So I read Falling Free by Lois McMaster Bujold, I thought about doing a full post review but think I'll just slip it in here: Absolutely enjoyed it, and it reminded me a lot of The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein as they both (spoilers) feature a middle aged engineer helping start a revolution.

The way the quaddies (mutants) were handled is exactly what I had envisaged for my own #worldbuilding idea, so it's quite like coming up with an idea and skipping straight to the finished product! I'd definitely recommend the book and plan on reading the rest of the series, maybe that should be my #moralemenagerie goal!

I really enjoyed Falling Free. Are you going to read the rest of the Saga? I think Bujold is one of the most underrated talents in science fiction.

I plan to, the library doesn't have any of her work so looks like I will be buying them throughout the year!

If they've got Overdrive you might be able to get it all digitally...
