Well deserved. I still remember when I read Cordelia's Honor first, which is quite a few years back, I wanted her and Aral as my book mom and dad. Would have had the added bonus of having the coolest brother in the universe.

You are definitely Grandmaster McMaster!
Lovely review and commentary, well-deserved. I may have to start yet another re-read of the series.
"Although I am not, technically, a grandmaster, only a McMaster."Is that an Irish master or a Scot master?

Despite some scratching around by family historians, I don't think we know. We do know our branch came down to western Pennsylvania about the time of the Civil War from/through Ontario, Canada. My Grandfather McMaster's father worked as a stonemason. He had four sons in Washington, PA, of whom my gf was the youngest, and died rather young.
Somewhere, I hope in my older brother's hands, there is a family bible that records more information, but I have not seen it.

I just have a bone to pick: the story calls Miles an 'adolescent Tyrion Lannister.' That's a canard! Tyrion is an 'adult Miles Vorkosigan'! (Albeit the Vorkosigans have more integrity in each of their pinky fingers than do the entire Lannister family collectively...)

A lot more people will recognize Tyrion than Miles; if it gets any of them to pick up the VK books, well and good.
As long as they don't get the order of the characters' respective creations mixed up -- Miles came first! -- I'm OK with it.
