Not sure how to feel about this. Bujold does incredible work with the characters. I love Cordelia, her relationship with Aral, her struggles with a new culture and impending motherhood. ALSO THE SCENE WITH THE SHOPPING BAG. LET'S GOOOOOOO.

But I found myself not as interested in the world or the politics. Hopefully I'll enjoy what Miles gets up to.
