I just finished a really wonderful Audiobook: The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold. I enjoyed the heck out of this book. It even had a happy ending that was both plausible and enjoyable. It was also appropriately feminist, which also made me really happy.
Any other LMB readers out there that can recommend me a good jumping-in place for her other books? I hear the Miles Vorkosian books are good, but that they jump around in history. Where's the best place to start? Do they measure up to the Chalion books?
