She's smarter, weirder, and hyperkinetic.
And always right.
Drives the old-school navy captain bonkers.
I like her kitty cat.
And the ship's encounter with the dreaded Anime Zone.

The wonderful thing about the Vorkosigan books is that it is never the same book twice. I'll agree with others that it does get better (tho I think Shards/Barryar is pretty darn good.) If you want to try again, pick up Warrior's Apprentice and get acquanted with Miles.
