One of the nations currently possesses the emerald, while the other is hiring the thieves. Paid a salary, plus the promise of a large reward, Dortmunder begins to […]

Winterfair Gifts – 3/5 Stars This is a reread from a few years ago when I read all of the Miles Vorkosigan books by Lois McMaster Bujold. I also started rereading them last year and got through about half before I stopped short, but I bet this will get me started started again. This book also starts out or sets of to tell the story through an alternate perspective from the other books. So far we’ve had Miles being the lead protagonist in the most […]

I am not going to review of the books of the series for separate and specific ratings. Instead, I will give the whole series a rating (five stars for all kinds of reasons) which is not to say they’re all of equal quality or all great or any of them perfect. But because of their influence, their precision, their quality, and my own specific sentimental value…well, I just can’t do otherwise. The other thing is: I am not a Christian and I used to be. […]
