While my Goodreads only goes back to 2017, I&#8217;ve used LibraryThing since (gulp) 2009.

Agniezka is still one of my favorite book characters and I regularly reread parts of this book. And yes, this is also the second Bujold appearance on the list, but this time for a book in her World of the Five Gods series which, ahem, I personally consider even better than Vorkosigan. Ista, the middle-aged heroine, starts out defeated and tired and ends up, well, still tired but in a take-no-shit way.
