Lately I've been flying through Lois McMaster Bujold's Penric & Desdemona series, currently on Book 11, The Assassins of Thasalon. These are cozy and short, but definitely enjoyable.
Lois is my all-time favorite author on the strength of Curse of Chalion, but I bounced off the Penric & Desdemona series with Book 10. The way it started with a plague felt Too Soon after COVID.
Hmm. I should try reading it again. I loved the series otherwise.
Yeah, The Physicians of Vilnoc was a bit of a low point for the series tbh. For a 120-page story, it really didn't accomplish much aside from establishing a few new side characters. I'm happy to report that Book 11 is the longest of the series (so far) and quite enjoyable!
