None.  cricketbats | Apr 18, 2013 |  Blisteringly wonderful. One thinks, going in, that Bujold writes straightforward space opera. One sees a shelf of books called "The Vorkosigan Saga" and one draws these erroneous conclusions. Bujold is a splendid writer who in this book explores the human condition and what it means to decide who one is. What it takes to become wholly the person one wishes to be. What it means when one's agency is taken away, and what loyalty and love are all about. She doesn't miss a beat, either. Miles is one of my favorite fictional people, and he comes into his own in a big way here. Highly recommended. (  ) satyridae | Apr 5, 2013 | Probably my favorite of the most recent batch. Illyan is the victim of sabotage and it’s up to Miles in his newly-fired state to find out how it happened. Have I mentioned that I really like Gregor? Because I do, and he gets a chance to shine in this one. [Nov. 2010] ----- A re-read. I remembered enjoying this book. I did enjoy it, but it was also sheer torture! Ack! Ouch! Also, I kept expecting Ekaterin to be there. I love her so much, I want to retroactively stick her in all the other books. [June 2011] ( ) maureene87 | Apr 4, 2013 | I stayed up all hours reading this and was almost late to work. This book rewards those readers who've been following the whole series--it's not just another Crazy Miles Adventure but instead takes the character in a whole new direction. (  ) JenneB | Apr 2, 2013 | Miles turns thirty and thirty hits back ... hard. This will be a short sweet review lacking in many details because nearly everything and anything I say will be a spoiler. Miles walks through some of his deepest, desperate valleys and climbs to new heights of integrity, honor and satisfaction. I stayed up late and woke up early just so I could keep reading. One of the best installments in the Vorkosigan Saga. I highly recommend it to space opera fans. ( ) mossjon | Mar 31, 2013 | no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 067187845X, Mass Market Paperback)Miles turns 30, and--though he isn't slowing down just yet--he is starting to lose interest in the game of Wall: the one where he tries to climb the wall, fails, gets up, and tries again. Having finally reached a point in his life where he can look back and realize that he has managed to prove his courage and competence, he can move on to bigger and better things.Depending on how you count it, this is the eighth, ninth, tenth, or eleventh book in a series--not all are about Miles or even his extended family. A good place to start is with the first Vorkosigan story, Shards of Honor. (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 04 Jan 2013 13:31:19 -0500) A disgraced space hero gets a second chance. Miles Vorkosigan lied about the state of his health and is dismissed from service by his superior. But when his superior falls mentally ill and starts making mistakes it is to Miles he turns for help. By the author of Mirror Dance.… (more) (summary from another edition) |

From which you may deduce I kind of just want a book about Ivan and Gregor. (
