I figured that's why you didn't suggest! I figured I'd mention that most of her work is worth reading on that score, though you're right in that the focus is more on the male characters. But for me, it's unusual to find a series with a male MC that also has amazing women, which is why I thought it worth mentioning. :)

I think Cordelia's latter characterization is more because of whose POV we are seeing from. The scene where ... can't remember if it is Miles or Mark... accidentally overhears hears a conversation between her and Aral sounded much more human to me, whereas a lot of the time with her kids in the latter books, she is in Advice Mode. (Such as the scene where she sits the Kouldelkas down on the infamous couch.) My mom in that mode acts very much like Cordelia when she's in that mode, but my mom is also a psych professional.

I'd be really interested in a Cordelia-focused book after the events of Croyoburn, tbh, but I have my doubts that Bujold will ever write that.
