À propos de cet audio

Hugo Award Winner, Best Novel, 1995

The dwarfish, fetally damaged yet brilliant Miles Vorkosigan has more than his share of troubles. Having recently escaped an assassination plot whose tool was a brainwashed clone of himself, Miles has set the clone, Mark, free for a new chance at life. But when he decides to let his clone brother assume his secret identity and lead the Dendarii Free Mercenary on an unauthorized mission to liberate other clones from the outlaw planet of Jackson's Whole, things get really messy.

The mission goes awry, Miles' rescue attempt goes even more wrong, and Miles ends up killed and placed in cryogenic suspension for future resuscitation. Then, as if that weren't bad enough, the cryo-container is lost! Now it is up to the confused, disturbed Mark to either take Miles' place as heir of the Vorkosigan line or redeem himself by finding and saving Miles.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"[A]s good a story as ever was offered as science fiction, with Bujold's carefully crafted prose, logical working out of even minor plot points, and inimitable wit all very much in evidence. Deserves the highest recommendation and a hoard of eager readers." (Booklist)

"[An] intricate and rousing new installment of the Vorkosigan adventures....Bujold creates a tapestry of variegated human societies dispersed throughout a colorful galaxy. She peoples it with introspective but genuine heroes who seize the reader's imagination and intellect." (Publishers Weekly)

Like thee title says. This is one of the few books in the vorkosigan saga not included in audible plus but it is well worth the credit!

Best in series so far!

Mirror Dance is one of my favourites of the Vorkosigan series. It's as much a delight to listen to as it is to read. As a reviewer once said of Lois McMaster Bujold: "Boy, can she write!"

One of my favourites

The performance was great as always. The story… This is the most f**ked up book in the Vorkosigan series. There was a period where I had to stop listening a few times and walk it off. There are also a few scenes of torture, but I’m not concerned about those because it’s so important to the story. I’m not entirely convinced the sexual assault (which is written from the POV of the assaulter) is entirely necessary. The victim is intellectually a child in a grown woman’s body. I imagine it was included to show how much Mark has grown by the end. It’s addressed in the book, but it’s completely excused by Mark’s torturous upbringing. The girl gets no justice. So… I dunno. I don’t feel good about it, but that’s just the way life is. Hurt people hurt people.

Trigger warning: depicts sexual assault on vulnerable persons
