A review by caitibeth
Barrayar by Lois McMaster Bujold
5.0
Having moved to Barrayar and married Aral Vorkosigan, Cordelia was just settling into married life (including starting a pregnancy) when the dying emperor insisted Aral become the Regent for the emperor's four-year-old grandson. Now she, Aral, and their son are the focal points for unhappiness with the regime, as well as retaliation from off-planet enemies. How will Cordelia navigate and conquer her newly adopted planet that is literally trying to kill her?
Another strong novel in the Vorkosigan saga. This one is very much a tale of two parts: the first half is Cordelia learning about and adjusting to Barrayar, and the second is a hectic and exciting coup attempt. Cordelia shines throughout, and her relationship with Aral (though often backgrounded) is a constant backbone holding their story together. Since I love Cordelia, I enjoyed this book a lot.
