Thanks for finding this book! Won't you please make a journal entry and let its previous readers know how & where you found it? What do you think of it? What will you do with it when you're done?

This is now your book, and you may do as you please with it: keep it as long as you wish, share it with a friend, or leave it where someone else can find it!

Have you ever wondered where your books go after they leave your hands? Join BookCrossing and you'll be able to follow them as new readers make journal entries - sometimes from surprisingly far-flung locations.

BookCrossing: making the whole world a library!

Thank you for the unexpected gift! I think I've only read fantasy novels by Bujold, so I'll be curious to try her sci-fi.

Well, now I can say that I also enjoy Bujold's sci-fi! I galloped through this book, reading most of it in a single day. Smooth, swift pacing and engaging character interactions made it an excellent light read (with an occasional emotional wallop!)

It is a product of its time (mid '80's) and there are some tropes that have aged better than others. On the whole, I found it to have held up better than a lot of mass-market military sci-fi. I think the strength is how human Bujold's characters are, which allows them to feel convincing even when particular roles or tech trends butt up against your suspension of disbelief.

Added to the Feminism/Girl Power Bookbox. There aren't too many military sci-fi tales that are women-focused, so I figured it was worth including.

Arrived in the Feminism book box - returning to the box.

Received back in the Feminism / Girl Power Book Box #2.

I will find another place to release this book.

Released at the park. Please enjoy!
