She smiled fiercely at him, and held up the bag. And then she gets pregnant. The first half of the book might seem slow to some because all the political players have to be moved into position but what we read here is very important for the second half of the book and, in fact, the rest of the series as well as the characterization of all the secondary characters such as Bothari and Droushnakovi what a love story THAT is with Koudelka! In many ways, much of the story could be a 19th century Russian aristocratic drama with very few details changed. Cultures range from the monosexual but not celibate utopia of Athos to the genetically enhanced and highly aggressive inhabitants of the Cetagandan Empire; from the cut-throat capitalists of Jackson's Whole to moderate and scientific Escobar. The emperor of Barrayar is dying and has appointed Aral Vorkosigan as regent until his grandson, Gregor, now 5, grows up.

Readers who are familiar with Miles Barrayyar from the later books in this series will get the beginning of his story here, and it's well worth your time.
She could do it, too, with lethal and loyal Bothari at her side. The love between Cordelia and Aral is tested several times and trust deepens.
All about Cordelia and Aral and complementing the story that started in Shards of Honor. At the end of book one, Cordelia and Aral married.

Cordelia is kick-ass once again, barraywr still being her own person empathetic, sensitive. And the numbers of those grow exponentially when a civil war for the throne tears up the very tenuous peace between the full blooded contenders of the Emperor of these war loving militant people.
Lois McMaster Bujold was born inthe daughter of an engineering professor at Ohio State University, from whom she picked up her early interest in science fiction. I love them all as a group now and would hate for anything bad to happen to anyone!!!
The sci-fi elements involve advanced biomedical technology, including cloning and other types of genetic engineering no longer fiction.
Things get more complicated becauase Bwrrayar has been named Regent to the imperial heir, Gregor Vorbarra, and is suddenly at the center of a political struggle for power. Whilst I loved second part of this book I also had few issues with this instalment.
