This book is doing an extraordinary amount even by 2020 standards and I’m very impressed it’s over 30 years old.
It’s…kind of Jane Eyre and interested in disability in a way that I, for obvious reasons, find to be super interesting and it’s for sure not perfect, but it’s honestly one of the best I’ve seen in romance even when it’s trying.
Also I read it straight through one night when I had horrible insomnia so I’m not sure what it’s like when you are not silently having a lot of feelings at the characters.
Anyway, shoutout to the My Word as Vorkosigan discord for recommending this one; I’m not entirely sure I can explain why this book works for Bujold fans (especially of her fantasy work), but I absolutely agree.
