I just finished Penric and the Bandit, and loved Penric's role as a divine in Roz's journey. I also found it interesting that compared to early days Penric seems less sorrowful about the damage he has to do to others. One question I had was the reminder of the number of Orban sorcerers, incl. Alixtra Dubro and Ota. Is there a supervisor of sorcerors in Dogrita? How does Pen relate to him/her?
Lois McMaster Bujold
The supervisor of sorcerers in Vilnoc is of course Penric himself, in an ad hoc fashion. What's going on in Dogrita is presently undefined and unexplored. We've met one high-ranking sorceress/physician from there, Learned Master Ravena, but whether there's anyone over her other than than the archdivine him/her self, or how many other sorcerers there may be in and around the winter capital is also not yet explored. We know there's enough for Pen to travel there to teach his experimental medical techniques to, but that could be as few as two, or as many as several.

"The World of the Five Gods" seems a bit of a mouthful, hasn't anyone suggested Pentheon (penta+theon, and also a play on pantheon) instead? Sorry if this has been suggested, but if Goodreads has a way of searching "ask the author" posts, I haven't managed to find it.

I just pre-ordered the Ukrainian translation of Shards of Honor and just wanted to say I'm so happy that Ukrainian readers who don't read in English can finally get acquainted with the Vorkosigan Saga in their mother tongue (and I have an excuse to re-read it for the fourth time). (Adding a ? because Goodreads wants it to actually look like a question.)
