A review by mary_soon_lee
The Physicians of Vilnoc by Lois McMaster Bujold
4.0
This is the eighth in a series of fantasy novellas about Penric and Desdemonda, Desdemona being a centuries-old demon and Penric being the young man in whom she is currently resident. I'm very fond of both Penric and Desdemona, and liked this novella greatly. That said, for anyone considering reading this during a pandemic (as I just did), be warned that it deals with a plague outbreak, which I found a bit discomfiting. 4 out of 5 witched stars.
Update: 7/13/2022. Re-read this. Still very good.
About my reviews: I try to review every book I read, including those that I don't end up enjoying. The reviews are not scholarly, but just indicate my reaction as a reader, reading being my addiction. I am miserly with 5-star reviews; 4 stars means I liked a book very much; 3 stars means I liked it; 2 stars means I didn't like it (though often the 2-star books are very popular with other readers and/or are by authors whose other work I've loved).
