This is easily one of my favorite books ever. Honestly, I didn’t think it would be. My college roommate hyped it up like crazy, so when I finally got to reading it, I was expecting disappointment because it didn’t seem like it was going to be as good as she promised. But it was. This particular ...
This is an omnibus edition consisting of three tales. The first novel, "The Warrior's Apprentice," is where I officially fell in love with Miles, who sure isn't the usual square-jawed, bicep bulging sci-fi hero, and he's what made me go and seek out more of the series.

Bujold is great at the good ol' space opera standbys: other planets and cultures, big space battles, interstellar politics, and so on... so why is it that no matter how good she is at that stuff, my favorite parts of the Vorkosigan books are almost always those set on Miles Vorkosigan's homeworld of...
Young Miles continues the story of Miles Vorkosigan. While these books were not written prior to Cordelia's Honor, they take place after. The stories do not take place one right after the other, but over a span of years.The best work in this omnibus was the novella "The Mountains of Mourning": how...
