Representaion In Favor Of Books Miles in Love (Vorkosigan Saga (Publication Order) #11-12. 13.1)
Omnibus with two complete novels and a novella in one large volume. This collection shows Miles and Ekaterin meeting (Komarr), getting to know each other as Miles tries to court her (A Civil Campaign), and the wedding (Winterfair Gifts), and, of course, Miles dealing with assorted family relationships. Miles deals with political problems along the way plus recounts the loves of his life to Ekaterin. ...none of them would marry him; they all went on to lead successful lives--so unlike her life on Komarr. The last on his list was Rian: "And what does she do now?" ... "Now, She's an empress" ... "Can I take a number and get in line?" ... "The next number up", he breathed, "is one".Contents:
Komarr: Miles Vorkosigan is sent to Komarr, a planet that could be a garden with a thousand more years of terraforming; or an uninhabitable wasteland, if the terraforming project fails. The solar mirror vital to the project has been shatteredby a ship hurtling off course, and Miles Vorkossigan has been sent to find out if it was an accident, or sabotage. Miles uncovers a plot that could exile him from Barrayar forever - and discovers an unexpected ally, one with wounds as deep and honor as beleaguered as his own.
A Civil Campaign: On Komarr, Miles met the beautiful Vor widow Ekaterin Vorsoisson, who has no intention of getting married after the heartbreak and betrayal of her first experience. But Miles has a cunning plan to change her mind. Unfortunately his clone-brother Mark and his cousin Ivan have cunning plans of their own, and the three-way collision of cunning plans threatens to undo Miles' brilliant romantic strategy.
"Winterfair Gifts": Miles and Ekaterin make elaborate preparations for their wedding. But Miles has an enemy who is plotting to turn the romantic ceremony into a festival of death.

Tehani and I continue our voyage into Lois McMaster Bujold's Miles-land, in a conversational review utterly replete with spoilers. TEHANI: It seemed logical to do the whole omnibus at once this time. We had both raced ahead of ourselves, more interested in reading the books than reporting on them, and before we knew it, Komarr, A Civil Campaign and "Winterfair Gifts" were all done! These three works are very strongly tied though, with the arc of the love story between Miles and Ekaterin, so itThis is one of five omnibus volumes incorporating most of the novels and short stories in the "Vorkosigan Saga" by Bujold. It can loosely be described as Space Opera although the series often blends genres. Often (as signaled by Miles, Mystery & Mayhem) mystery, usually action adventure, and in this one definitely romance. Not that Miles hasn't had his love interests in previous books--but here romance is more the focus, although if you're looking for romance-aisle fare, you're in the wrong
A Civil Campaign was laugh out loud funny. It was great seeing Miles not have things go his own way and find someone strong enough to match him instead of being pulled along in his wake. I am beginning to have some issues with how the author applies human sexuality in this world. My sister pointed it out to me, and once she did it was hard not to notice. It permeates choices and plot movements throughout the whole series. It feels like what our world could be if we have the scientific advances;
Full of warm fuzzy feelings. Exactly what I needed after reading Mirror Dance.
This is an omnibus edition, containing the novels Komarr and A Civil Campaign, as well as the novella Winterfair Gifts. As I work my way through the Vorkosigan novels, it's the only omnibus available for Kindle that made sense for me to buy.If I had to rate them individually, I'd give Komarr 4 stars, A Civil Campaign 5 stars and Winterfair Gifts a weak 4 stars.Komarr, for me, was a slighly above-average entry into the Vorkosgian saga. What made it above-average was that it seemed to be headed in
Rereading some favs from the Vorkosigan series (Komarr, A Civil Campaign, and a novella). A Civil Campaign was the first one I read, back in June, 2004.Just as much fun as the first time around!And, rereading Komarr again in July 2014, purely escapist in the midst of moving--and, enjoyed it again, just as much!Rereading during nursing, January and February 2017. Still good, especially when one is just looking for a fun read.July 2019--Reread most of Komarr and bits of Civil Campaign during
Miles Gets MarriedThis is set during the wedding of Miles and Ekaterin. The tale actually is about Miles almsman and Sergeant Taurus.Three stars
