A review by jamestomasino
The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold

5.0

I loved it. How's that for a review?

Ok, a few other notes. To those who will try to read it, don't go in expecting some classic high fantasy. This book has no dragons or epic quests, well at least not of the typical hero journey variety. It has been compared to Jane Austin and quite aptly. This is a story about people, about courts, about relationships, blood, titles, hopes and survival. The characters all have a wonderful firmness to them. One might say--if I venture an inside joke for those who have read it--they are all made of matter.

Read it and enjoy the smile it leaves you in the end.
