Editorial Reviews

Faren Miller
(Bujold) gives (her) characters enough emotional depth, and enough sense, to raise their story beyond cliché.
—Locus
Tom Easton
…focusing on…the separation of lovers by politics and human depravity and their reunion in spite of it all. Yet the tale is not quite so simple…Bujold has a nice hand with the complications…all in all, Shards is a worthy effort, and worth reading for any fan of SF romance.

    okay, I read this book ages ago and just got it on my Nook. I am as enthralled with this story now as I was when I first discovered it. It is science fantasy; it is romance that strikes adults; it has honor and duty and responsibility to self and others all over it. It is idealistic in a way that you wish the world would embrace as did the two lead characters. I guess this sounds as though I love the book. And I do. The characters acknowledge their age, their weaknesses and their strengths. They love despite reason and they love with respect and with an eye towards duty. Neither wants to lose their home and all that they have worked for in their careers. They have an innate sense of right and wrong. They have a respect for duty.
    It is something that you read to clean your palate from the overly cloying sweetness of a la-di-da romance. It is gritty and it appeals to the honesty of what one can have and what one cannot have. It shows sacrifice and respect for sacrifice.
    It is something that you can leave out for a young adult to read.
    I wholeheartedly recommend it for the idealistic romantic who believes that love needs grit to succeed.
