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.

It's been a while since I've read a Vorkosigan novel, but I got right back into the suspense and the convoluted plots Miles spins. Mark is going to be an interesting spanner in the works in future, I can't wait to see what's going to happen next. Also, I like seeing Miles becoming more confident in himself. And Ivan was a pleasure, as always.

Entretenida como siempre y con sus momentos muy divertidos, pero por primera vez un libro de Bujold se me hizo algo largo, dándome la sensación de que pasaban muchas cosas pero ninguna importante o trascendental. Me faltó algo de la profundidad que sí he visto en otras de sus novelas...
Eso sí, con Miles es imposible aburrirse.

First read:
I think I may have just found a new favorite series.
Slow, funny, great relationships, much potential.
Second read:
It's been a month. I've already reread this book. I was impressed by how well the plot twists were set up beforehand. Just enough details to give you context when the reveal happens, but subtle enough not to give it away.
Booktone = Uranium Blue (intellectual and character focus)

I'm sure I would be better off reading the series in order but after reading the first couple of the series I know enough about the characters to wing it with this one.
I really like this series, so far all the books are full of non-stop action and great characters and this one is no exception. I love the mercenary fleet and who would have thought about all the problems involved with running one!! Can't wait until I get another book in the series.

Loved it much better than the last book in chronological order!
All the characters are here and now I am feeling nostalgic to read some precious books of the series even though I still have so many books from the series ahead of me to read for the first time!
