A review by katieinca
Cryoburn by Lois McMaster Bujold

3.0

Miles and Roic on a weird planet where everyone is frozen for later theoretical revival, and it's a big weird corrupt industry. Theoretically you could use this as a jumping off point for Thinking Thoughts about death-as-a-natural-ending and equal access to medical care and things, but I was busy being muddled about the mystery plot involving contracts and voting shares. Meanwhile, I will remember the book for the delightful invention of the talking genetically engineered sphinx cat (four months later I'm still periodically saying "Foes! Foes!"). It mostly rambles along feeling like just about any Mies book, then there's a random feeling convenient appearance of Mark and Kareen, and then BOOM let's get horribly sad in the last 10 pages.
