I was shocked at the time, but in retrospect... the whole book was really a lead-up to that moment. Like, step by step. With diagrams. And I missed it anyway. Arg!
I guess it kind of was, but I never in a million years would have thought she'd kill him off-screen, without even one scene in the book where he appears alive. SADNESS.
Yes, I liked this one a weensy bit better than DI, although to be fair, I don't really remember DI, just that I didn't like it.
Uhhhh, if LMB has an anti-prequel prejudice, she sure didn't for the first six books of the series. Check out the copyright dates at her Wikipedia article, especially for Barrayar. I still have hope!
Awwww, it becomes a real book, just like Pinocchio turns into a real boy!
