Narrative Toward Books Komarr (Vorkosigan Saga (Publication Order) #11)

Komarr could be a garden with a thousand more years' work, or an uninhabitable wasteland if the terraforming fails. Now, the solar mirror vital to the terraforming of the conquered planet has been shattered by a ship hurtling off course. The Emperor of Barrayar sends his newest imperial auditor, Lord Miles Vorkosigan, to find out why. The choice is not a popular one on Komarr, where a betrayal a generation before drenched the name of Vorkosigan in blood. Thus, the Komarrans surrounding Miles could be loyal subjects, potential hostages, innocent victims, or rebels ready for revenge. Lies within lies, treachery within treachery, Miles is caught in a race against time to stop a plot that could exile him from Barrayar forever. His burning hope lies in an unexpected ally, one with wounds as deep and honor as beleaguered as his own.

Buddy read with Choko and Evgeny.I started writing this review yesterday and then RL happened. Let's hope that nothing will interrupt me this time :)From the very start of the series the planet Komarr has played an important but kind of behind the scenes role in Vorkosigan's lives. And I always wanted to visit it. Mostly because terraforming fascinates me. It's very difficult to write a good book set on a terraformed planet because it's either used as a convenient plot device and the science is

4.5 stars.Komarr was my second expedition into Lois McMaster Bujold's "Vorkosiverse" (my first was Shards of Honour), and my first introduction to Miles Vorkosigan. I have to admit that I didn't like this novel as much as Shards of Honour, but it had nothing to do with Miles. Miles was as wonderful as I hoped he would be. No, it was certain elements of the plot, and certain reservations about the heroine, that knocked a half-star off my rating of this otherwise brilliant novel.I like to call

A buddy read with Choko and Maria.My biggest and constant complaint about the series is its predictability. Let me demonstrate it on this example. The previous book left Miles being a junior guy in a very important job. His seniors mentioned junior guys get the most troublesome job in the most troublesome place. What would be the most troublesome place for Miles in the whole Empire? Planet Komarr where people believe his father was responsible for a grand massacre and regarded Miles accordingly.

4.5 Stars. Another great installment of one of the best SF series of the past 15 years. Not quite as good as some of the earlier installments, but the quality level is still very high. Recommended!!!

*** 4.35 ***A buddy read with Evgeny and Maria, because we cannot stop the Forward Momentum!!! "...All the geniuses I ever met were so just part of the time. To qualify, you only have to be great once, you know. Once when it matters. ..." Once again I am going to sound like a fan-girl, but I can't help it! This series has stolen my heart. I know I have several series of books which I love and are a must read for me, but most of them are more because the story lines are not finished, and the

"MINIONS. MINIONS ARE MY FAVOURITE THING." -Miles, all the time, forever."So, uh, guess I'll see you around maybe. Or not. Hey, here's a binder I made for you with every one of my six house addresses and fifteen phone numbers as well as the addresses and numbers of every person I know in case all my numbers aren't working and you need to talk to me oh, and if none of those work either here's the address for the Emperor of Barrayar because he should probably know where I am sooo...yeah, call me.

I connected deeply with the character Ekaterin. Her predicament broke my heart at times. Miles' heart melted as well. Komarr takes place just three months after Memory. Miles acquires an Auditor Mentor in Ekaterin's uncle Vorthys. Both Imperial Auditors arrive at Komarr to investigate a tragic and seemingly inexplicable near space accident involving an ore freighter and the Komarran solar mirror array. Each Auditor brought a different perspective and expertise to the investigation. Vorthys'
