Date: Oct. 23rd, 2013 12:40 am (UTC)Patricia C. Wrede wrote, among other things, the Enchanted Forest series, starting with Dealing with Dragons. They follow the life of a Standard Fairytale Princess who hates embroidery and would love to do something else, like cook or swordfight, so she goes and ends up finding employment with a dragon, which her Standard Fairytale family and suitors think is very much Not Done. A lot of women rescuing themselves, people being practical about silly fairytale things, and defeating of evildoers with cleaning supplies.
As I said, I'm a newcomer to Vorkosigan myself, so I might have this wrong, but I believe most of the books follow either Cordelia or her son Miles, with a few books being more distant relatives. The first one chronologically is Shards of Honor, which stars Cordelia. The first Miles book is The Warrior's Apprentice, which starts more quickly. They all come in omnibus forms -- Cordelia's first few books in Cordelia's Honor, Miles' first few books in Young Miles.
ETA -- I forgot we live in the same place right now (though you might be getting these in ebook form for all I know). I've got both the omnibuses out from the Cambridge Public Library, so you can't get them from the library until I'm done. :P But I would be happy to lend you (give you? I might have ended up with multiple copies of some) any of the others, which I own.
