I just finished the 3rd Penric story - I have to say these are just getting better; Des and Penric are a wonderful pairing. I am fascinated by the possibilities. I especially like the "conservation of entropy" idea in how a chaos demon and its rider work together, which can go so many different directions, from subtle chemistry (catalyst?) to gross physical manifestations. I hope this gets explored more.

Glad you are enjoying these little tales!
Although do remember the magic is ultimately magic; some readers get carried away with the skiffy-minded possibilities, and overthink things, just as some readers get carried away trying to find nonexistent 1:1 parallels between our-world geography and history, and these tales. Fun for them, I guess...

But wouldn't the Vor have their own accent, like the Brits with their Queen's English?

Lois McMaster Bujold:
There's a story I don't think I've ever found. In the list of Miles' stories, it's when he's 25. And the blurb says it involves Simon, changing bones for Miles and in a hospital, and foiling a plot against his father. Supposedly, the title is Borders of Infinity, but that story is about a Cetagandan prison camp, according to the collection Miles Errant. Am I missing something?
