Feb. 23rd, 2024 02:11 pmA Civil Campaign, by Lois McMaster Bujold. Vorkosigan Saga #11. This is probably my favorite of all the Vorkosigan books: a Regency-romance-style comedy in which Miles tries to win the heart of the woman he now loves while handling a complicated political situation (a competent woman wants to become her brother's heir but only men can be counts, so she went to Beta Colony for a sex change). Meanwhile, Mark hope to make a fortune from the genetic engineering of some really ugly bugs, which he's keeping in the basement of their house (surely nothing can go wrong there), and, oh yes, the Emperor their cousin is getting married. So many great scenes, some of which I like to read several times before going on to the next.
