Reading the Vorkosigan saga in the chronological order, this was the first book completely set in a single, and totally new, location: Cetaganda. There was no Elena, Cordelia, Aral or even Dendarii. Just Miles and Ivan and a big mess they needed to clean up.
Miles was lovely as always, and I really enjoyed having Ivan around so much. While it was an interesting read, it felt a bit more like a procedural drama than the usual high jinx I've gotten used to.
