Weatherman by Lois McMaster Bujold

Reading Weatherman as the first section of [b:The Vor Game|68483|The Vor Game (Vorkosigan Saga, #6)|Lois McMaster Bujold|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1322571824l/68483._SY75_.jpg|1129239]. Not sure if that really counts. I guess I'd need to scan a copy of the original story to know for sure. In the Vor Game it kind of ends fairly abruptly. And has the feel of something you get back to later. Which I kind of remember that we do, but I haven't re-encountered that yet. That said, it's an interesting first posting for Miles post academy. And has some nice bits to it. Reserving judgement, but for now calling it a 3.5 of 5.

THIS IS SIMPLY THE FIRST 1/3 (approximately) of THE VOR GAME, so if you're planning on reading the Vor Game next, you don't have to buy this separately. It's good, but no need to read it twice! (I'd thought it was a stand-alone bridging short story or novella, but no, it's not).

(Note: 5 stars = amazing, wonderful, 4 = very good book, 3 = decent read, 2 = disappointing, 1 = awful, just awful. I'm fairly good at picking for myself so end up with a lot of 4s). I feel a lot of readers automatically render any book they enjoy 5, but I grade on a curve!

**Weatherman** is a novella that is also part of **The Vor Game**. It was the weaker part of Vor Game, but it's still bloody good. I mean, it's Lois McMaster Bujold.
