His first mission as Imperial Auditor leads Miles and his colleague Vorthys to Komarr to investigate the partial destruction of the Soletta array, a sort of mirror construction to strengthen the sunlight for terraforming the planet. Much more interesting than the investigation, however, turns out to...
Boy does Miles fall in love quickly. I used to think that it was just a turn of phrase for a pretty girl, "Man, I'm in love!" But nope, it's the real thing for him. And although there's not a love connection in the book, the woman he meets sees him as a smart, funny man. Great series, I'm reading...
Following the resounding success of my Locus Quest, I faced a dilemma: which reading list to follow it up with? Variety is the spice of life, so I’ve decided to diversify and pursue six different lists simultaneously. This book falls into my GIFTS AND GUILTY list.Regardless of how many books are alr...
Following directly upon the events of 'Memory,' 'Komarr' still functions as a stand-alone novel.And... I liked it even better than 'Memory.' The plot felt more original, and it just has a really well-structured, exciting story, backed up by well-rounded, believable characters and a vivid, consistent...
Bujold gets inside of my head like few other authors have. Ekaterin's interior dialogue is searing, brilliant and heartbreaking.

This is one of my favorite books. Not merely among Bujold’s novels or SciFi novels but in general: one of those books I reread whenever I feel blue and need a dose of cheers. You know, one of those where you remember all the plot twists, can recite some words and passages by heart, but keep reading ...
I was expecting something quite different from this book, but I ended up liking the way it went quite a bit. The first Miles/Ekaterin book. [Nov. 2010]
Set on a mission to the planet of Komarr, Miles meets Ekaterina -- and falls headlong into love. There's just one tiny catch -- she's married, and devoted to her husband. And there's a child involved. Complicated. This is one of my favourites in the series.For the complete review, please go here:htt...
I connected deeply with the character Ekaterin. Her predicament broke my heart at times. Miles' heart melted as well. Komarr takes place just three months after Memory. Miles acquires an Auditor Mentor in Ekaterin's uncle Vorthys. Both Imperial Auditors arrive at Komarr to investigate a tragic and...
