Our view
“Winterfair Gifts” is a short, pleasant addition to “The Vorkosigan Saga”, meant for readers who already know its world and its people. The story is seen through the eyes of Roic, and it draws again and again on events and characters from earlier books. Readers new to the saga may find those references hard to follow. For those who have come this far, it is an agreeable small treat.
