This is a mythical tale, with a poetical flavour, punctuated by well-written moments of action. While the prose is well-written, the pacing is all over the place. I can’t remember the last time I read a book that veered so wildly between involving action and glacial longueurs. The last 5% of this were like pulling teeth.

A bizarre story. The first 50% is basically like watching someone play an RPG, which could get a little boring but fortunately things pick-up when it becomes clear that there ia more to the story than a simple dungeon crawl. I initially thought I was one-and-done, but now I am actually looking forward to the next book…

A solid continuation of Shards of Honor. While the first felt like a series of short stories, detailing the developing relationship between the main protagonists, Barrayar is a more traditional beginning/middle/end story. I have not yet read any of the other books in the Vorkosigan Saga, however this introduction did make me intrigued to see how things develop from here.

A fun interlude between Stormlight books, particularly welcome as it allows Lopen, everyone’s favourite Hardazian, to have more of a story. It also sheds light on some of the more esoteric Roshar mysteries.
