Role Model, May 2 2003
By "phoenixdawns" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rissa and Tregare : the second book in the 3-part saga of Rissa Kerguelen (Paperback)
FM Busby created Rissa... at times, I let myself believe that he created her specifically for me. She has been my role model for many years: strong, confident, yet compassionate. Breaking free of her past tramas and stretching out on wings powered by her own determination, Rissa is everything I want to be when I grow up. At 36, I STILL go back and read this series when I need to renew my sense of worth and confidence. Thank you, Mr. Busby!

The swashbuckling saga continues, Oct 15 2007
By wiredweird "wiredweird" - Published on Amazon.com
In Young Rissa, we saw our heroine grow up as a child-slave of the state. A blinding stroke of good luck released her from indenture, then a series of benefactors helped her hide her fortune and become the adult that her childhood never prepared her to be. She escapes from earth ---- and "Rissa and Tregare" begins. She and her husband, master pirate and semi-mythical opponent to the tyrants of Earth, accumulate a small militia of freed ships, and arm them thanks to the skills of free weaponsmiths. Towards the end, mysterious aliens ally with their cause, and the prepare their march to free Earth.
It's swashbuckling feel-goodism in the grand tradition. Bujold's much later hero Miles Vorkosigan (among others) follow closely in Rissa Kerguelen's footsteps - and I mean that as praise. There's nothing grand or eternal in this story, but it's huge fun anyway. And Rissa overcomes that little bedroom problem along the way. Enjoy!
