I really feel like these omnibus editions are perfectly setup to have you step through Miles' various obsessions. I enjoyed the mystery story between the mostly war and political intrigue heavy novels that bookened it in Young Miles, and now at the beginning of this omnibus I'm treated with an even more fleshed out mystery. Thank you Miss Bujold.

The character motivations in this story seem so forced. I'm definitely thinking this book is so-so, but the universe is intriguing so I'll definitely be continuing through the series unless the ending is complete garbage.

The romance is unrealistic, but so far the characters are interesting enough to continue.

Only a few chapters into 'The Vor Game' and I'm already enjoying it. Miles Vorkosigan is quite possibly my favorite individual character in fiction.

I'm kinda not totally feeling this book more so because I'm a pacifist than anything. It's written reasonably well, and the 'magic system' (if you can call it that) is pretty interesting. I'll finish it but so far this is looking like a 3-star book.
