Saturday, September 30th, 2017 02:27 pm2017/75: Penric's Mission -- Lois McMaster Bujold
Penric, at thirty, is quite different from the generally light-hearted protagonist of Penric and the Shaman and Penric's Fox. There have been several important changes -- only gradually revealed -- in his circumstances, and at the opening of this novella he's en route to Cedonia with letters from the Duke of Adria, who would like General Adelis Ariseydia to come and work for him.( minor spoilers )
