The Assassins of Thasalon by Lois McMaster Bujold
5.0
What can I say that hasn't already been said? I really enjoyed the journey- reading all 10 stories in a row. Its a real treat to be able to do that instead of waiting for each next book!
Its old home week with Pen. Another interesting adventure/mystery with a side of theology. We get to see people from previous books join in the story as well as a few new ones. Pen always seems to generate a few new friends, it seems most are reluctant :)
Its bittersweet for Tanar, Adelis and Borsha but at least Adelis isn't such a prick anymore. I hope the series continues but I do feel like Lois has given us a great epilogue (just in case it is over). I loved the interaction between him and Nikys and am glad for the new little one. I love that Pen keeps checking the health of his loved ones constantly- his hard fought for treasures.
Curious, how little talk there is of "love", in this entire series. I don't think Pen mentioned he loved Nikys at all, even at the half-assed proposal. I assume it is spoken of but maybe not in this world of betrothals and arranged marriages. I loved all these stories but I think the one with Mira was my favorite- so funny!
