Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen by Lois McMaster Bujold
5.0
As much as I want to keep reading new Vorkosigan books forever, this is a perfect cap to the series. The characters are older, wiser, slowing down, and now begins a time of reflecting back on their lives and the choices that have been made along the way. They make peace with themselves and each other as they prepare for the next phase in their lives.
It's a slower story than others in the series, and the stakes are much lower (some shenanigans with the local fauna notwithstanding). But I've spent a year with these characters now, getting to know and love them, and this was a satisfying epilogue to their saga.
