Oh-miles-WHAT

I er, realized that there's a volume I've reread less often even than Mirror Dance--that being Borders of Infinity.

Here we have this gem in Bel's introduction in Labyrinth: Bel Thorne, the Ariel's commander, was a Betan hermaphrodite, man/woman descendant of a centuries-past genetic-social experiment every bit as bizarre, in Miles's private opinion, as anything rumored to be done for money by House Ryoval's ethics-free surgeons.

Ryoval. What.

:wince:.

I don't remember what the last Vorkosigan volume I read was; it might have been Border of Infinity. Every now and then all the squeeing I see on my flist accumulates in my head and I find myself asking, "self, why did you abandon this series?" And then something like this reminds me why.
