The Curse of Chalion Lois McMaster Bujold
I got this first book of the series Sunday night after dinner w/ the family. Read it last night and this morning. Once again, Bujold did not disappoint. If you read further down the blog you'll see the sketchy reviews I did of the other two books that I read out of order.
I was expecting to find out more of the rules of how the people within the books became either saints, or possessed by souls but this book did not answser the question. In fact this book had no talk of souls until after the first 200 pages. The souls that inhabited the characters were either god granted or transferred by something called death magic. It seems the other two books were more fully realized in terms of the soul magic by the author.
No matter, what was great was that the books did not strictly need to be read in sequencial order.
