The Perfect Blend of Adventure and Romance in The Sharing Knife: Beguilement by Lois McMaster Bujold.
Bujold’s first fiction sale was in 1985, and she had completed three full novels before she eventually sold The Warrior’s Apprentice to Baen Books in 1986. All three were part of what’s now known as the Vorkosigan Saga. Being published by Baen, and because of the military themes in those initial three books, she was originally pigeonholed as a writer of military science fiction, but she soon proved extremely versatile. Bujold’s books often focus on biological issues and their impact on societies, including technology such as artificial wombs, genetic engineering, and cloning. When she began taking her hero Miles Vorkosigan in an entirely different direction in the midst of the series, it was clear that she had more in mind than just military adventures. The series has embraced and combined various genre elements over the years, including political intrigue, murder mysteries, psychological drama, espionage, romance, and even slapstick comedy. Her two fantasy series—the World of the Five Gods and the Sharing Knife series—bring a very unique and rigorous approach to worldbuilding, one which makes them accessible and appealing to science fiction as well as fantasy readers.
