I think Penric is now one of my top male characters to have dinner with, right behind Cazaril and Peter Whimsey. And I would love to hear more about any/all of his adventures as they occur to you. But Bosha, Tanar and Adelis are the unresolved storyline that itches at me and makes me curious because I can't see a happy ending for them. Can you?
Lois McMaster Bujold
I can, but the route there is long and roundabout, and involves more Cedonian politics and time than I want to deal with right now. (Actually many potential routes, which doesn't make it easier.) Maybe someday. No promises.
And then there's Bosha's entire angsty backstory, which could be a novel in its own right, but a weird one. Also with a problem or six about a satisfactory ending. But yes, Surakos Bosha is certainly one of those characters who unexpectedly leap off the page.

Recently I read parts of my first book, published 11 years and books ago, to get details for a sequel. I was surprised at the skill of that alien time-lost author. Have you ever experienced anything similar? By the way, as I do every few years, I'm re-reading the Vorkosigan stories starting with Cordelia's books. I'm buying the ebook versions despite having the print books. Eyesight changes make ebooks easier to read.
