I am quite enjoying the Penric and Desdemona series.
At the begining of this volume, one of Penric's fellow sorcerers was found murdered. Penric joins forces with Shaman Inglis and Locator Oswyl to hunt down her murderer. It won't be easy.
A good story well told – as I have come to expect from Bujold.
In my opinion not quite on par with the other stories, though that may be related to the fact that it's been a while since I read Penric #2, so I wasn't as familiar with some of the characters as I might have been if I'd read them back to back.
Still, it's always good to spend more time with Pen and Des, seeing how they develop and grow together over time. I also enjoyed seeing more of Inglis and Oswyl as well as meeting new characters.
Overall there were enough moments that had me grinning out loud. :)
