The Borders of Infinity by Lois McMaster Bujold
5.0
Apparently I didn't review this the first time around.
Mountains of Mourning is, of course, incredible.
Labyrinth is what it is.
Borders of Infinity is amazing and incredibly painful.
This time through I realized something. This set of shorts, or novellas, or whatever, is an ongoing treatise to the importance of life. Every life. Disabled, monstrous, one among 10,000; every one of them deserving of the chance to live and grow and be loved. I couldn't figure out for a while why I kept crying, until I made that connection. It's been a hard few years. Hard to remember, sometimes, how important every life is. How valuable. More valuable than five brand new fighter shuttles, to be sure.
