I finished Shards of Honor on New Year's Eve--my last book of the year. It was a good way to end it; I really enjoyed it, and Cordelia is indeed awesome. It's also cool to see characters from the two later books I've read (The Warrior's Apprentice and Cetaganda) pop up and start to figure out how everything fits together...not that I'm not still ashamed for having started the series out of order...

I love Nine. (I have three episodes left in the series at this point, and I'm afraid to watch them.) I loved the Christmas episode with Ten. I really don't need another fandom... ;-)
