Finally,the book where our dear Miles womaniser cousin Ivan finally meets his match.Good fun,and thankfully set a year before Miles becomes a Count,so no dark shadows.It was good to see more of some of the periphery characters from the saga in more detail - Simon Illyan,Lady Alys,Ivan himself in more detailetc.When the stories were from Miles point of view,his charismatic prescence just puts everyone else in the shade.Biut we never see enough of Gregor,and I always like to see him. A bit more detail about Barrayan life and history,or at least a retelling of it,bringing together snippets from arious book.Not a great classic LMB book,but fun,light,goodhumoured - but not enough of our dear Miles!
