Summary: Space Opera at its Best
Comment: The Vor Game is a cliff-hanging adventure in the world of Miles Vorkosigan, one of the most intriguing scifi characters I have ever encountered. This is the first of Bujold's books I've read, but I still found the story easy to follow, with no prior knowlege of the plot. Expertly written, the impressive cast of characters' dialogue is witty, even hilairious at times. However, the Vor Game has a few setbacks. The politics of the story become confusing at times, and I found myself having to backtrack. The book also switches moods, going from light-hearted to serious in a matter of paragraphs, making the overall flow of the book a little choppy. But for any fan of non-serious science fiction, I highly recommend this action-packed adventure.

Summary: Miles is at it again
Comment: This book won Bujold yet another Hugo award (She has the second most in history but yet few people have heard of her). As always Miles seems to be able to do the work of five people, but it takes him the work of ten to get into the military, his dream career on army mad Barrayar. His amazing wit, insight into the mind of his comrades and enemies (supplied by Bujold of course), and amazing intellect are as always seemingly eclipsed by his father's and grandfather's achievements. The characters may seem young and whiney to some but it actually shows them rather believably in my opinion. Gregor's world image was just subtly but still utterly shattered and forcibly rearranged. Miles has just had his resolve and self confidence weakened by problems on Kryil Island and with his superior officers throughout the service, his idea of his dream career in the military not quite working our right; but by the end he became the pushy self-confident force he becomes in the persona of Admiral Naismith. An all around great read, how can it be out of stock all ready?
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent Book
Comment: About the only thing bad I can say about this book is that the pace is a bit uneven. During the early phase of the book, while Miles is the Weather Officer on Kyril Island, things are a bit slow. This segment of the book is necessary for future developments though, so it couldn't just have been cut. But still, its pace is slower than that of the rest of the book. Other than that triviality, it's really an excellent read.
