Vorkosigan 9 -- Mirror Dance --note--numbers are OUR reading order only

[Rebecca]

Coming back in with a necropost here, and realizing Antti said it all. I'm not quite sure what the special sauce is here, but these books have my number. This was great, Mark's character arc and generally the overall story arc were soooo good. And to have all of the Vorkosigans back together was lovely. Cordelia really is a god-send to these boys of her's.

I also really like what Lee said about how Miles' relationships moved forward in this book: I also think that was one of the major plot points with Miles - him realising he might just need someone in his life for keeps who not only accepts him due to his disabilities but accepts both his personas; someone who will understand the loyalty and love he has for Barrayar also and again, this is not Ellie. I don't know if your prediction is right but I really liked reading your post and thinking a bit more about the evolution of Miles as a romantic interest (something I really hadn't done yet, I get easily distracted by all the fun war games, politics, etc.)

I couldn't wait to finish work, get by dog on her leash, and listen to this book during a good, long walk. I've loved reading this series and I can't imagine how it can get better.

Great to see you reading this series, Rebecca! I'll possibly re-read then next year

I agree, Rebecca, I was the same way. I was doing a lot of dog walking during the pandemic, and the series was perfect for it!

I love these books, and you are coming up on my favorite Memory and my other favorite A Civil Campaign. Some days the one is my favorite, sometimes the other. This is my favorite series ever

You're making me want to re-read the series again too!
