Publishing news! and a book report (brief)

[jmc_bks]

There will be another Miles Vorkosigan book! Check out this link, courtesy of outtamyskull in the LJ lmbujold community. No info about release date or potential plot, but still! I thought the series was over. The books weren't originally written in chronological order, so LMB could go back and fill in a gap from Miles' Dendarii Mercenary days, or pick up where she left of in Diplomatic Immunity.

Lessee, other book news: finished Kate Rothwell's Somebody to Love, which I really enjoyed. Liked the hero, liked the heroine, liked the setting. For an articulate review, check out Bam's review. I'm going looking for a copy of her other mmp now.

Glad you liked Somebody to Love. I enjoyed that one, too, as well as Kate's first book. Interesting discussion after Bam's review.

I read the first Miles Vorkosigan book, Shards of Honor, and enjoyed it. I gather the others are worth reading, too?

Hi, Doug.

The other Miles Vorkosigan books are worth reading, IMO. My favorite is probably Memory, which is a about 2/3 of the way through the series chronologically. And the last full book, Diplomatic Immunity is the weakest of the series.

And since I plug Bujold's other series any chance I get, if you like fantasy, you may want to check out The Curse of Chalion.

That's good news about the Miles book! I didn't know she didn't write them in order. That's pretty unusual. And difficult too for the writer I would imagine, keeping everything straight without messing up the plotting of later books.
