For a long time, I was mourning the lack of Cissie King-Jones in the series; I think she was intended to be in there at the beginning, but they went with Artemis instead.

I'm honestly of two minds about this: on one side, I get more time to study for Business; on the other, I like my classes and I'd like my Christmas break to actually be a break rather than a week off before hastily trying to catch up ( Read more... )

The Advance Readers' Copy of Bujold's 'Cryoburn' is available here. All I'm going to say after finishing it is that I adore Roic more and more, and Mark remains wonderfully snarky.
