Our reviews of Lois McMaster Bujold's work

The takes

What we have said about Lois McMaster Bujold

  • Lois McMaster Bujold's 2001 fantasy debut outside the Vorkosigan universe. A broken courtier in a Iberian-flavored fantasy kingdom, and a theology that actually works.

  • Lois McMaster Bujold's 1988 Nebula winner. The Quaddies and Leo Graf. The first book of what became one of the great SF series.

  • Bujold's 2003 Hugo and Nebula double. The middle Chalion book. A middle-aged widow becomes the unexpected vessel of a god. One of the great fantasy novels of its decade.

  • A Catherine Asaro-edited SF romance anthology with a Bujold Vorkosigan-universe novella at the center. Better than the form usually delivers.

  • Bujold's 1992 Italian Renaissance fantasy. Magic, metallurgy, and a heroine whose hands are her best weapon.

  • A collection of Lois McMaster Bujold's early shorter work, including the Vorkosigan-universe origin story. For completists.
