Our view
“Komarr” works as a conspiracy mystery inside the “Vorkosigan Saga”, with action and suspense in good measure. Some readers love it for its second point of view: a woman who accepts her society’s roles for women and still finds strength within them. Coming late in a series of twenty, it is best appreciated by those who already know Miles Vorkosigan.
