A review by klreeher
Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen by Lois McMaster Bujold
5.0
This was DELIGHTFUL.
I read the eARC.
I kept expecting an overaching action plot to happen, and it, uh, never really did, but the story never suffered for it. :) The story is very much-- what do you do AFTER the action settles down, which is a thing I love in my books. It was also one of my favorite types of sci-fi, which is, let's take changes in science/tech/setting and look at the reverberations in every day life/culture/etc, although that wasn't the biggest focus in the book.
Overall, delightful, and also a really nice cap to a series and characters and a setting that I've loved.
