She has a very, very specific political and social agenda and plays it up as the ideal in her books. Her characters all very much agree with and follow it, even the ones that supposedly come from different cultures. It makes everything very one-dimensional to me, there's no really different opinions and everyone who diverges from her political/social views is a sociopathic villain or dies off. Or both. So it never really feels like an immersive world to me.

For wacky hijinks the series is awesome. For a deeper take on issues Andre Norton or Elizabeth Moon's Paksenarrion series beats Bujold all hollow.
