Generally, publication order in this series is chronological order. However, I would recommend chronological order where they differ.
Falling Free is set in the same universe, but is not actually part of the series (which is why I mentioned it separately back in my original suggestions). |

Well, I just read Chapter 1, of "Shards of Honor," on Amazon and couldn't put my computer down.
I was caught, like a zombie in a giant spider web filled with decomposing body parts. So I bought the ebook! Interestingly - ALWAYS INTERESTINGLY! - this book is listed as #2 (on the cover!) in the Vorkosigan Saga series. Undeterred, and quite thoroughly having enjoyed reading that first chapter, I look forward to reading it while this discussion continues. |

Bujold was one of the joys that happened because I bought that first Sony e-reader and was looking for novels to read on it and discovered Baen. I hadn't read any science fiction since my youth and discovering such a great writer who'd published a lot was a real find. Jim |

I started reading her books way back in 86, so I read them in publishing order. Either order will work. |

Yes, Falling Free will give a very good reason to read on. It's enjoyable and you'll want to read more.

It's been a while, but I thought people in this thread would be interested to know that there have been two more Penric Novellas since November 2016:
Mira's Last Dance, published 27 Feb 2017 Penric's Fox, published 7 August 2017 Mira's Last Dance is an immediate continuation of Penric's Mission. Penric's Fox is set between Penric and the Shaman and Penric's Mission Last edited by pdurrant; 08-31-2017 at 03:06 AM. Reason: typo |

Thank you, I discovered through goodreads this week. I've enjoyed Penric's fox, but, although I've begun Mira's last dance, it doesn't pull me.

Yes, thank you. I've added Lois McMaster's goodreads blog to my feed, as it looks like it's the only way to know this in advance (Amazon warnings are laughable -> A month late more or less)

I read Falling Free first because some list I consulted said it was #1 in this universe series. I wanted to read this universe because of all the awards the author had won for it. I greatly enjoyed Falling Free and thus I was quite happy with following my plan of reading the rest of this series. Had I not enjoyed it I possibly may have terminated my plan to continue reading the series; which is possibly the only reason not to read it first. |
