Haven't read the new book yet. Is shiny and sitting on my kitchen table, waiting on Thanksgiving break *cries*

Also ditto on the Miles comment. If Bujold picks up that story thread again, my money is on the adventures of a Miles Jr. (or a Millicent). That's what most authors seem to do once they get their characters to a good place. Count on those rebellious offspring to carry the torch of misadventure! ^_^
