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

3.0

This should definitely be the last one in the series you read. You are able to skip around the Vorkosigan saga a bit as long as you read a few of them in order, but half the references and motivations in this book will go over your head if you aren’t familiar with all the rest. It’s not an action packed adventure like the rest of the series, but a finale to Cordelia’s story. She is grappling with how to move on with her life after the changes in Cryoburn, and with the reaction from the backwards Barrayar society. It’s not the best book in the series by a long shot but it wasn’t my least favorite either. It’s definitely in the bottom three though.
