From Amazon.com

Miles manages to graduate from the Academy. His reward? A first post on Kyril Island, predicting and combating the local weather and his commanding officer's homicidal moods. His reputation and stunted form further battered by both, Illyan finds a way to combine (sort of) Miles's two lives as Lord Vorkosigan and Admiral Naismith--great for Miles, but a little hard on his commanding officers.


From AudioFile

Thwarted in his ambition to command a ship, Miles becomes embroiled in one undercover venture after another and finally is drawn into a search to find the emperor. Loyalty to the emperor might appear to be his motivation, but in truth Miles is driven by a desire to restore the emperor to the throne in order to avoid having to assume the job himself. Grover Gardner presents a precocious and quietly undaunted Miles. As Miles raises his eyebrows at what he learns, Gardner expresses the same in his narrative style. His tone is serious, with an undertone of wit, a love of intrigue, and a strong dose of confidence.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Excellent Book, Mai 26 2003
Par David A. Lessnau (USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
About the only thing bad I can say about this book is that the pace is a bit uneven. During the early phase of the book, while Miles is the Weather Officer on Kyril Island, things are a bit slow. This segment of the book is necessary for future developments though, so it couldn't just have been cut. But still, its pace is slower than that of the rest of the book. Other than that triviality, it's really an excellent read.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Enjoyable but slight, Janv. 20 2003
Par Emily Horner (Chapel Hill, NC) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
I've enjoyed some of Bujold's other books, and this one had some good moments, but by comparison to "Brothers in Arms" and "A Civil Campaign" it felt rather slight, with more emphasis on the military/space opera side of things than I would like. A below-average Miles Vorkosigan book is still a Miles Vorkosigan book, though, so I can hardly complain too much about it. If you're bent on reading the series in order, or you're a big fan, I would recommend it, but I wouldn't recommend it to a casual Bujold fan.
