Such a boring book. I give up on this author and the series for now. This is supposed to be light scifi. It hardly felt like sci-fi to me. It's neither fun and heartwarming like A Long way to a small, angry planet, nor is it action focused or plot driven.
It is supposed to be character focused but I didn't even care for the main character Miles. There is zero action and only conversations with Miles trying to act smart all the time. There is just one female character who hardly does or say ...more

Another entry in the Vorkosigan saga. Includes so much of what I have enjoyed about this series, but this just missed me a little in the way that others have not so far. I found parts of the plot to be a bit abstruse, with repeated references to minor points I hadn’t fully grasped.
Nevertheless I had lots of fun with the hijinks of Miles, replete with witty dialogue.

Good story, very funny tale of a misfit with high intelligence who stumbles his way into leading his own army of inter-galactic mercenaries. Liked the characters and the tone, hope to read more in this series one day.
Grabbed me and would not let me go. Remarkable breath of themes and characters, relentless plot twists and just a lot of fun. There is a genius to the way that Bujold subverts tropes and produces wonderfully original stories. Bloody good stuff.
