This just really wasn't my kind of story. There was way too much lengthy discussion in which characters try to unravel the theological enigma that forms the basis of the plot. I gave it 3 stars for the parts that didn't involve this, which I enjoyed, but frankly, if Bujold weren't the author, I would've put it down after 100 or so pages. Ista makes a good enough heroine, but 'The Curse of Chalion' this is not.
