(I would like some confirmation that Nikys and Adelis's mothers were lovers-representation is good, after all-but that might require a POV shift and I think the subtext is there, but I also think that we don't really have the models for homosocial bonding in polygyny, but whatever.) So Tanar/Sura/Adelis as a future possibility and Penric/Nikys/Desdemona at the close of the book. Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen is the most explicit in terms of working out how the arrangement would go, but I counted three different triads in this novella, each of which was negotiated in a different way. For now, I'm much more interested in Bujold's recent focus on.for lack of a better term, polyamory. And as people who are constantly in over their heads and getting themselves out with a truly extraordinary and unexpected skillset.īut later. There is an interesting thing I want to write about Miles versus Penric as models of.an overinhabited mind, let us say. And Milesian is not a criticism because I love Miles deeply and forever (even if I would murder him if I had to live with him). The story itself was.fun albeit Milesian. We all know how I feel about Bujold by now, right? It's nice to get some resolution to the love story (which, to be fair, we all knew where it was going).
