I gave it the 100 page test, and it didn't pass. I tried hard to like it, but it just didn't work for me. I hear that it's not a good intro to the series. I'm willing to try another one. Recommendations?

It was just too dry and "procedural". ( )

There is no series like the Vorkosigan series. The books never disappoint. ( )

This is the second Vorkosigan book I've read (the library audiobook interface makes it difficult to tell which books are parts of which series, much less where in the series they are. The other one I read was the second one). It worked reasonably well on its own, though it probably spoiled some of the older ones a bit. Interesting exploration of what would happen if/when cryonics starts to really be feasible and medicine has advanced enough to start taking people back out. Manages to be simultaneously optimistic and cynical. ( )

It was so good it's bad. I'm kidding. No, who am I kidding? Myself? Overall this is a book of expectancies come true. And the main theme (and sub-theme too) are really not helping in stirring things up. They just feels flimsy. They do not have any pull. There is only good writing. ( )

Almost done with my "re-read the Vorkosigan saga" project. I'm so glad that I decided to do this :))) ( )
