit of [b:A Civil Campaign|61899|A Civil Campaign (Vorkosigan Saga, #12)|Lois McMaster Bujold|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1386924032s/61899.jpg|1093445] in terms of being more about characters and interpersonal relationships, but it had even less going on.

I was still glad to have more details about Sergyar, and more about what Cordelia has been up to, but this wasn't the book I was expecting or hoping for.
