Soon, soon, if my diabolical plans bear fruit, the Old Wolf will be reading a series of novels by Lois McMaster Bujold. The first, The Curse of Chalion, has a protagonist yclept the Castillar dy Cazaril, known socially as Caz. Caz is a shining example of how vulnerability leads to surprises.
I recommend the Chalionese books to anyone, without reservation, as some of the most thoughtful, eloquent, piss-your-pants-funny, swashbuckling fantasy ever written.
