Status Updates From Cordelia's Honor (Vorkosiga...

"Don't be afraid. The dead cannot hurt you. They give you no pain, except that of seeing your own death in their faces."

"The really unforgivable acts are committed by calm men in beautiful green silk rooms, who deal death wholesale, by the shipload, without lust, or anger, or desire, or any redeeming emotion to excuse them but cold fear of some pretended future. But the crimes they hope to prevent in that future are imaginary. The ones they commit in the present, they are real."

Although I have read and very much loved Bujold’s fantasy works, I was hesitant to get into the Vorkosigan saga. I worried it would be the bad kind of old fashioned sci-fi, honestly, worried it would be as bad as the cover art. But this is fantastic so far and I’m sorry I dragged my feet!
