Mirror Dance

by Lois McMaster Bujold

ONE LINE SUMMARY: Mark, Miles’s clone, meets his parents for the first time, and attempts to destroy Jackson’s Whole.

This is gripping, sad, and exciting. Poor Mark gets horribly tortured, and I cried a few times. Interestingly, we spend much of this book from Mark’s point of view, and…Miles Vorkosigan? Not such a hot shit anymore. In fact, we finally see Miles as the somewhat insane hyperactive that the rest of the world sees.

This is terrific, but one that requires some space and distance before re-reading.
