" Another enjoyable book about Miles Vorkosigan, in this one he graduates from the military academy and immediately stumbles into intrigue and political plots, with only his genius and complete lack of respect for his superiors to get him out of trouble. As with the other books, Bujold maintains a bit of humor in the delivery...the books aren't laugh-out-loud funny, but have a bit of an underlying sarcastic edge to them. "
