Conjunctions

Science Fictional Romance can be a dangerous genre.  It is just as easy to get engrossed in as it is for a person struggling with obesity to loose themselves in a bowl of Ben&Jerry’s during an emotional breakdown.  Having just spend several days in the literary clutches of Miles Vorkosigan I do know what I am talking about.  I started with The Vor Game, and then when that was not enough I continued with Mirror Dance, Memory and then Komar.  I was contemplating starting with A Civil Campaign, but luckily had other appointments so the enchantment got broken for now.

Lois McMaster Bujold is an supreme storyteller, and her Miles is probably space opera’s most dashing dwarf. But take my advice and limit yourself to one novel at a time.  I honestly feel as if I have a hangover.
