We're in Cordelia's head, which is an utter delight; she's acerbic and incisive and realistically grieving. (It's three years since Aral died.) I'm halfway through, and I'm struck by how annoying she finds Miles; she loves him, but as written she doesn't particularly like him. She seems to be much fonder of Ekaterin than of Miles. I have difficulty taking this as anything other than authorial viewpoint.

There are several exposition dumps of "this is what happened in the last nine novels", usually when a character is introduced. I'm not sure whether these are intended for new readers -- IMHO a hopeless cause -- or to remind long-time readers of what's happened.

I can see the action plot coming, but I'm enjoying the day-to-day "running Sergyar" plot.
