Lots of adventure that\u2019s somehow both ridiculously improbable and entirely believable within the story, and characters that feel much more real than in many other books. There\u2019s an underlying humor throughout, but also manages to handle resolving one troubled character\u2019s fate in a way that respects their past and the present they had built. I\u2019m increasingly glad my Hugo reading project started me reading these books.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/lmb-twa-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Me holding The Warrior&#39;s Apprentice\" title=\"lmb-twa.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"2016\" height=\"1512\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This series continues to surprise and satisfy me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2036,2049],"tags":[5779,5780],"class_list":["post-49963","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-books","category-photos","tag-lois-mcmaster-bujold","tag-vorkosigan-saga"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49963","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49963"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49963\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49963"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
