3.5-4 stars.
This novel is the culmination of Bujold's long running Vorkosigan series which I've burned through this year to great delight and regret it took me so long to get to.
I didn't love it the way I loved some of the last ones, but part of that is having gotten away from the well beloved prior cast. But once again it's a real achievement of excellent character work set against the backdrop of sci-fi drama that has made the series a delight. I did enjoy the center billing for Cordelia Naismith, one of the best leading ladies in sci-fi
