Borders of Infinity by Lois McMaster Bujold
4.0
Tough to rate this one but the overall arching end to this one was well above a 4.
This story started at a current POV (which massively confused me) and then went back in time to reflect on 3 different stories in Miles's life and then brought it back to current. Simon is checking into the Mercenary listed expenses in order to stop a corruption/nepotism charge towards Aral, Miles' father.
I didn't know I would be re-reading "Mountains of Mourning" and "Labyrinth" again so at least 60% of this book was skipped (having read them already), so less stars for that.
What I did like was this actual story "Borders of Infinity"- 5 stars. Once again Miles saves the day and I see where it segues into the next book where he is making fixing those shuttles a priority and how he was haunted by the loss. This was freeing the prisoners at Dagoola (sp?).
And yes, the loss of Beatrice was sad but we couldn't keep her, could we? Elli was waiting in the wings :)
