CryoBurn

Much like all the other Vorkosigan books, which is to say fun sci-fi pulp. Bujold is, as always, great at throwing out an insane amount of chaos upfront and managing to wrap it all up by the end. Didn't care for the beginning so much; it felt sloppily done as-is, and I'd have preferred to see the events leading up to it rather than beginning in medias res. It matters little for the remainder of the book, which was satisfying.

Minor annoyance: a lot of authors seem to feel obliged to implement faux-Japan at some point in their careers and this is Bujold's turn. Fortunately it's limited to modes of address (-san, -sama, -sensei) and doesn't attempt to mimic Japanese culture and so the annoyance remains minor, although one wonders why the author bothers as it has no bearing whatsoever on anything else including the planet's culture.
