Today is Father’s Day. Which got me thinking about the fathers in the books I read.
If I had to pick three fathers from the books I have read, what would I pick?
After some thought I came up with these:
- Aral Vorkosigan from the Miles Vor series by Lois McMaster Bujold. He has his own book and is the father to one of most amazing characters I’ve read. Fathering Miles has to be a difficult task – he was born disabled and is wilful and is hardly ever as careful as he should be.
- Saetan Daemon SaDiablo. He is the father of three main characters in the Black Jewels series by Anne Bishop – one my favorite series ever.
- Moon from the Raksura books by Martha Wells. This is one of the most creative series I’ve ever read and well-written, too. The guy had a few kids when the last book starts and they had been trying for the last couple of books. So that was nice. I would have liked to see more interactions with the kids – but I don’t suppose babies and adventures go together very well.

I don’t know why but even before I’ve read your post, with only just the title, #2 father in your list spontaneously popped into my mind.
it is because great minds think alike!
