Almost every single book a 5I have enjoyed Pens adventures。 I would not want to be him as the Gods always have something they need done。

I love Penric！ We get more of the same great plot and characterization as previous stories， but in a longer tale。 We also get an update on all the people we met from Penric's Travels。 I love Penric！ We get more of the same great plot and characterization as previous stories， but in a longer tale。 We also get an update on all the people we met from Penric's Travels。 。。。more

The whole reason I bother to write goodreads reviews is to help other people figure out if they might like a book or not。 Which makes it hard write one here because if you are already a Penric and Desdemona fan， the way you know you'll like this book is that it exists。 It's a novel-length Penric story， doing everything a Penric story does well but intensified thanks to the higher stakes。 If you are not already a fan， there's enough exposition that you probably could start here， but why bother？ I The whole reason I bother to write goodreads reviews is to help other people figure out if they might like a book or not。 Which makes it hard write one here because if you are already a Penric and Desdemona fan， the way you know you'll like this book is that it exists。 It's a novel-length Penric story， doing everything a Penric story does well but intensified thanks to the higher stakes。 If you are not already a fan， there's enough exposition that you probably could start here， but why bother？ If you have even a little bit of interest in a fantasy series with great characterization and a lot of thought put into how and why cultures work the way they do， start at the beginning and you won't be sorry。 So instead I will say that if I have any complaint at all， it's that a series featuring the patron god of gay people doesn't have many important gay characters。 So my headcanon is that every single maybe-implied throuple of the series is definitely an extremely gay throuple。 This is maybe also the lesson I've taken from Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen: every potential Bujold throuple is canon。 Obviously， this means that however much Adelis resists it at first， he and Boscha are definitely going to end up in bed together。 。。。more

This is an absolutely prime trip to the World of the Five Gods。 Familiar companions return， new ones appear， and as usual， it’s an exciting， amusing book with profound moments。

Book 10 of the Penric and Desdemona series is a delightful entry with many references and characters from previous books in the series。 It has been a while since I read the early books in the series but this is quite possibly my favorite book of the series。 While I enjoyed the previous three books they felt more like short side stories to me and this one feels much more satisfying。 I am once again struck by the amazing world Bujold has crafted with its sorcerers， saints， and gods。In my opinio Book 10 of the Penric and Desdemona series is a delightful entry with many references and characters from previous books in the series。 It has been a while since I read the early books in the series but this is quite possibly my favorite book of the series。 While I enjoyed the previous three books they felt more like short side stories to me and this one feels much more satisfying。 I am once again struck by the amazing world Bujold has crafted with its sorcerers， saints， and gods。In my opinion anyone who is a fan of The Curse of Chalion should check out this series。 。。。more

BujoldI mean， we’re talking about a master craftswoman in the art of writing。Easily read as a stand-alone novel， though you miss all of the deeper references of the earlier stories。 Intrigue and mystery drive the plot。 Strong characters and tightly woven storylines keep everything moving quite well。I buy everything she releases。

3 1/2*。 Could do with paring back in places。 I love the Bastard and his various saints。

Always delighted to read another Penric and Desdemona story， this time a full-length novel！ Plot threads started in Penric's Mission come to a head and the world of the five gods continues to broaden and deepen as we meet new characters and remeet others。 One of my fave parts is when Penric's brother-in-law twits him about the events of The Orphans of Raspay。。。 *happy sigh* Always delighted to read another Penric and Desdemona story， this time a full-length novel！ Plot threads started in Penric's Mission come to a head and the world of the five gods continues to broaden and deepen as we meet new characters and remeet others。 One of my fave parts is when Penric's brother-in-law twits him about the events of The Orphans of Raspay。。。 *happy sigh* 。。。more
