I really enjoyed learning more of Miles Vorkosigan's backstory, and how his mercenary corps came to be. Since I'm reading the books out of order, it was shocking to me, to find out more about Sgt. Bothari. The way his character was handled, in the books I've read, was very tender and yet uncompromis...
This book is hilarious, entertaining, and interesting all at once. It's a humorous story about an intrepid little (literally) man who is bumbling his way through space. I've never read a humorous space opera that was so much fun, and yet serious. It's the first story in the Vorkosigan Saga that f...
The Vorkosigan books are, as I’ve documented quite well on this blog, my major literary find of the moment. The folks over on Sounis kept talking about them so I finally read the first one and fell in love instantly. While I definitely have favorites among the books, the whole series is marvellous a...
The story of young Miles. After seeing him as the bitter, conniving, injured adult man it was interesting to see him as a young man who actually made mistakes young man usually did. Though not a fan of sci-fi or anything with a whiff of spaceship in it I really did enjoy seeing him stumbled and blus...
I just finished Warrior's Apprentice last night and I understand why this series is so popular - Miles is a great untraditional hero - winning the day by using his brain instead of brawn. I always like a clever hero! Read as part of the omnibus [b:Young Miles|61916|Young Miles (Omnibus Warrior's Ap...

3.75 stars Read in August 2009 as part of the Young Miles omnibus edition. I warped through this novel in record time, finishing almost before I realized it, because it was so much fun to read. I returned to the world of Barrayar and the Vor to pickup Miles at age seventeen. And how much trouble...
Rollicking space opera. A page-turner but not an omg-I-must-forego-bathing-since-I-can't-take-a-book-in-the-shower, although I hear the series gets like that. Have also heard that these first few books later read like the first few Peter Wimseys do upon reread after reading everything. Oh, Miles and...
Heaps of fun after the first 80 pages of Miles playing Whiny McEmo. Honestly, Miles, you're a kind person, bright as a button and smart as a whip, a charismatic and inspirational leader with a powerful and relatively wealthy family who love you. Your readily compensated disability, in this context,...
