The Warrior's Apprentice

The Warrior's Apprentice is another entertaining installment in the Vorkosigan Saga. This novel kicks off Miles's story, as he heads out as an inexperienced 17-year-old in search of adventure. There's plenty of adventure to be had, and he soon manipulates his way into someone else's war by pretending to be the owner of a mercenary fleet. While Miles's unstoppable successes were on the edge of credibility, the story was full of fast-paced, often humorous fun. I enjoyed the adventures, but my favorite part of this novel was the characters. The Warrior's Apprentice introduces a new generation of players, including the now-grown babies and toddlers of Barrayar. Bujold's characters are as well-drawn as always, and I particularly liked how the addition of the new generation built on the web of relationships and loyalties from the generation before.
