Miles Vorkosigan launches a campaign to win the heart of Ekatarina, whose former husband died as a result of Miles' investigations in the book Komarr, by the same author. As a member of the Vor class, Miles and Ekatarina are constrained by many social strictures. Because Miles is politically important, he and his actions are under close scrutiny and subject to various forms of political and social attack. The book is a comedy of manners, very well done so that we seldom look up and wonder why the characters don't just cut to the chase.

Dios es que cada libro es mejor que el anterior... Y en este se ha superado al doble!!!
Me lo he pasado de miedo, no me he reído tanto con un libro en la vida!
Leed a Miles! Leed a Bujold!!!
Dar la brasa a la editorial para retraducción y unificación de términos pq aquí tb pasa.

Porque a ver, llevo ya ni sé diciendo desde el 1º libro que …

One of my favorites in the series. Bujold models the plot on a Victorian romance, and this is much less action-oriented than earlier books in the series. But with a political intrigue in parallel with the comedic butter bug storyline and all wrapped around Miles making a complete idiot of himself falling in love, it's a winning combination. It also gives Ivan a chance to become a real character and get involved in a little action too. Altogether full of great characters always in motion and never a dull moment.
