I should know better by now than to pick up a Lois McMaster Bujold book at 9pm, even one I've read before. Completely captivated till I finished it at 2am. And then had to reread the first book in the series next day.

I particularly love Bujold's take on the gods and their relationship to humans in these books. It's unusual,well thought out, and definitely not cliché.
