I only go to Baen for Bujold.
I've picked up a bunch of freebies and bundles from time to time, but I honestly haven't found ONE book or author there I enjoyed.
The problem with the one Honor Harrington book I read was I kept scratching my head wondering why the author had made his protagonist a woman. Honor doesn't do (or think or feel) anything differently than your typical white male pulp protagonist, so why is she a she? Did they think it would attract more women readers? To tell the truth, I might have enjoyed the series if she'd been a he - I'm very fond of space opera and swashbucklers - but the cognitive dissonance made the book nearly unreadable.
So I go there for the Bujold and just ignore the other stuff.
