And that story about the one Miles mission that was a total failure. I'm all about going backwards. :)The Moon in Autumnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00746463775107732805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3165463332200678857.post-44887260422007781372010-12-01T15:59:27.490-06:002010-12-01T15:59:27.490-06:00Ooooh, I have so been waiting for the Ivan book. ...Ooooh, I have so been waiting for the Ivan book. His character has gotten remarkably subtly developed in the last few books, and Miles has pretty much come to the point in life where Bujold stopped really working with Aral and Cordelia. Not that I don't want to read more about people's lives post-marriage-and-having-babies, because I'd really like to think there's some adventure left for those of us who have reached that place, but the Miles books have been kind of a really long coming-of-age story which Miles seems to have finally acheived. He's mostly come to terms with his biology; he's helping a kid with similar issues; he understands his parents, has made a place in his society, and looks to be a stable figure helping usher in the new world order as it were. But Ivan-you-idiot is a bit of a loose end needing some wrapping up, I think :-D The other direction I could see her taking things would be to explore more of the emperor's storyline.Liz Comptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794343826659644118noreply@blogger.com
