Hello. I have created over a dozen reading-order flowcharts for various large and popular SF series. Here is one that I created for the Vorkosigan series. It is complete, as of today (March 2, 2021), but I am hoping it will not remain so for very long. I hope you all like it. Regards, Mike

The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold By way of introductory remarks, I'd like to provide a dictionary definition (Cambridge English for those who care) that should give some pointer as to where my mind is going with this review. Perfect (adj): Complete and correct in every way, of the...

The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold

Latest in the Penric and Desdemona series of novellas set in the world of the five gods - The Orphans of Raspay - already galloped through it, well up to standard.

I've started reading Lois McMaster Bujold's Miles Vorkosigan series, but apparently the publication order and chronological order are different - so I'll list the reading order of the main novels below: 1. Shards of Honor (1986) 2. Barrayar (1991) 3. The Warrior's Apprentice (1986) 4. The Vor...

What it says in the title. It's a sequel to the excellent and hilarious Myra's Last Dance. Love this series.

Now we’ve got the romance stuff behind us this series has, at least for non-romance lovers such as myself, definitely improved. It’s also interesting to see how it has morphed from distinctly military biased SF to SF mystery thrillers, and quite successfully so. In fact I’d go so far as to say...

Miles Vorkosigan seems to be the key character in Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan series, so I'd like to read the novels that feature him. However, the first few books, Falling Free, Shards of Honour, and Barrayar, don't appear to feature him as a main character - he only seems to come up in...

Well I was warned so I can’t really complain. A Civil Campaign is first and foremost a Romance and only a distant second a Science Fiction book. It is a romance with some (slight) plot rather than a plot with some romance, and I am sadly not too keen on such sugary romance (it is too much like...

This is probably my favourite book so far in the Vorkosigan series; my major complaint with Bujold’s writing up to this point – her often dreadful lack of plausibility – is largely absent in this book as is, somewhat surprisingly, virtually any significant action. I would normally classify...
