suzemo

I love Bujold's work, I really do, and I was extremely disappointed in this book. I think the worst part of it is an unrealistic, but more importantly - uninteresting, romance between the two bad main characters. The female main character is uninteresting and boring, I want to find the male main character interesting but he falls terribly flat as well.

In this novel, Bujold establishes an interesting world with a lot of background potential, and it's a shame that the story she chose to tell in this interesting world is just plain bad.
