Miles Vorkosigan

"I saved the dirt." - Lord Miles Vorkosigan to his future wife in Komarr.

I have issues. Yes, I do. But at least I'm trying to work through them, now. And I can finally relax after three weeks of none stop stress and work.

Have been reading Lois McMaster Bujold. In the past two days have gone through Komarr, A Civil Campaign and Memory. Imperial Auditor Miles Vorkosigan is like no other fictional character I have ever encountered before. In a completely good way. He's complex, intelligent, and damn blind at times. But the man tries damn hard. There's just so many things about the dwarf that I adore to bits. And let's not forget the rest of the cast. Mile's amazing parents, The Count and Countess Aral Vorkosigan and Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan. You can't help but respect the Count, but it's Cordelia that you want to please. Oh, and Simon Illyan! How can anyone NOT like the old man. Over 50 years of intrigue and running an intelligence agency with a questionable inheritance of office system. LOVE!

And lastly, Lord Mark Vorkosigan. What can you say about Mark that wouldn't be highly conflicting and coming out sounding wrong? Mark is Miles legal brother, though he is Miles' clone. Raised as a weapon against the Vorkosigan and being forced to be like Miles and not himself.... Mark have a Thing when it comes to Miles. Not the friendly thing, but more like a hate Thing though that does get resolved. Despite everything, you can't help but love the fat (a way to deal), greedy (successful), little (in order to look like Miles) man.

LOVE this SERIES!!!!!

*runs off to read Paladin of Souls*

[EDIT: And I can't believe I had forgotten Ivan "You idiot" Vorpatril. LOVE the MAN! LOVE! Even if he's forever stuck in the phase of 16-yr-old teenager. But how can you not love a man who's just so idiotically likable (but seriously he isn't stupid, Ivan have moments of sheer brilliance, it is just that he's an idiot).]
