The Prisoner of Limnos, A Fantasy Novella in the World of the Five Gods, by Lois
McMaster Bujold (Subterranean)
Penric is back! Still attempting to court Nikys, the widow he fell in
love with in Mira’s Last Dance. Still
kind and courageous and inwardly torn and immensely gifted. This time, Nikys’s
mother has been taken hostage in a complicated political maneuver, and it’s up
to her and Penric (and Desdemona, his inward-dwelling chaos demon, and all of
Desdemona’s many previous hosts) to rescue the lady. Another superb tale set in
the world of the Five Gods.
The usual disclaimer: I received a review copy of this book,
but no one bribed me to say anything about it. Although chocolates might be
nice.
