onetrooluff 's review for:
The Curse of Chalion
by Lois McMaster Bujold
I'm not sure I'll be able to convey my love for this book emphatically enough, but here goes.
This book is a full-on meaty stew of a meal. Other authors might have milked this story for an entire trilogy (and here this is, just book 1), and yet it also works as a standalone. I will of course be continuing this series, but things are wrapped up in such a way that you don't have to.
I love Cazaril so, so much. I appreciate every one of his good qualities so much that it makes me happy whenever another character sees and appreciates them too.
Everyone gets to have agency in this story. Even those caught in a curse from the gods can choose whether to fight back, and they each do so in their own way. But at the same time, Caz also learns there is value in surrender.
I'm just gonna have to sit with this one for a while, much like The Goblin Emperor. My heart is so full.
