In the WoFG Universe, you have shown characters who are the saints of the Father, Mother, Daughter, and Bastard. Is there such a thing as a saint of the Son? If so, what are their powers and function?
Lois McMaster Bujold
Good question, which I would probably need a book to stop and work out. Although Inglis, if not a saint, certainly earned his god's attention at the end of "Penric and the Shaman". He also had a cameo in The Hallowed Hunt.
But yes, there should be saints of the son; His turf being comradeship, the hunt, autumn harvest, there should be room to speculate.
"Guardian of young males" tends to be a pretty thankless task, but someone's got to do it. Five gods know they need it. Also a good question where, aside from biological fatherhood, the two gods would have their hand-off of allegiance.

I just read in Jo Walton's review of Falling Free that it was originally going to be the first volume of a trilogy. If this is true, would you care to comment on why that didn't happen, and what you had planned for the rest of the trilogy? This is not a plea for "more of the same", just a curiousity about what might have been. I've been a fan since the 80s and have been pretty happy about reading whatever write

Hello! I wanted to thank you first, you are one of my favourite authors. I discovered that I have trouble introducing miles to new readers. Cordelia's Honor works with women, but they want a Cordelia book after. Warriors Apprentice- a friend said, fun read, but she did not crave for the next book. it really had me thinking. Maybe Memory is a good start for readers who shy away from space opera?
