I first started the Vorkosigan books because Alexlit (remember Alexlit?) kept insisting that I'd love it despite the fact that I'd seen them hundreds of times and the blurb never sounded appealing.
It was only after that that I realized that a) I love really good milSF, and b) while only some of the Vorkosigan books are milSF they are right up there with the best milSF out there...it wasn't going to get much better from there. (Then, then I discovered Elizabeth Moon and was happy for another decade
).
