Following Memory, we really needed a light-hearted Miles book and this was so fun. It has all of the Miles shenanigans and follows Miles in his new era. I loved the second POV we get as well. Just a delight.

Possibly my favorite Vorkosigan novel so far. Ekaterin is a fantastic character and I really enjoy the contrast of her perspective with Miles'.
