A review by vemana
Captain Vorpatril's Alliance by Lois McMaster Bujold

3.0

This book starts out so well and take some unexpected turns. The romance is good but not at the same intensity or depth as of Miles and Ekaterin. It does right by Ivan and his 'wife'. The first half is supremely entertaining and builds new characters very well while adding depth to the ones we are all familiar with in the Vorkosigan saga. However after a certain party arrives the party is over. It becomes a weird portmanteau plot with ineffective thrills and mediocre action sequences. Glad to see a lot more beyond Ivan's usual facade but wish it was a better. 3 stars wholly for the first half btw
