5.0 stars. Absolutely superb introduction to one of the top 10 best SF characters ever created, Miles Vorkosigan. Highly recommended.
Miles VorKosigan fails to get into miltary school due to failing the physical test because ofhis brittle bones. He visits his maternal grandmother on Beta colony and proceeds to get himself in to trouble.

Ah, I really enjoy this series, I like Miles Vorkosigan a lot. I am happy that I read Cordelia's honor first, it really gives a nice background on Miles as well as all the other characters.
While this may not be high-end lit, I have to say it seems to me, to be high end space opera, lol if there is such a catagory. It is a guilty pleasure to read, pure escapism at its best. I can't wait to get my hands on the next book to see what happens to Miles next.
Another great plus to reading this series ...more

The Warrior's Apprentice where Miles does the ad lib of a life time and creates the Dendarii. A ferocious farce.
The Vor Game has Miles, still finding following orders restrictive, is given his first posting having finally graduated from Barrayar's military Academy. Placed in the Arctic of a half terraformed world under a commanding officer who has lost his hold on reason does little but reinforce Mile's opinions of the military command system.
