azurelunatic's review against another edition

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

I enjoyed this apart from an egregious scene with the basest, most foul antisemitic stereotypes (though it falls short of outright blood libel). Due to that scene, I cannot recommend it. 

Fellow Vorkosigan fans may smile in recognition at some of the scenes of domestic mayhem.

Charles has a bad temper, and is verbally abusive to everyone around him, although generally regretting it later.
