More Penric!
I am attempting not to create a list of words that Bujold relies on quite a bit in her writing, much as I am tempted to call out the twitching of lips.
It's also fascinating to see recurring character themes in her work. Women getting second chances after their first marriages is a really interesting one. (Well, women and Aral.) And the question of what does it look like to rise the occasion that life demands of you.
I'm wondering what other dangling plot points still exist in this narrative to wrap up. I think this is everything we've started with Adelis and Nykis...
What do you do with your agents of chaos when they've run out of chaos to cause?
