Lois McMaster Bujold Fans discussion

So, do you have a favorite or favorites?
Is there someone you just can't stand?

If you do, why?

Ista is my favorite, definitely, in spite of my chiding her occasionally.
I have others that I like very much, Umegat, Liss, Foix, Prince Jokol, Halana, Lewko.
Then there are those I dislike for some reasons, while I admire them for the others, as the Dowager Provincara.
Then there are those who annoy me, as lady dy Hueltar, and the other priggish people.
The only person I really cannot stand is Dondo. Any other "bad person" has a touch of humanity even in their vileness, even Horseriver. But Dondo is pure, self centered psychopath. Gives me the creeps. Like Ges Vorrutyer did.

Ista is great, especially as "Paladin of Souls" develops... wow, does she come into her own. Which brings me to a person I really have trouble with - Cattilara. Sure, there are reasons for her being the way she is, but augh, just can't stand her.

Cattilara, the high-school cheerleader princess who has to always have it her own way?
And you really do not like her? *giggle*
I love the way Ista thinks about her - especially when these thoughts involve slapping of some sort. *double giggle*
How could I forget to give her a place in the list?
Although she could still not outweigh Dondo.
