Shards of Honor

this in context, I think it's kind of interesting to consider that, so this was published after Mirror Dance.

So the order from 1990, the Vor game, which we just talked about, published in 1990, then comes Barrier, which was 91, which we of course have acknowledged was published much later than the book that preceded it, Shards of Honor.

Then in 1994, Mirror Dance, something I pointed out in our Barry R. episode is that that ends with a really beautiful scene of Errol and Cordelia doing the mirror dance together, which is very cool because the next book that she wrote was Mirror Dance, and that establishing that the Barry R. in Mirror Dance is a tradition.

And that is, of course, a very potent metaphor for that novel, which is also one of my favorites top one or two books of this whole series, and I'm very excited for when we get to it.

[laughs] I read a review of Cordelia's Honor, which is an omnibus version of Lois McMaster Bujold's two f- first two books in the Vorkosigan Saga series, which were not both written first.

It's Shards of Honor which was written first in the '80s, and then Barrayar, which is chronologically after it.

And these are the two books from Cordelia's perspective in the early part of the series, and two of my favorite books.

This is science fiction.

Mm-hmm

... of Shards of Honor and just think of that like part where they're on the planet.

Mm-hmm.

This definitely did not.
