This is the second space opera for grown-ups featuring intelligent, capable, determined Cordelia Naismith, now Lady Vorkosigan since her marriage to aging warrior Aral Vorkosigan, and after all the multi-planet craziness of Shards of Honor it looks like Cordelia and Aral have finally been able to ex...
Many readers have indicated that the first two books aren't as strong as the stories with Miles in them. This really excites me because I really did enjoy these first two books, that I can't even imagine how happy I'll be in my upcoming reads. Cordelia and Aral are just such a perfect team. They...
In Barrayar Cordelia and Aral of Shards of Honor have married and she's settled on his world of Barrayar, and the novel deals with her struggle to come to terms with the values of his world as well as the complications and dangers of the Byzantine political intrigues which threaten their unborn chil...
Barrayar continues and completes the story of former survey ship captain Cordelia Naismith and her husband Aral Vorkosigan, Regent of Barrayar. it is pretty enjoyable. is Bujold becoming one of my favorite scifi authors? i'm surprised at that realization. her style is not particularly striking, ofte...

9/2012 Yup. Solid 4 stars but maybe more next reading. I loved coming back to this after the whole series was under my belt. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.6/2012 I suspect that this book is going to become a 4 star book as I re-read & inhabit this series. I think I'm reading for plot now, and afte...
