Reading: Winter's Orbit

Everina Maxwell's Winter's Orbit started life as an original fic on AO3, and while it's been expanded and revised for publication it is still a joyously tropey queer SF romance (arranged marriage! Only One Bed!), as well as a Bujoldesque murder mystery and an utterly delightful political comedy. I absolutely adored it and gulped it down in a couple of days.

This is the perfect review to push this towards the top of my TBR. Thank you! :D

I should read the published version, though disappointingly I seem to recall from reviews that it lost the ski trip.

I liked it, too, in both versions.

I liked that one a lot too (am haphazardly catching up with December's DW!).
