More Vorkosigan: "The Shards of Honor" and "Barrayar"

[threerings]

Yeah, I've built up a backlog of these.  I suck.

I went back for the Cordelia books.

I don't know, I don't really go in for love at first site as a rule

If it helps, Cordelia has an explanation later on for why Aral falls so hard and fast. Ahh, Betan psychology.

I'm really sorry for the darkness of Shards of Honor. There's a lot in there that's necessary as setup but god it's hard to read.

I think fandom has a list of the Rules somewhere.

I find the concept of uterine replicators fascinating. I think I'd try it. I liked being pregnant, mostly. But it was a bit outweighed by the sheer hell of recovering from a Caesarian. Maybe. Aigh. I don't even know.

In conclusion, OH DEAR GOD CORDELIA IS AMAZING. Can't look at shopping bags the same way again ever and I adore it. And. Just. She's wonderful. One of my favorite characters of all time, ever. Badass and brilliant and empathic and cutting through all the bullshit and, just, love.
