Review: Ethan of Athos

Ethan of Athos by Lois McMaster Bujold
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I actually think that this is one of my favorites of the series so far, despite the fact that Miles is essentially not in it. We get glimpses of another post-diaspora splinter human culture, interestingly though somewhat far-fetchedly all-male. We get a dynamic new character with a real arc in Ethan. And we get some depth on Elli - a character who til now has been an extra, but is about to take center stage. Plus a good old-fashioned locked room mystery and some Bondian spy shenanigans.
