Book Review: Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen
By Lois McMaster Bujold
Everybody has it wrong way round. Parents don’t make children—children make parents. They shape our behavior from the first wail. Mold us into what they need. It can be a pretty rough process, too.
I tend to get the impression that this is one of the less liked novels in the Vorkosigan Saga, which has always seemed a shame to me. There just seems to be something so right about ending the saga where it started: Cordelia, on Sergyar, thinking about love and family.
