Mystery. Intrigue. Politics. A mouth that consistently gets Miles in trouble.
Not much to say here except the world-building is quite fascinating. Cetaganda's culture is a real treat, but I think I'm always going to focus on the trees. You know, the cats. :)
Funny, fast, and it's so WEIRD how Miles is so honorable. Some might say... stupid... with women. Any women. All women.
Boys. lol

Not my very favorite in this series so far, but still an excellent mystery/adventure.
Miles Vorkosigan and his cousin are sent as diplomatic envoys to a state funeral on Cetaganda. Basically, all they're expected to do is to show up and look suitably grave.
However, the minute their spaceship docks, a mysterious assault occurs. In a combination of diplomatic tact and egotistical curiosity, Miles stays silent about the event, and embarks on solving the mystery himself.

3.5 really. A little side-trip of a muder mystery on a forein planet. Love to visit Miles and watch him do his thing!
I've been lost in the narrative flow of the Vorkosigan Saga for the last few days. The 5th in the series (I skipped 4) was disappointing to me, being basically a murder mystery and lacking the relationship factors that I liked in the first two books.
