8/5/08 Up until now I thought I *loved* everything Lois McMaster Bujold has written (well, there was Spirit Ring that didn't fall into that category), but I didn't love this. But being a completist, I'm glad I read it and own it. I liked some of the essays about how she came to write, or why readers should read speculative fiction. I enjoyed reading 'Mountains of Mourning' again, but no surprise there.
Of interest to Bujold completists. Five short stories of which one is "Mountains of Mourning" - always worth reading but also found in THE VOR GAME. A couple essays about writing which give you a little insight into her and some biographical info.
