Work detailsFalling Free by Lois McMaster Bujold (1988)
For having never read LMB, I was pleasantly surprised. Not sure I'd jump right in and read everything thing else she's ever written; but I liked this story. (  ) lesmel | May 16, 2013 |  I liked this early entry in the Vorkosigan saga (it predates Miles and his planet by several hundred years) well enough, but it seemed a little flat after some of Bujold's later work. It was well done but not as funny as the Miles books. ( ) satyridae | Apr 5, 2013 | This is one of those [b:Murphy's Law|225591|Murphy's Law (Law Series, Book #2)|Lori Foster|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172865904s/225591.jpg|2924954] books, where everything that can go wrong, does, so you have to read it all the way through and get everything straightened out so you can sleep. Maeve Binchy's books are like this too, except hers are about Irish people and not about genetically-enhanced four-armed teenage space engineers. ( ) JenneB | Apr 2, 2013 | Book 4 (after a short story I couldn't easily locate) was the first book with which the author recommended starting this series, so here is where I started. I've not read any of the other books, this is the first and I had a pleasant day reading this book in one sitting. It's clever in all the right ways and kept my interest all through the book, I am now very much looking forward to getting into the proper Vorkosigan Saga. ( ) SpasticSarcastic | Apr 1, 2013 | While Falling Free has many of the strengths of the Vorkosigan saga, it's missing actual Vorkosigans and therefore doesn't really pack the same punch. It's entertaining enough, if a trifle obvious. I am getting mildly creeped out by Bujold's consistent young woman/older man pairings, though. ( ) JeremyPreacher | Mar 30, 2013 |
 Falling Free is one of Bujold’s early books, and it isn’t as technically accomplished as her later work. It’s definitely one of her minor books, but she’s so good that a minor book for her would be a major one for anyone else. Is contained in
