I enjoyed this book, the first we see Quinn as a major character. I liked Galeni's character a lot.

An exceptional novel. On old Earth, Miles comes across a plot against Barrayar that becomes more personally involving than he can imagine. Wonderful characters, an involving plot, and some fantastically funny sequences--this is one of my favorite Vorkosigan novels.

Still enjoying revisiting these books as audiobooks while going through some Stuff

While I was inevitably spoiled for this novel along the way (inevitable when you are curious enough to go trawling wiki for information), I still enjoyed the "twist" in the novel. While I'm not sure why cloning was the path chosen for Mile's development it made for a fairly interesting read.
I feel somewhat guilty that my most vivid memory of this novel is the trauma which Ivan went through, but the book proceeds nicely and there are a few choice moments which go on inside of Mark's head which are quite fascinating.

I found myself with a much greater sense of appreciation for Brothers in Arms the second time around, although knowing Mark and his role in the universe to come I was unbelievably shocked at where Mark began. Over the years his character had become taller, larger than life, bigger than Miles himself, so to see him where it all began was a shock to the system.
Miles Vorkosigan aka Admiral Naismith of the Dendarii Free Mercenary Fleet finds himself stuck on Earth after a devastating campaign. Left chasing funds to pay off his Fleet debts, Miles finds himself stuck as escort to London socialites and struggling with the shift between his Vorkosigan and Naismith personalities.
Amongst all this, lurking in the background is our introduction to Mark, a truly bizarre twist in the storyline that is Miles.

Väga hea. Mulle meeldib, kuidas poole pealt ilmunud ja esialgu väljanaermist väärt yllatusest on raamatu lõpuks saanud sarjale igati aktsepteeritav ja huvipakkuv lisandus.

Another excellent installment in the Vorkosigan Saga. LMB continues to build on the depth of her characters from Miles to Ivan. I love how every book also reveals more about Barrayar culture and how the rest of the universe perceives them.
