CryoBurn by Lois McMaster Bujold

5.0

Another solid story. I keep waiting for a story to disappoint me but I am still waiting! Some are better than others in this series, of course, but nothing below a 4 for me. Apparently the final book, Red Queen, would be one of those from all the reviews I have read.

Cryoburn- a story about a planet obsessed with freezing themselves instead of accepting a natural death and obviously this leads to corruption and greed (corporations, sheesh.)

Miles is sent to investigate since something about the expansion to Komarr seems "off" and boy, does he step into it all (just like he always does). Jin was a delightful character and the story moved along quickly after a disorienting beginning. Miles was having a drug reaction and hallucinating angels.

Fun continues as Roic tries to find the "little maniac" since they are separated in a botched kidnapping and to think, they kidnap the wrong body to revive! Great story.

The sphinx was a hilarious addition to Jin's creatures. Mina, Lisa and the Consulate, they all seem sweet together.

I am sorry to see this series ending!
Loved this quote--
“The world is made by the people who show up for the job,” Miles agreed.
