The Dorksogian books continue to grow on me! I've skipped around in the series and yes - Miles is a horribly unreliable narrator and it's actually getting very disturbing in a good way. (Rather than just run of the mill disturbing, as it was when Miles's nanny suddenly snapped and tortured some pilot and then you find out his Dark Secret... and yet it seemed run of the mill...)
Now reading just the beginning of "Memory", suddenly the scales fall from my eyes and the series is a harsh critique of masculinity, war, torture... it's very John L3Carre... "deep cover", spies, and lies, oh my!
Heh. Memory is a doozy of a book.

Have you read the Cordelia books yet? They'll explain A LOT about Miles's Nanny.
I love the description of "Memory" on the Vorkosigan Timeline: Miles hits thirty. Thirty hits back.
