She's won as many Hugo's as Heinlein. Where to start with the Vorkosigan Saga.

Not counting Heinlein's retro Hugo Award winning novels, Lois McMaster is the only other science fiction author who has been able to match his incredible record.
Tonight I review Lois McMaster Bujold's 1988 Nebula award winning Novel "Falling Free". I provide a plot overview, discuss my likes, my dislikes, make some recommendations and then I rank it on our ever growing SF Shed Ladder.

Over the last year i have reread over 40 Hugo and/or Nebula award winning Science Fiction and Fantasy novels, and I have been ranking them on the ever growing SF Shed Ladder.

I use the following criteria to help me rank these wonderful novels.
1. Concept (how interesting/unique is the SF or F concept)
2. Execution of the concept
3. Characters (interesting character arcs, relatable, interesting)
4. Writing (how much did i enjoy the writing)
5. How memorable are these novels (the memory test)
6. Plot (interesting twists and turns)
7. Ending (does the ending satisfy)
