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

5.0

(review of the eARC) Something about how bujold writes relationships fills my heart with warmth and my face with grins. This book lacks the cast-of-millions regency romcom part that makes civil campaign so great, and the sudden genre switch to caper that made captain vorpatril's alliance so fun, but stripped of those trimmings and you're left with a quiet book about people finding delight in each other. An absolute joy, in other words.
