Super fun to see good ole Miles Vorkosigan go on further adventures, further enraging his elders, but I am sad to mention that the darkness and sadness that made the earlier books in this series so special has basically disappeared, by now, which is a real shame.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
