A Civil Campaign is the third Lois McMaster Bujold book I've read. Borders of Infinity I tore through in a weekend and wanted more. Falling Free was good for its word building but a little weak on plot. A Civil Campaign has made me glad I haven't gone on a buying spree to collect all of her books.

One of my all-time favs. The dinner scene with the butterbugs makes me laugh every time. A book that's good for many re-readings.

I had a tremendous amount of fun reading this book. It brings a whole bunch of characters from the previous books together and then sets them loose. Wacky hijinks ensue. (For example, the dinner party from Hell. I almost died!) I think that for me, this book is destined to be one of those books that you dig out when you've had a rotten day and need something to cheer you up. Definitely five stars as far as I'm concerned.

Bujold is the queen of SF romance. This book is, in turn, the funniest thing I had read in a year, a desperate and touching romance, and a fascinating look at politics from the inside. Read all the Vorkosigan books, in order...but make sure you get to this one.
