These books are such a joy to read. Love this series, but especially love Cordelia...

In a new adventure, Miles and Ivan are sent as envoys to the state funeral of the Empress of Cetaganda where they get mixed up in a secret political plot started by an upper class of beautiful women who float around in bubbles. In order to prevent both a war with Barrayar and a civil way between the governors of Cetaganda, Miles has to use all his wits and catch a few rides in floating bubbles.
This one was pretty silly, but still fun. Miles once actually calls himself a genius to his supervising officer. Miles personality flaws are definitely prominent in this episode, but well balanced with his strengths.

- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

A fast, but great one! Sets the young Lord up with an out-of-this-world love interest while advancing his skills as a tactician and detective. I can tell I'm going to get tired of his supernatural ability of outsmarting everyone else pretty fast though.

Though I still loved this book, it didn't feel quite as sharp as some of the others.
Did really enjoy the glimps into the Cathegandan haut though. Interesting.

Dentro de la iniciativa #LeoAutorasOct. Hacen buena pareja Miles y el primo Ivan, y es que son un excelente contrapunto. Siempre es un placer leer a Bujold, independientemente de que sea una aventura de Miles o no.
