Good but entirely too much pregnancy talk for my tastes. And just when I thought I had escaped actually having to read a description of live birth...it happened. /screams

Despite all this, it was interesting enough and good enough and compelling enough that I struggled through the parts that squick me to read the rest of it, which was great.

I feel like I get more out of these books every time I re-read them; there are complexities for the reader (Bothari) and complexities in the text (the individual vs responsibilities vs the culture of an entire planet vs the needs of the individual vs the needs of the whole). Cordelia remains great.

Bujold at her best: snappy, wise, and really, really satisfying.
