À propos de cet audio

 This Hugo-nominated novella adds a delightful extra chapter to Bujold's acclaimed Vorkosigan series. Falling in between the novels A Civil Campaign and Diplomatic Immunity, it describes the wedding of Miles and Ekaterin and the events leading up to it.

In the festive season of Winterfair on the planet Barrayar, Lord Miles Vorkosigan is making elaborate preparations for his wedding. The long-awaited event stirs up romance and intrigue among his eccentric family and friends, particularly for bioengineered space mercenary Sergeant Taura and shy, diffident Armsman Roic. But Miles also has an enemy who is plotting to turn the romantic ceremony into a festival of death.

Winterfair Gifts offers another of Bujold's witty, character-centered science-fiction plots with a twist of romance.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Miles is one of the most enjoyable characters in science fiction." ( School Library Journal)

Les plus pertinents
Not as good a stand-alone as most of the books are. Much richer meaning if you have read the other books too. Komarr and Barrayar at the least, with the Novella “Labyrinth” found in The Mountains of Mourning for the most pertinent backstory, plus the novel Mirror Dance to flesh in a bit more.
If you’ve read that much, you’ll probably be devouring or have already consumed the rest of the available stories and this will be a marvellous sweet treat.
If you’re one of the rare few that have read the recommended backstory and not felt the need to read everything else then perhaps you won’t enjoy this as much as I did.
I hope you do find that joy in other books. It’s such a pleasure to dive into another world with your whole heart

A lovely interlude for fans of the series
