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

3.0

For a Vorkosigan saga novel, this was a disappointment. There was really no dramatic tension at all. It was obvious how the book would end. And unlike the other novels, where there is a serious life-threatening problem of intergalactic proportions, this was entirely domestic, and not terribly interesting. I did like the book. I read it to the end, and enjoyed it. But it did not meet the standard I've come to expect from Bujold.
