4.0

This well written science fiction novel seamlessly blends elements of adventure, and romance with political intrigue and inter planetary conflict.

Bujold's masterful storytelling and excellent worldbuilding explores the theme of loyalty, sacrifice, and the consequences of war. 

Bujold's prose is richly textured, elegant yet accessible.  

First in a series, but can be read as a standalone.
