Book: Memory
May. 27th, 2009 04:32 pmAuthor: Lois McMaster Bujold
Details: (c) 1996 Lois McMaster Bujold; Pub Baen Books 2001; ISBN 0-671-87845-X
Verdict: Memory is heartbreaking and very satisfying.
Reasons for reading it: It's in the adored Miles Vorkosigan series, need I say more? Besides, when I reviewed Mirror dance, everybody kept telling me how wonderful it is.
How it came into my hands: My wonderful Beau lent it to me just in time before I exploded of anticipation.
( detailed review )
I really can't say whether this or Mirror Dance is the stronger book. I think I'd probably take Memory to the proverbial desert island, if I had to choose, just because it picks up so many echoes from the rest of the series and has such a great payoff. I think my favourite is still the short story collection Borders of Infinity, but only by a hair.
