Product Description

Review
"Fresh, intriguing, and as always from Lois McMaster Bujold, superb." Robert Jordan, New York Times best selling author of The Wheel of Time Series "This is one of the great ones." Science Fiction Chronicle

Product Description
Lois McMaster Bujold has won the Hugo award four times, and the Nebula award twice. This is her second epic fantasy and the sequel to Curse of Chalion. The Golden General's curse has been lifted from the royal family and Cazaril can now rest easy and enjoy his new life with his bride Betriz. However, life for Ista, the Dowager Royina has not improved. With the death of her mother, the Provincara, and with her surviving child Iselle now ruling Chalion from the Capital Cardegross, she is left without purpose. Her brother's family still think she's mad and aim to keep her locked up safely to avoid embarrasment, but she craves freedom and escape and begins to plan how this may become reality.

5.0 out of 5 stars More Bujold Magic, 6 Feb 2004
By Mrs. Stella White "stella white" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
My first impressions of the cover and for that matter the title made me wonder if I was going to find that a book about Iselle's crazy mother as enjoyable as all her previous books. I really prefer si-fi but as loyal fan I bought it and as usual could not put it down until I finished it.

Although it is a sequel to the Curse of the Chalion, our heroine is Ista. It's her adventure with some old and some new characters and a happy ever after romantic ending. - Whenever has a Bujols book not left the reader satisfied with the outcome.

It would spoil it if I told you anything about the story but it's fantasy at its best.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Follow up, 26 Feb 2004
I bought this as I really enjoyed the Curse of Chalion and this follow up did not disappoint. Minor characters from the first book take the limelight and provide us with an excellent story.
I enjoyed this and will buy any more in the series (if there are any!)

5.0 out of 5 stars More Demons in Chalion, 18 April 2009
A Kid's Review
One of Bujold's forays into fantasy, this couldn't be more unlike the Barrayar series, which is not to say that it's bad, just very different.
We first met Ista, the dowager Royina of Chalion in 'The Curse of Chalion', where she might have been mad, or she might just have been worried to death for the fate of her children.
With the Curse lifted, Ista's frenzied worrying is relieved, but she is still in Valenda and her family are still under the impression that she's crazy - she isn't, she's just bored.
After meeting and talking with the 'Wife of Bath's' Chalion double, Ista decides to go on a pilgrimage, with just a young divine of the Bastard's order and a messenger girl. Just a jaunt round a few holy places to blow the cobwebs out of her brain. (To quote one of Bujold's other books 'Met the Chance brothers lately? No and Fat'.).
Although this can be read as a stand alone story, reading the 'Curse of Chalion' first is a good introduction to the religion and characters in both books. Either, or both, are excellent, well plotted, well written, with plenty of excitement as well as some interesting philosopical musings. Highly recommemded.
