review 1: Zadnja (barem zasad) knjiga u Vorkosigan sagi je dobra, iako je osjetno slabija od ostatka serijala. Ova knjiga nije direktno vezana za Milesa, nego se radi o njegovom bratiću Ivanu Vorpatrilu, koji se uspije lovom na jednu curu zapetljati u međuplanetarnu zavjeru i sve što uz to ide. Glavni ženski lik, Tej, je razlog zbog kojeg ova knjiga nema max. ocjenu, jer Tej je superiritantna i pomalo glupava, ne razlikuje se pretjerano od gomile žena u čijem društvu Ivan inače obitava, a nekako ispadne da ga se baš ona posebno dojmila i na kraju se u nju i zaljubi. Taj dio priče mi je mrvicu pretjeran i nekako mi se ne uklapa u Ivanov karakter. Osim toga, ostatak romana je u prepoznatljivom Bujoldičinu stilu i ne manjka mu ni urota, ni plaćenih ubojica, ni zapetljanih s... moretarih slučajeva CarSiga.
review 2: This is the next to last of the Miles Vorkosigan Series (in the Vorkosigan world chronology, not publication order). Miles makes only one very brief appearance. This is Ivan's show and it is a good one. Gregor makes a number of appearances and, as usual, shows good sense. Early on in the story, Ivan gets married, solely to protect a young woman from arrest on Komarr. The rest of the story involves how Ivan deals with his mother and Simon, Imp Sec, and his wife's family. It's a great story -- showing how smart Ivan really is, as well as how much he does not want anyone to know that and why. And, of course, since it is Ivan, there is much to chuckle about! less
