Cryoburn by Lois McMaster Bujold
4.0
I love the Vorkosigan books, and this one is very good. It's just not my favorite.
The reason is that I've come to rely on the balance of Miles with Other People on one hand, and Miles with his family/familiar friends on the other. This time there were only letters and communiques with his wife, kids, parents. I don't expect every book to be set on Barryar, but this was a little too much of Miles all on his own for me.
And, hey, I missed Ivan.
Still a really good book, excellent writing, a good mystery. The whole Cryo scenario is totally intriguing. The plot took turns I didn't expect.
How long will we have to wait for the next one?
