Bujold’s third book in the saga, this is the most interesting of them all. Told from the PoV of a mutilated imageless boy who aspires to be a war hero like his father, it spins more stories than it can hope to resolve, but that’s a thing I like. Miles is an interesting hero, and his traits from his mother and his father are remarkably (yet subtly) enhanced in him. I liked this book, the best of the series so far.
