Posted on July 26, 2013 Leave a Comment

Beguilement by Lois McMaster Bujold I recently read Bujold’s The Curse of Chalion which teased me with the romance between Cazaril and the young Beatriz.

The phrase, which according to Wikipedia has been around since the 1990s to describe a sub-genre of fantasy “set in a Regency or Napoleonic-era period”, admittedly only entered my lexicon just this year. But all this time, I knew deep in my gut that […]
