Hello, new fandom.

I should listen to you people when you make book recommendations.

I’ve just started reading Lois McMaster Bujold’;s Cordelia’s Honor and I love it muchly. I haven’t gotten far, but I think it’ll be a good fit, mostly because Cordelia Naismith, our erstwhile protagonist, is clearly a strong woman who doesn’t need to go around bellowing, “Hey guys! Look! I’m a STRONG FEMALE CHARACTER! Look how pretty and special I am.” Nah, she just seems to do whatever needs doing. Also, the romance in this book is great. The two characters in question actually spend time talking to each other instead of going from “I hate you” to “Let’s have sex.”

More coherent, formulated thoughts as I keep reading.
