6 novels and 2 novellas into this series and Lois McMaster Bujold still surprises me with every new story.

The tone of this one wasn’t really my thing, but it was still really enjoyable. I would’ve liked to know if they made it safely or not, but I’m pretty sure Brothers in Arms is the sequel to this so maybe it’ll be explored there.

I feel like this may be a turning point for Miles as a character. Like I just can’t have as much fun in these stories anymore knowing what’s happened here. Like a piece of innocence has been lost lol. Idk. I’ll have to read the rest of the series to see.
