Review: Shards of Honour

Shards of Honour by Lois McMaster Bujold
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Shards of Honour is the first book in the Vorkosigan Saga by Lois McMaster Bujold.  I was recommended this series as something I might like based on many of the other authors I read.  Should you start here?  That's up to you.  The series is not necessarily written in read order.  Lots of people suggest starting with The Warrior's Apprentice instead and coming back to this later as a sort of a prequel to that.  The author actually includes a whole section on the recommended reading order.  You may want to do some research on your own before you decide where to start.  Wherever you start, the writing is great.  I can see why this was recommended to me.  The characters are interesting and engaging.  This book has a bit of romance, whereas other books in the series are more adventure-focused.  I'm looking forward to reading more.
