Über diesen Titel

On his way to his betrothal, young Lord Penric comes upon a riding accident with an elderly lady on the ground, her maidservant and guardsmen distraught. As he approaches to help, he discovers that the lady is a Temple divine, servant to the five gods of this world. Her avowed god is the Bastard, "master of all disasters out of season", and with her dying breath she bequeaths her mysterious powers to Penric. From that moment on, Penric's life is irreversibly changed, and his life is in danger from those who envy or fear him.

Set in the fantasy world of the author's acclaimed novels The Curse of Chalion, Paladin of Souls, and The Hallowed Hunt, this novella has the depth of characterization and emotional complexity that distinguishes Bujold's work.

A very nice story by one of my favorite authors. The idea to have a demon with several female personalities work from the head of a young man in a medivial setting was something I have not encountered before, even though several slapstick ideas are inevitable. Still, the story feels fresh and fun. Grover Gardner also gives great life to the disparate characters.

Fun story

A simple story with a likable cast, none of McMaster Bujold's usual drama and complexity, but still enjoyable. The ending is a little abrupt, and leaves room for a sequel or two - I really want to know how Penric's story continues!

Nice story, but screaming for a sequel!
