Still, the books where stuff is at stake for Miles are my favourites. It seems to me LMB's done with him now. And yes, that ending, particularly the little snippets at the end. They really packed a punch!<br /><br />jmc: A couple of people have said that to me, that this is the one they don't reread. I was expecting something a lot more traumatic than I got, although maybe the reason I didn't find it traumatic is because I had been spoilt about the ending :(Rosariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13015659149421085931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730322.post-35041940608519384802017-02-08T12:28:28.376+00:002017-02-08T12:28:28.376+00:00I think Cryoburn is a better book than some other ...I think Cryoburn is a better book than some other Vorkosigan books (Gentleman Jole, especially). But it's the one book I've never reread. The end shouldn't have surprised me given the theme of the book and timeline of the series...and yet it still did.jmchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11898983085408358201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730322.post-2550875668040944532017-02-08T10:59:09.145+00:002017-02-08T10:59:09.145+00:00Hi Rosario.

I really liked Cryoburn, perhaps in part because it was so pleasant to read about an episode in Miles' life where he isn't in dire peril -- just him being his clever, kind self, surrounded by interesting characters and solving a very intricate and thought provoking puzzle. It was quite funny and I particularly liked the bits written from the point of view of Roic, his Armsman. And then the ending. It still haunts me.<br /><br />8 February 2017 at 10:57Fernandenoreply@blogger.com
