Beautiful story - beautiful characters

Revisado: 03-31-23

I just love this story. Ista is a great heroine - getting to follow a woman who has lost her sense of purpose and sense of self, distrusting her value and worth and abilities, and getting to watch her discover ( for the first time) passion, meaning, and self- assurance - is very empowering. Watching her true self grate against the perceptions others have of her is an exciting and freeing celebration of personal renaissance . A beautiful thing to experience - and inspiring. Great VO artist!!

Fantastic story - beautifully written.

Revisado: 03-26-23

This book is now one of my all time favorites. It took me until hour 3 to be fully onboard, but the layers and characters and blended descriptions of human experiences and God-touched experiences ( as well as the ongoing questions of free will in a world where the Gods find action through people) are superbly beautiful. As with all of her books, I found myself welling up at the beauty and fullness of the words coming into my heart from such a fantastic writer. Imperfect people, imperfect heroes, and heroes all the same. Lois Mcmaster Bujold is just an absolute gift unto our world, and her writings bring me joy after joy each time I listen to, or read them. Very grateful for this story, as well as all of her others works. I will say, I missed Grover Gardner as the reader, but understood that a different tone might be useful for this book. VO performance? —-After hour 3 I would say it improves and the pacing is a bit better - the accidental wrong voices for characters throughout were a bit of a shame, but forgivable/ easy to forget as the writing was so good. However, the pacing at the beginning was a struggle. I think it was the breathing in the middle of sentences and thoughts that threw off me off the most, and as much as I’d grown to accept the reader’s choices for characters, those strange breaks in the middle of phrases or ideas, or fumbling over lines, could have been improved. Basically, I spent the first part of the book moaning about the reader, and then accepted my fate and possibly experienced stockholm syndrome to stick with the story that I so loved. In sum: I’d say while I loved certain character voice choices, I’d hope for smoother reading in future books. Stuck between a 2 or 3 star for performance because there were times when it really flowed.

Brilliant story - wonderful reader

Revisado: 03-19-23

I am a huge fan of the penric and des stories, and of Lois Mcmaster Bujold’s writings in general. The voice over artist, Grover Gardner, is SO good - I never have to stop and try and understand what sense is in the writing - it flows so well. Grover is my favorite Audio book narrator, and anytime I listen to Lois’s books without him I feel that little bit is missing, and a little bit sadder for it. 10 stars for this beautiful book - coming out as an audiobook during 2020 as well. A beautiful nod to our medical heroes.

So much love for Penric and his Demon

Revisado: 02-04-23

Lois Mcmaster Bujold is a phenomenal crafter of beautiful relationships - of characters who think not solely of themselves, but of those with whom they share their lives. I highly recommend this book as well as all of the Vorkosigan saga.

What a beginning!

I just love Lois Mcmaster Bujold. Miles books will always be my favorite, and the sharing knife series, too, but I enjoyed the complexity here.

I just love this series. Getting to reunite with Barr and feel and learn alongside lakewalkers and farmers as they grow and change over time is a gift. This series has come to be a full favorite of mine, and holds a special place in my heart.
