Memory – Lois McMaster Bujold
Now that all the main characters have had their ground work laid, Lois is able to concentrate on the plot a little more, at least in my mind. Miles, although only just 30, has suffered heavy tolls on his brittle boned body, through all the battles and scrapes he has survived. ImpSec (Imperial Security) plays a large role in this story, and Miles often finds himself unsure of who to trust.
Gregor, already a fully fledged emperor, decrees that Miles should be made an auditor – the highest and most powerful investigator position possible within Barryar’s realm.
I particularly liked this book, and found most of the plot twists not as predictable as usual.
