A review by tonka_blue
Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen by Lois McMaster Bujold
5.0
This is a book that doesn't have such as adventures/political schemes or something in-between as Bujold's previous books have had and as such it might not be for everyone. However, this is brilliant and it's one of Bujold's masterpieces.
Many writers are more than capable writing adventures and twists, but Bujold wrote a story about new start of already known character aka Cordelia Vorkosigan after her husband's death. And it was beautiful.
The characters, some old and some new, were realistic, humane and easily relatable. It was so comfortable to learn about all the changes that happened without having them shoved to your throat, and learning new things about the characters was not only realistic but it had shed a new light on events/characters from previous books. Humour and common sense were more than present. :)
