This is also probably not a book for those who are only interested in the over-the-top space opera moments of the series. There were a few moments that felt a bit nostalgic, but I enjoyed them. I also loved the several scenes with Simon Illyan and Alys Vorpatril. It was a danger to let Miles take over the story, I'm sure, so one scene with him was all that could be allowed to happen, I think. In an attempt to keep from giving away too much, I will say that there is a scene with “The Gregor” and “The Coz” that was great. ![]() But then I went back and reread several of my favorite scenes. I have friends who are less dedicated readers and they wanted to know if this book was “worth reading.” I ended up reading it in one day and handing it off, wondering to myself if they would consider the book an essential one or skippable. I think there are books in the series that are less compelling than others (Cetaganda is one of my least favorite, but Memory-which ends Miles career as Admiral Naismith is one of my favorites). The Vorkosigan saga is probably my favorite series of all time. ![]()
