But all that changed on his assignment to the Cay Habitat, where a group of humanoids had been secretly, commercially bioengineered for working in free fall.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 722
When the witch built the 40-flight tower, she made very sure to do the whole thing properly. Each flight contains a dreadful monster, ranging from a diamond-scaled dragon to a pack of slavering goblins. Should a prince battle his way to the top, he will be rewarded with a golden sword - and the lovely Princess Floralinda. But no prince has managed to conquer the first flight yet, let alone get to the 40th. In fact, the supply of fresh princes seems to have quite dried up.

To other tribes, who have no such law, the Sun People are easy prey who will not defend themselves. Their game is poached, their stores raided, their women abducted, their men are killed for sport. But when Raging River and her sister are attacked by a Wolf People raiding party, River fights back and kills one of the warriors. Worse, she has killed the son of their chief.

A Tough Review To Write...
- By AlTonya on 04-05-21
Publisher's summary
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.

Spy, rogue, thief, and noble, Seregil of Rhiminee is many things, none of them predictable. And when he offers to take on Alec as his apprentice, things may never be the same for either of them. Soon Alec is traveling roads he never knew existed, toward a war he never suspected was brewing. Before long he and Seregil are embroiled in a sinister plot that runs deeper than either can imagine and that may cost them far more than their lives if they fail. But fortune is as unpredictable as Alec's new mentor.

In the sleepy Bavarian town of Gesternstadt, gossip was viewed by many as a local sport, a popular hobby, a harmless pastime that showed only the depth and enduring nature of the interest of one neighbour for another. In Gretel’s opinion, however, tittle-tattle sowed the seeds of malice among the fertile soil of jealousy, often watered by the tears of its victims. So it was that upon hearing from brother Hans of the whispers concerning a young woman, a married man and a thwarted lover, Gretel is compelled to rise from her beloved day bed to set things to rights.

When summoned to a fantastical world and granted powers by a broken System, most freshly minted protagonists would strap on their big-boy boots and get ready for their stats to start climbing. But Fischer isn't like most MCs. In fact, he doesn't want to be a hero at all. Fame? Fortune? Power? He had enough of all that in his old life. Discovering forbidden fishing techniques and petting every cute animal that comes within scritching distance? Now that's a good time.

Short but sweet.
A quick but delightful listen. Bujold has written a beautiful picture. Grover, per usual, delivers a great performance.

Absolutely Positively Fabulous
Excellent narration by Grover Gardner. He does voices well, both male and female.
This is a very entertaining novella. I was in love with Penric from the very beginning. Grover Gardner uses the same voice for Penric as he used for Lord Miles VorKosigan. When Desdemona accepted her name from Penric, I fell in love with her too. I have not matched Desdemona's voice with her Vor series equivalent yet. I am looking forward to the other books in this series.

Wonderfully told story
Lois McMaster Bujold once again proves herself a masterful storyteller with this new series in the World of the Five Gods. A fun look at a different part of the world she's already crafted with exacting detail and narrated by a smooth, soothing voice.

Delightful
The Penric tales are all delightful and a lovely extension to the world of the 5 Gods. Start with this one and listen to them all.

Great story, excellent performance
I don't know what it is about Bujold's writing that I like so much. Really, the story is pretty short and the events fairly pedestrian, certainly when compared to the epic fantasy books I"m used to reading. However, her writing is fantastic and the character dialogue is excellent. She obviously has a great sense of humor. The performance by Grover is excellent. My only complaint is that I wish the books were longer.

Introducing Penric’s Demons
Watching Penric meet his layer of fantastical demons is interesting and fun. We mostly hear from the first layer, but her patience with Penric is delightful. A young man being inhabited by at least ten female demons is a romp.

First novella in series
I really enjoy this little series. I've re-read it a few times in ebook form, and the narrator makes this form equally amusing. I have,of course, purchased the other two.
