mdavids 's review for:

Shards of Honor by Lois McMaster Bujold
3.0

I like to read SF as a break from crime, and a friend recommended Bujold's Vorkosigan Saga.

This is a great start. This is very character- and culture-focused; the technology aspect is pretty much an afterthought. The two main characters are great, and their budding cross-cultural romance is just a pleasure to read about.

Very well done, looking forward to the rest.
