The Vor Game is kinda weird; the first part was actually a novella originally, and then it was expanded later into a full book. So, like, the first half of The Vor Game is Miles in space!Antarctiva, and the second half is Miles reunited with the Dendarii mercenaries. I liked both of the stories, but...
Although I took a break while reading this in order to gorge on movies and TV, I really did enjoy it at least as much as [b:The Warrior's Apprentice|61906|The Warrior's Apprentice (Vorkosigan Saga #3)|Lois McMaster Bujold|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1170597854s/61906.jpg|2792]. Miles was a bit more...
This is one of the compulsively readable books, though in itself I don't think the story is one of the better ones. A little like Elena's major encounter in The Warrior's Apprentice, this is a plot which requires Miles to "just happen" to meet someone with a massive plot impact - in some fairly min...
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 HUGO WINNERS list.This is the reading list that follows th...
Super good! Just enough of the war scenes and them not being too long. The first part of this story was in The Space Opera Renaissance, which I had thought was a stand alone short story. Nope, it like the first 1/4 of this book. Miles graduates, is sent to an arctic installation for 6 months and...
Straightforward rollicking space opera. Lots of twists and turns to the plot, layers of military strategy and enough humor to keep me snorting throughout. Miles is wonderful, and he's made even better by the strong supporting cast.
This book is almost two separate stories put together -The first is Miles's first assignment out of the academy, a post as a weatherman in a desolate (and rather chilly) location. It is meant as a test to see if he can shake off some of his insubordination, and if he passes this test, he will be aw...
I really liked this one, in large part because I liked the Dendarii Mercenaries and I like the tension stemming from Miles’ heritage as Piotr Vorkosigan’s grandson AND Aral Vorkosigan’s son. I wished we had a bit more of Elena in this one. I think in a way I wanted the kind of carefree, amusing Dend...
Another favourite for me in the Vorkosigan novels. We get to find out what an obnoxious little prig Miles can be sometimes, but also what sort of person he can be too. Smart, witty, and action filled in three stories. For the longer review, please go here:http://www.epinions.com/content_74498215556
