	Vorkosigan Saga
		Bujold has done a good job of making most of the books in the Vorkosigan Saga comprehensible without reference to earlier books, but some subsets will make more sense when read in the right order.
		Brothers in Arms tells the reader that Miles Vorkosigan has a cover identity as Admiral Naismith and that he told a reporter that Admiral Naismith was his clone before discovering his real clone-brother Mark.
		The question of which book is the best starting point is a tricky one; the problem is that the later books tend to be better written, but they also depend on earlier books for their full effect.

	Vorkosigan Saga
		An unsavory incident in which 200 Komarran leaders were executed during a truce, without Admiral Vorkosigan's knowledge or consent, created for him the nickname "the Butcher of Komarr" and led to significant problems for administration of the captured planet -- and for Barrayar's reputation in the larger Nexus.
		During their 5-day hike to a secret Barrayaran base, she finds Vorkosigan is not at all the monster his reputation suggests, and is strongly attracted to him.
		As Captain Vorkosigan is organizing his fleet's retreat, Cordelia overhears a careless remark and deduces, step by step, a political secret that would plunge Barrayar into a generation of civil war if it ever got out.

		Miles turns 30, and--though he isn't slowing down just yet--he is starting to lose interest in the game of Wall: the one where he tries to climb the wall, fails, gets up, and tries again.
		Depending on how you count it, this is the eighth, ninth, tenth, or eleventh book in a series--not all are about Miles or even his extended family.
		Bujold's books, and particularly her "Vorkosigan" series, are a delight to read.

		The first novel in the volume, Shards of Honor, is a space-adventure-romance which might be described as military science fiction as it might have been written by Jane Austen: two mature, intelligent, and principled characters overcoming differences (rooted in complex social situations) to find a way to be together without compromising their sense of honor.

	[No title]
		That being said, the Vorkosigan Saga has its inconsistencies, and these are not limited to the usual ones of unreasonably powerful technologies being invented without considering all their ramifications.
		The spaceships of the Saga, for instance, must be capable of huge accelerations and speeds to cross interplanetary distances in the times described, but the prodigious energy generation implied is not seen elsewhere, particularly on backward Barrayar, but also not in the weapons capabilities of warships.
		The saga appears to occur 1000 years from now, but that is also not stated explicitly.

	SF REVIEWS.NET: Barrayar / Lois McMaster Bujold
		Though a handful of novels in the Vorkosigan saga separate them in their publication order, Barrayar is the direct sequel to Shards of Honor and depicts the birth of Miles against a backdrop of insurrection and civil war.
		Cordelia, heavily pregnant with Vorkosigan's first heir, is caught in the attack, and the antitoxin used to save her life effectively dooms her unborn son.
		While other volumes in the Vorkosigan saga cannot help but rob Barrayar of some measure of its suspense — we know that little embryonic Miles isn't going to get killed, after all — when the time comes to ramp up the action Bujold still delivers ample tension to get the job done.

	Review: A Civil Campaign, Lois McMaster Bujold
		Bujold's books filter everything through the viewpoint character's eyes (for example, Miles and Kareen see the same chairs as "spindly" and "graceful," respectively); this type of narration allows the reader to see not just the characters' actions, but their internal commentary and the subtle yet illuminating details in their mental depictions of events.
		In particular, Count and Countess Vorkosigan (Miles and Mark's parents) and Gregor are wonderfully and economically portrayed in their brief appearances.
		However, possibly the most encompassing and profound theme is that of change, transformation, or metamorphosis, which pervades both the plot and the characters, bringing them, not into happily-ever-after, but into a harmonious moment of calm for the characters and series to rest at.
