My Goodreads review: Barrayar

[ankh_hpl]

Barrayar by Lois McMaster Bujold

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I'm continuing to reread -- by listening -- Bujold's Vorkosigan Saga, and once again finding myself delighted by its mix of solid space opera, warm humanity, and flashes of wry humor.

Barrayar is the "origin story" (literally!) for Miles Vorkosigan himself. Of course, this being set on Barrayar, there has to be a conspiracy, an attempted assassination, a civil war, and various other obstructions to his arrival on the planet.

The Audible audio edition -- voiced by the same reader as Shards of Honor -- is clear and well-produced, without a lot of distracting bells & whistles.
