Excellent,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mirror Dance: a Vorkosigan Adventure (Hardcover)
This book focuses on Miles' clone brother and takes him from being a shadow of the original to being a player in his own right. At the start, Miles is pretty well justified to say 'some people have an evil twin. I have an *idiot* twin'. Yet when things go really wrong, his clone doesn't quit, but discovers his own strengths and puts things to rights. All the characters grow, and even though I've not read all the background it all made plenty enough sense. It is dark and complex, lots of psychology and biology as usual, and I loved it.

Read her books,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mirror Dance: a Vorkosigan Adventure (Hardcover)
Mirror Dance is a touching, gripping, and hair-raising book on several levels. A major character is killed and then goes missing and the hunt is up. But the strengths of this book are in the relationships among the characters and how both the relationships and the characters themselves change. I was in such a sweat to know whther he lives or dies that I actually read the end about halfway through. Bujold makes you care for her characters as if they were your friends.
I bought 2 of Bujold's books because they were Hugo winners. I have since read and reread everything she has written. If you have not read any of her work, I envy you, as you get to experience Miles' universe for the first time.

It doesn't get any better than this!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mirror Dance: a Vorkosigan Adventure (Hardcover)
Bujold's series of novels about Miles Naismith Vorkosigan (one of SF's all-time best characters) are some of the best space-operas ever written. And Mirror Dance may well be her best yet. If you haven't read the others, start with Shards of Honor and then Barrayar (which are about his parents, and both quite good), then the Warrior's Apprentice, The Borders of Infinity, The Vor Game, Cetaganda, and Brothers in Arms (all very good). Of course, if you just can't wait, can't find them, or can't afford them, Mirror Dance is still outstanding on its own, but it's even better if you've read all the pre-quels.
(Cetaganda was written after Mirror Dance, but takes place earlier in Miles's life.) Another sequel, Memory, is in the works (a 3-chapter teaser is included in Cetaganda) and looks to take up pretty much where Mirror Dance Leaves off

Mirror dance: Am I you?,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mirror Dance: a Vorkosigan Adventure (Hardcover)
Miles is dead, lost, presumed... Mark is taken to Barrayar and discovers that he now is Lord Mark Vorkosigan. But he caused Miles' death, and now there's only one thing left to do: Mark has to return to Jackson's whole and find his brother, and maybe himself. But they both are wanted by the Great Houses, for different reasons. And of course nothing is as simple as it should be... Vorkosigan adventure follows, much and often, and maybe, just maybe someone is found. |
