Mira's Last Dance by Lois McMaster Bujold Book Summary

In this sequel to the novella “Penric’s Mission”, the injured Penric, a Temple sorcerer and learned divine, tries to guide the betrayed General Arisaydia and his widowed sister Nikys across the last hundred miles of hostile Cedonia to safety in the Duchy of Orbas.  In the town of Sosie the fugitive party encounters unexpected delays, and even more unexpected opportunities and hazards, as the courtesan Mira of Adria, one of the ten dead women whose imprints make up the personality of the chaos demon Desdemona, comes to the fore with her own special expertise.

Fourth novella in the “Penric and Desdemona” series.

“A novella filled with a satisfying blend of strong characters and wry humor.” (re Penric’s Demon)
- Publisher’s Weekly
 
“Bujold couldn't characterize badly if threatened with a firing squad, and what really keeps one turning the pages is the fascinating cast of characters.” (re PALADIN OF SOULS)
- Booklist
 
“Compelling characters and richly detailed world building.” (re THE CURSE OF CHALION) 
- Library Journal

“Bujold's reworking of a classic romantic situation is distinguished by its setting in a well-crafted world and masterly creation of characters whose fates will keep readers turning the pages.” (re THE HALLOWED HUNT)
- Booklist

As always, a good Bujold story!. Immediate sequel to the prior Penric and Desdemona story, taking up the story pretty much the next day. Much running around, a bit of Shakespeare side-brush, and an interesting bit about the possibility of being an unwitting answer to *someone else's* prayer. ...actually, there are at least a couple homages to Shakespearian tropes in this, I think. I am entertained. Less combat than the prior story -- I see why Bujold split these into two different novellas, as the change in tone would've not been a satisfying thing to try to bind between two virtual "covers." It is not impossible that one might be able to enjoy this as a standalone, but it would not be my first recommendation. Spoilers for the prior story, obviously, abound. Still, if the sample intrigues and you want to read in reverse order, go for it!

Dud. Boring. Not half as good as the rest. No adventure. No threat. And frankly, I could have done without the cross dressing. Added nothing to the story.
