Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen by Lois McMaster Bujold
4.0
You guys, I really liked this. I think everyone who didn't is not Betan enough, frankly. You're all closet Barrayarans. Puritans. Children. Whichever.
I loved that this got back to Cordelia (heart) and I especially (from the ripe age of 33 and childless) loved loved the theme of "Oh hey! Parents have lives! That don't include you, Miles." Haha he's used to being the center of everything, isn't he? Poor tyke.
The fringe mentions of various people, including one Thorne, and cameos by Cetagandans being, well, Cetagandan, were lovely. I'm also a huge sucker for science and urban planning and public administration so basically YES PLEASE to settling new planets and biological surveys and city building.
Only sad bit is that I've now read them all, dammit.
