A comedic farce filled with deep character growth and meaning. From the bugs to the inheritance scheme to the weddings, this is a barrel of laughs and emotion. I enjoyed it start to finish.

This one started off slow, but once it got going, it was quite intense at times - especially considering that there were no battles or even a mystery to be solved. I stayed up way too late last night reading because I needed to reach some resolution after a certain part before I could sleep, and then I read the rest today in a rush. The last 1/4 was quite a ride, with moments where I literally laughed out loud as well as some that were just immensely satisfying. It was fun to have so many different perspectives this time, though I did frequently want to shake some sense into Ivan. Also, apparently I’m going to have to get used to Galeni now being pronounced Ga-lee-nee by the narrator- it wasn’t just a fluke last book - after having the narrator call him Ga-len-eye in all of the previous books. Sigh.

I had to make several attempts at this one. There's a lot going on in the story, which is fne, but a lot of that lot isn't resovled or explained. So I'd get along a fair way athen have to hunt back to find some ereference that I might've missed, only to find it wasn't there in the first place.
This story about Barrayaran politics and Miles' love life is all very well, but where's the intrigue? I put it down as strictly an intermediate piece to explain some background to 'Diplomatic Immunity', wich is the next book in the series.
Too well-written, though, to give it two stars, so it gets three.

One of the best in the series. And that's really saying something.
