A review by jamiedhutch
Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen by Lois McMaster Bujold
3.0
Ok. Well I have two issues with this book. The first one is a little less insurmountable, I think, and it's the squick factor that was added to one of my favorite book romances ever. Like, ok, love conquers all and stuff, but was that really necessary? Really?
The other issue I have with it is that it's not terribly... plot-heavy. There's not a lot... going on. Ugh, it's kinda boring, guys. Like, almost Austen-esque in that you read like a hundred pages, just to realize nothing really happened.
A fairly painless read, but not a terribly riveting one.
Probably my least favorite LMB to date. :/
All that being said, when I reread it (which I will do at some point), I'll probably realize it wasn't THAT bad.
