I'm surprised but pleased on your behalf that you liked GJatRQ as much as you did! I don't DISlike it -- I don't dislike any books in the Vorkosigan Saga -- but I definitely thought it was the weakest of the books by a long shot, and kind of feel like it drags down the whole series a bit. I mean, I like Jole, I like that Cordelia's life does not end when Aral dies, I like seeing Miles as a dad and his young family, and I LOVE the conversation between Miles and Cordelia where she tells him she and Oliver are lovers, comedy gold! I liked a lot about the book, in fact, but the whole thing doesn't come together into a coherent whole for me (which 'Vashnoi' does, and why I prefer it as the ending).

So weird that you're now done with the whole series... I guess there is still more Bujold to read at least (I don't think you've read her World of Five Gods books yet, right?)
