"Captain Vorpatril's Alliance "is the most recent of Bujold's Vor novels. In this one, we are following Miles Vokosigan's cousin Ivan, who is once again drawn into intrigue and politics while trying to help out a friend. Ivan's adventures are amusing, and the heroine of the story, Tej, has an interesting backstory and is an excellent foil for Ivan. I must admit, I missed Miles, who is an incredible character, but it was nice reconnecting with some of the other characters in the Vor universe. The story has a good resolution and an amusing post-script ending. I am going to Worldcon this year, and this was one of the books I nominated for the Hugo. As you can see, I wasn't the only one. I give this 4.5 stars.
