4.0 out of 5 stars
Recommended for Hard-Core LMB Fans Only,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dreamweaver's Dilemma (Paperback)
Lois McMaster Bujold has a deservedly large following for her award-winning fiction, including "The Mountains of Mourning" novella in this collection. However, most of the short stories printed in this book have the unique ideas LMB fans expect from her fiction but are lacking the polish more recent books exhibit. Whatever this aggregate lacks in technical skill, it delivers entertainment with a quirky wit and a wide range of world building that readers of only the "Vorkosigan" universe would miss.</P> As a avid reader of LMB, I enjoy having this book in my collection but do not use it for "prosethelitizing" since I believe it suitable mostly for the LMB "fanatic". Would that I had spent this little ($12) for my copy! ;)

A Bunch of Little Bujolds,
This review is from: Dreamweaver's Dilemma (Paperback)
Bujold doesn't do much short-format stuff, so if you like something under novel length and you have any taste at all--meaning you love Bujold--you need to pick up this book. If you're a Miles Vorkosigan fan--and we already posited your good taste--the book is essential. Strictly speaking, there's only one Vorkosigan story--"The Mountains of Mourning"--and you'll have that anyway in another Miles Vorkosigan collection, but there's invaluable material by Bujold on the writing of the early Vorkosigans, and some supplemental material--charts of the Wormhole Nexus, timelines, geneologies and such. That's not all by Bujold, but it is all intersting and helpful. Warning: this book is NOT the place to start. If you're not familiar with the estimable--and hyperactive--Miles Naismith Vorkosigan, buy the book anyway, but read the early Vorkosigans--SHARDS OF HONOR and WARRIOR'S APPRENTICE at least--before you read this one.

Collectors must,
By LaughingLion "I am Lion, read me review!" (North of Boston) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dreamweaver's Dilemma (Paperback)
This book is for the Bujold fanatic, and those who like short fiction. Interesting as the stories are, i think the essays by Lois are the best part.
