My main thought is that I want it NOW, dammit.

My thoughts: Jole and Cordelia? But what if it's not better than the fanfic? OH NO what if it is better than the fanfic, will we survive?

Dread, unfortunately. Cryoburn and CVA were such terrible disappointments that I felt like Lois is no longer able/willing to write great books. I suppose she could surprise me and write a book in which the main character actually has a stake in the situation and has to grow and change to deal with it. I would love to see a Cordelia book, but not if it's like the Ivan book... :(

On the bright side, Dira Sudis is super excited and talking about writing lots of Arkady Jole before the book hits. That I'm looking forward to with no reservations. :D

I'm 90 percent OMG MORE CORDELIA *shiny shiny hearts* !!!

And about 10 percent heartfelt prayers that it won't be a romance. /o\

I would note that Bujold said on the LMB mailing list that the book didn't really fit any genre tropes and she'd tried to shoehorn some in when she was writing and it didn't work. So the book will probably be quite ... unusual. Whether that's good or bad, I don't know.
