Cynnamon's Reviews > Captain Vorpatril's Alliance (16)

The first volume from the Vorkosigan Saga after a very long time for me. And … what shall I say? It was like coming home after an unduly long absence. I simply love this series to no end.

This time everything is about Ivan Vorpatril. He manages to get married by accident and gets stuck with his wife’s unusual and very strenouos relatives (no wonder, they are from Jackson’s Whole).

In the beginning I missed Miles a bit, but we meet so many old acquaintances here that I soon didn’t mind any more. Besides we get to know Ivan a lot better and find out that he is much more resourceful than one would expect.

The biggest part of the story takes place in Vorbarr Sultana and involves people, events and buildings we know from previous novels. As in all books of the series there’s a lot of suspense and humor.

So I felt wonderfully entertained by this mood-improving story and rate it with 5 stars, what else.
