This spring and summer, I reread the entire Vorkosigan Saga by Lois McMaster Bujold, for the first time in a while. But this time, I did it backwards...
First video back, just sharing some thoughts about the series and
It's good to see you back on BookTube and talking about one of my favourite series. I agree with pretty much all of your comments. You've made me sort of want to do a reread and I already have too much I need to read 😂
Thanks! Haha I'm sure it doesn't compare in wordcount to a Wheel of Time read or anything, but the 16 books + novellas definitely felt like a big undertaking.
I’ve done the “read the whole series backwards” thing.
Really good to see you. I have only read Shards of Honor and you have made me want to read the whole series.
Thanks! If you liked Shards of Honor I think it (mostly) only gets better from there.
You're back! That's a good thing.
It is amazing how much we agree on the series, so I will just nit-pick a bit. Labyrinth was my introduction to the Saga, and it is still my favorite of the novellas. It was contained in an issue of Argosy that was left behind in a hotel room. Diplomatic Immunity, Cryoburn, and Gentlemen Jole are the books that I have only read once. The rest I have read six or more times. Since I read Bujold with pencil in hand, I sometimes leaf through the books to re-read marked passages. Other than Shakespeare, Bujold's books are the only fiction that I do that to.
Don't forget to wear that off-the-shoulder top from time-to-time. : -) I am sure that your husband will approve.
