Not that great Amazon Customer This was not the best companion book I've ever had. I didn't have the errors mentioned in a previous review so the print run must have been corrected (for those who still want the book). Other companion books have had maps and pictures to flesh out the stories. This book only has a 'map' of the planets and their relativity in space. What about Barrayar, or Sergyar, or other planets where the characters covered wide areas? Where are the different areas in relation to each other? Or floor plans of Vorkisigan House so that we can see the Great Butter Bug Battle? How about a picture of Taura? Or the bubble chair of the Cet. "for Vorkosigan-a-holic" according to Daniela Mancuso. This book is for for poeple who can't help but reading everything related to Miles, Barrayar and the Vorkosigan saga in general. Considering the long-lasting abstinence from newly published novels, it is a good opportunity to learn more things about the Vorkosiverse and its genealogy. Above all, I appreciated the conversation with Lois. Whilst I hate the drawing on the cover-page. The pronunciation guide is intriguing but hardly understandable for a non english mother-tongue speaker.. Michael Walsh said Hugo Nominee.
