Lois McMaster Bujold is one of my favourite authors. I recently reread "Shards of Honor" (her debut) and its sequel (continuation?) "Barrayar".

Such excellent sci-fi, with a mature, competent, female protagonist; painful ethical decisions; vivid characterisation; beautiful romance. Situations where doing the right thing is almost impossibly hard, and you have characters who rise to that.

Read it if you get the chance!
