"Three years after her famous husband's death, Cordelia Vorkosigan, Vicereine of Sergyar, stands ready to spin her life in a new direction. Oliver Jole, Admiral, Sergyar Fleet, finds himself caught up in her web of plans in ways he'd never imagined. Meanwhile, Miles Vorkosigan, one of Emperor Gregor's key investigators, this time dispatches himself on a mission, into a mystery he never anticipated--his own mother. Plans, wills, and expectations collide as the impact of galactic technology on the range of the possible changes all the old rules and Miles learns that not only is the future not what he expects, neither is the past"--

You'll like this if you are a completist - it's like a nice short visit with friends, no drama, just catching up with things. I'll likely not be buying a copy of this for my own. Glad I read it but generally “meh.”

Enjoyable, but there wasn't enough action, which is quite the departure for this series. The romance was quite believable, but I don't read for romance.

I was so surprised by some of the character actions on my first reading, that I didn't fully appreciate the book. I knew I'd like this book better on the second reading (which isn't to say that I didn't like it on the first reading, it was just it was more difficult to process).
