I read Cryoburn by Bujold. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't GREAT. I've been calling Bujold my favorite author for years, but she seems to have lost some of the magic. Mirror Dance and Memory were the pinnacle of the Vorkosigan series. It's been merely good since then. And Paladin of Souls is her most recent truly great book. So if I don't think she's writing masterpieces anymore, is she still my favorite? Though, counting the first two Sharing Knife books as one book, I do consider it a great book. Separately, not so much. Splitting was wrong.
Miles' most exciting conflict was right at the beginning when he was hallucinating. Roic was a boring POV character; I really did not care about him. Jin was OK—I liked the animals stuff—but not great. I liked the reversal when they revived the wrong corpse (except they never used pictures of her to verify?), but then they found the right one very easily.
I did like the understated way she rejected the white knight who was going to swoop her off to safety and instead was interested in the guy who was taking care of her kids (for a few days, at least).
