The Unwanted Book
Dec. 11th, 2009 12:40 pmI am anticipating with mild dread the next Miles Vorkosigan book. Because as much as I love LMB as a writer, very few people deny that the last Miles books Diplomatic Immunity sucked suffered quite a bit in comparison to Miles' life changing tour-de-force in BOA, Mirror Dance, Memory, and ACC. It was just so damned routine, and I strongly suspect that it suffered from a lack of interest on Lois' part, in comparison to her Chalion and Wide Green World books.
From the hints that have come out about it, it's pretty obious we're going to be finally dealing with Aral's much delayed death and the fallout thereof. And that should be beautiful and elegaic, not... tired. Which is what I'm anticipating.
