	RPGnet: Review of Paladin of Souls (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The sequel, Paladin of Souls is set roughly 3 years after the events of Curse of Chalion, but it does not have the same protagonist.
		This means that Paladin of Souls does relatively stand alone, a pleasure given so many sequels and series in the SF&F field where this is not true.
		Lady Ista, recovering from the loss of many of her family and freed from the terrible god-induced visions (the events of the previous book) has no desire to be trapped in the life of a royal widow, retired to a remote castle and living on the sufferance of her kin.

		Paladin of Souls by Lois McMaster Bujold, 4 1/2
		Review: Paladin of Souls is the sequel to The Curse of Chalion and follows a minor character from that book.
		Ista, the main character, is in her 40s and I found her perspective a nice change of pace from the younger women books tend to focus on.

	Allscifi.com Book Review
		Paladin of Souls picks up three years after The Curse of Chalion, when the dreadful curse that plagued Chalion's rulers was lifted.
		Although Paladin of Souls is a sequel to The Curse of Chalion, it is not a traditional sequel in that the stars of The Curse of Chalion are mentioned only briefly here and the peripheral characters are given a chance to shine.
		Although I still rated it at 5 stars, The Paladin of Souls is not as good as The Curse of Chalion, but Bujold is such a wonderful author that I loved this book anyway.

	Lois McMaster Bujold: Paladin of Souls
		Paladin of Souls is Lois McMaster Bujold’s follow-up to her highly successful 2001 fantasy The Curse of Chalion.
		While The Curse of Chalion followed Castillar Lupe dy Cazaril and the royasse Iselle, Paladin of Souls is the story of Iselle’s mother, the dowager royina Ista dy Baocia.
		While there is some of Bujold's trademark humor in Paladin of Souls, it is much more understated that frequently is the case, making Paladin of Souls a more serious novel than many of the Vorkosigan books of The Curse of Chalion.

	SFFAudio - The future never sounded so good.
		Paladin of Souls is the second book in Bujold's series involving the country of Chalion.
		Lady Ista is an intriguing forty-something lead character and is best described by her own words: "I have always been a drab sort of thing; the only thing that has improved is my wits." She is intelligent and witty and uses these talents to deal with devastating events from her past.
		She is given the tasks of rescuing souls being destroyed by demons and sorting out a deadly triangle of demon magic and deception.

	Paladin of Souls by Lois McMaster Bujold - an infinity plus review
		Paladin of Souls is the second in the fantasy series begun in The Curse of Chalion.
		But, in the end, Paladin of Souls is a competent and entertaining fantasy by an author who deserves her fame.
		It's not Lois McMaster Bujold's best book, and it is not one of the best fantasies I have recently read, but it is worth spending a few hours on, and I doubt her many fans will be disappointed.

		Where Paladin is less consistently surprising and gripping than its predecessor, the firm sense of character and touches of wit come to the fore (Ista's barbed exchanges with the Bastard are brilliant).
		Ista is a delightful character - warm, determined, intelligent, and with a great line in wry self-deprecation - and seeing her learn to make choices and take control of her life again is the most enjoyable aspect of the book.
		'Paladin of Souls' is an emotionally resonant, gripping, and yet gently domestic fantasy.

		Paladin of Souls focuses, however, on Iselle's mother, Ista.
		Three years free of the madness that kept her imprisoned in her family's castle, Ista is finally released from her last remaining duties by the death of her mother.
		It's been three years since the curse was lifted, but Ista dy Baocia, Dowager Royina of Chalion, holds a dark secret: she was responsible for the destruction of Chalion years ago.

		Paladin of Souls is in the rare sub-genre of fantasy that deals with personal faith.
		Having failed to lift the curse on her line and thought insane by her own mother, the main character seizes a chance to escape her prison of well-meaning relatives by beginning a spiritual pilgrimage that is interrupted by war.
		My only regret about Paladin of Souls is that I cannot unread it to have the pleasure of reading it again for the first time.

		When Paladin of Souls bagged Bujold her fourth Best Novel Hugo, she became the only novelist other than Heinlein to be so honored.
		Paladin of Souls is quite good; from any other writer in the field I might have bumped up the rating a notch.
		What is particularly impressive about Paladin of Souls is Bujold's defiance of the conventional wisdom of sequel writing.

		Although her first foray into fantasy The Spirit Ring was just okay, she really hit her stride with The Curse of Chalion, nominated for both the World Fantasy Award and the Hugo.
		Paladin of Souls takes place in the land of Chalion, and minor characters from the first novel become the protagonists of this second novel.
		She has recovered from her gods' induced madness, and is wasting away in a backwater town, cossetted, controlled, and cursing the gods.

	Paladin of Souls Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Paladin of Souls is Lois McMaster Bujold's latest novel, her third fantasy, and a fairly direct sequel to The Curse of Chalion.
		It seems that Bujold's energies are now focussed on her fantasy secondary world, centered on the Royacy of Chalion, which has certain similarities to Renaissance era Iberia.
		Paladin of Souls is the story of the Dowager Royina Ista of Chalion, mother of the new Royina Iselle, and widow of the late, cursed Roya Ias.

		In the span of the next few days, Ista will be involved in a mystery, attempt to put to rest the murdered soul, be possessed (again) by the gods, and save her country from a demonic invasion.
		In the first book, it appeared as if the pantheon might be similar to Christian trinitarianism, but much of Paladin of Souls is spent fleshing out the true extent of the five gods, their relationships one to another, and how they interact with the humans who do and do not worship them.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Paladin of Souls
		Lois McMaster Bujold was born in Columbus, Ohio, in 1949.
		What make Paladin of Souls so rich and readable are Bujold's strengths as a storyteller, here on confident display.
		Ista is, like Cordelia Naismith, a grouchy, funny, smart middle-aged heroine, not beautiful, but eminently lovable, even when she is angry and soul-parched and must rediscover love.

		She is capable of adapting seemingly any number of fiction genres into her own milieu, and even making it look easy.
		Curse of Chalion, her first attempt at fantasy, very nearly did; it’s easily one of the best books I’ve read in the past few years, and I highly recommend it…but Paladin of Souls done gone and reinforced that notion of mine I mentioned.
		Before I go any further, I need to make clear…this is a good book, I liked it quite a bit, I don’t think almost anyone who enjoyed Curse of Chalion should give it a miss, and I’m obviously not the only one who feels that way.

		PALADIN OF SOULS is almost a stand-alone book; I think enjoyment of it would be enhanced by reading CoC first, but it isn't necessary.
		I heard that Bujold is planning a book around each one of the five gods, which means there are at least three more to go in this world.
		On the whole, I would recommend PALADIN OF SOULS.
