Don't get me wrong - I'm a huge Bujold fan - but after finishing 'Beguilement' Sunday morning and then immediately jumping into the car to drive over to Border's to buy 'Legacy' and finishing that Monday - ugh... Yes, it's nice to see the continued growth of Fawn and thawing out (;-)) of Dag, but I'd wait after reading 'Beguilement' till 3 and 4 come out. (IIRC you don't get back to Dag and Fawn till later in that duology even.)

Book 3 is done now and she's in the home stretch on Book 4. Specifically, she gleefully reported "I've left my characters in a really evil place, when I finished up that chapter to come on book tour." So knowing her writing, that's probably 2/3 or 3/4 of the way through, or so. :-) Dag and Fawn definitely do return in those, along with plenty of new characters, "over 20, all with their own agendas; it's more complicated than Miles' Dinner Party". I can't wait!

And then she's doing another Vorkosigan book :-) Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying the TSK books, but I *love* the Vorkosigan ones. I'm going to look out for this book sometime this weekend, hopefully. Oh, and off-topic, but slightly related - another really good romance/fantasy series is Anne Bishop's "Black Jewels" trilogy, though that is dark fantasy. It's been a while since I read it now, but I remember absolutely loving the characters and her world.

I absolutely loved Beguilement. But I had Amazon ship it to NC so I won't be able to read it for a couple weeks. :( I heard somewhere (sorry, can't remember where, maybe Li?) that Bujold is planning two more books in this world. Maybe focusing on other main characters, though. I want this book soooo bad. I absolutely loved Beguilement. But I had Amazon ship it to NC so I won’t be able to read it for a couple weeks. :(

I do think that Shinn and Bujold do something special by providing a very romantic story within the fantasy boundaries.

I guess she's kind of overshadowed by Dag, because he's just so wonderful, but she's a pretty incredible character on her own.
