Grover Gardner
Miles tries to play detective in a strange, complicated, and deceptively alien culture, while lascivious Ivan manages to get himself involved with several noble females at the same time, a diplomatic no-no of the first order. As the plot thickens, it becomes clear that it's up to Miles to save the empire.
With her usual skill, Bujold addresses timeless issues of human identity through the personal dramas of her characters.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Set in a vividly realized world where Machiavellian intrigues are played out behind a facade of aristocratic discretion, this novel, like its predecessors, blends high adventure with wry commentary on the seemingly unbridgeable gulf between human ideals and political realities." (Publishers Weekly)
"[Even] readers who normally eschew science fiction will delight in Bujold's intriguing plots, appealing characters, and wry humor." (Library Journal)
"As witty and well-handled as is usual for Bujold....In the wake of Bujold's new Hugo, even greater swarms of readers will flock to this book and swell even more the number of her fans, which is only what she richly deserves." (Booklist)
Featured Article: 12 of the Best Sci-Fi Series in Audio
From the furthest reaches of space to the microbiology of pandemics and gene manipulation, to the future implications of technology for societies similar to our own, science fiction is a fascinating genre that offers listeners a wide variety of ways to access its themes. In looking for the best sci-fi audiobook series, it can be difficult to know where to start due to the genre's sheer number of iterations and variations. But what these series have in common is an acute devotion to telling a good story, as well as fully building out the worlds therein. The writing is enhanced by the creative and impassioned narration.

Any additional comments?
Another great book. In this installment, Miles and Ivan go on a diplomatic mission to Cetaganda and Miles gets into trouble and Miles gets Ivan into trouble. This is a great addition to the Vorkosigan Saga. And I think my favorite line in the book is, '...van-like space clearly designed for the lady-bubbles.' Want to know what this means? Listen to the book.Lady bubbles

Not the best of the series that I've read so far, but still it stands out as a fun read. I continually really enjoy how there can be such varied cultures all from the same source. But of course humanity has such varied cultures on Earth, too.
Miles is at it again!

There is a fantastic change in perspective of the Cetagandans that happens in this book. In the end you don't particullarly love them more, but at least you understand them better and gain a healthy respect of their culture. Some aspects of their society are reminiscent of ancient Japan; the focus on perfection and beauty, the feudal structure surrounding the ruling and military casts, the deceptive power structure, the elitism within the race, and the hidden culture within the culture. I don't know if the conections are incidental or if Bujold intended them, but they add another level of interest to the story.
Ultimately, this is another great story in a string of them from this author.
Technically, Grover Gardner is a competant performer of audio books. He is consistent in his voices and he makes no regular or obvious mistakes. I don't prefer the timber of his voice personally, but eventually you get used to it.
Wonderfully Whitty look socio-political structure

Anyway, this story is a refreshing sidestep from the earlier space opera(ish) saga. Novel is a bit of an anomaly, and it places our protagonist in the role of a detective sleuth, who gets entagled in a complicated powerplay within the ranks of a former enemy state.
This is a deeper look at the Cetagandan society and its complications and quirks. Interesting enough of itself to justify this novel. I think it may have been meant as a start to a series of books, but fell a bit flat.
The story has a few too many characters in it to make it easy to follow. This is the one gripe I have with Bujold's writing: she introduces a vast array of characters that aren't memorable or distinct enough to tell apart. Doesn't help that they all keep some title like Vor (read Von, Van, Af etc.) in the name to further muddy the waters.
Which Vorwhatever was this guy again? Same goes With the Cetagandan Bas, Hautes and whathaveyous.
But. The dialogue is snappy, witty and funny. Plus the mystery is interesting enough to make this worth your while. And who knows, maybe we'll hear more about Cetagandans at some point.
