Mar 12, Laura Kyahgirl rated it it was amazing Shelves: The overall impression one gets is that it was horrendous, it was amazing that she survived, it led to her near fatal addiction to Cloud nobody gets off Cloud, and she lost some very dear comrades.

Misfits is the story that fills in a lot of the blanks about this time in Miri's life. Its told from the POV of The Weatherman, who was stationed in orbit around the planet, as he tried to help her and her troop survive. He broke a lot of rules in order to do the right thing and was severely punished by his clan. However, he survived, Miri, survived and they carried on and met again, years later, shortly after Korval was evicted from Liad. Hopefully future Liaden universe books will show them making some progress in fixing the godawful weather on Surebleak!

Jun 22, Kathleen rated it really liked it Shelves: Most of their elite clients could care less about these misfit mercenaries, and want only to use them — not to offer full disclosure, not to warn them, or help them. Thus, Miri and the Mercs are vulnerable to lethal radiation exposure on Klamath. Our noble meteorologist, a member of Clan Lystra from Liad, is another story. Ichliad Brunner puts himself at risk on several levels to do right by Miri and others.

He pays a big price for it, too. However, ten years later, the wheel turns again. Miri re-enters his life, Val Con at her side. Recommended to Liaden Universe fans. Filling in some blanks, connecting Miri's past to the present, and offering hope that Surebleak truly can be warmed perhaps like Bujold's Komarr is heated, with huge orbiting mirrors. Meteorologist Brunner is briefly mentioned again in Necessity's Child great book.

Ren Zel meets with him to discuss ways to heat the chilly planet. Jun 11, Karen rated it really liked it.

Oct 27, Colleen rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: This was a complete sigh of contentment. Miri had always wondered what happened to the weatherman on Klamath. This is his side of the story, from back before Klamath shook apart all the way to his belated re-acquaintance with Miri after Liad itself suffered liberation. I can't explain it.

Then you'll understand how incredibly satisfying this short story is to Liaden fans. This story gives us a solid glimpse into Miri as a young mercenary and the first time she met Brunner the weatherman. Another really good backstory filler. Oct 25, Kerry rated it really liked it Shelves: Oooh, I liked this one. It was lovely to see the other side of what happened on Klamath, and the ending, where Brunner and Miri are reunited not a spoiler, I don't think was lovely.

Reading these chapbooks has artificially upped my reading count for the year as they are all short, but this is how I'm reading them, as individual books, so I'm adding them. And they have been lovely fun. I shall now go back to Fledgling and try out using Wispersync on my phone as I also have the audiobook. I'm look Oooh, I liked this one.

I'm looking forward to it. Sep 15, Sbuchler rated it it was amazing Shelves: Sep 21, Erin Penn rated it it was amazing.

Usually when an author shines a spotlight on such times, it never quite reaches the horror better left imagined. Not in this case. The weather on Kalmath is a living entity.

All of them have a duty just to observe, but in the end, they all choose to go beyond their duty and act. I read this first for free at BAEN's Webscription site, because it was written for their online magazine. It's quite a long novella detailling the story of what happened to the Lizardi mercenaries on Klamath, what Miri Robertson's role was in that attack and what all of this had to do with a Liaden weatherman who put his professional ethics before his clan pride.

On Klamath it was Miri's job to carry Lizardi's Lunatics' special meteorological and comm equipment. That was her duty. Meanwhile, there was a weatherman, a Liaden, known as Ichliad Brunner. A weatherman's job is to observe and predict, and having someone on the surface of a strange and war-torn world could bring special insight to the process of weather, while he watched from an orbiting space station. That was his duty.

Then the war took a turn no one expected, and duty took on special meanings for both of them, meanings they'd carry for the rest of their lives -- if they survived! I loved the action, the conflict of cultures, the characters, the romance. But best of all, and what makes each story enduringly special to me, is the strong sense of honor that impels the actions of the main characters and is often the basis of the conflicts among them. The Liaden world is an admirable world. Read more Read less.

I hope this duo continues writing Liaden books for centuries to come!!!! The first one I read, not the fourth in the series, I picked up since they are fellow Maine residents. The depth of the characters, the logical, the elegance of their created world, the dignity of the characters, and the fast paced plot all made me fall in love with the Liaden Universe.
