Yeah, that cover art.

And I was dreading an Ivan-centric book, but this was a very pleasant surprise. I had a blast reading it, and it was a lot better than I thought it was going to be.

(Also, the book before this was Cryoburn, so that's setting the bar way low.)

I thought Cryoburn was pretty good, though it ended on a sad note.

I've heard that LMB was mildly annoyed that there was an explosion on the cover of Komarr when there was only one explosion involved and it was before the book even started, and swore that the only explosions in A Civil Campaign would be fireworks.

That said, while the Captain Vorpatril's Alliance cover is pretty cringeworthy, a lot of the others just seem bland to me.


I really enjoyed Captain Vorpatril's Alliance. I felt like the parallels of Tej's family helped me understand Ivan's relationship with his family a lot better.

The only books of this series I liked were the prequel books. I really liked the mother a lot, so she worked as the heroine for me. And the father was an interesting character. But Miles didn't interest me at all.

[elialshadowpine]

Cordelia is so much like my actual mom, it's scary. I mean, there are actual quotes from Cordelia that are things Mom has said. I wish like hell my father was Aral, though. My actual dad sucks. :(

[philstar22]

Sorry about your dad.

[d_generate_girl]

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I loved CVA. Ivan was delightful, we got more By and Alys and Simon, and Tej/Rish/the Cordonah family were great additions.

[likeadeuce]

Same...I was laughing out loud through much of it, Ivan & Tej are adorable and the Simon plot was amazing.

But oh, yeah, this series has horrendous cover art. I literally try to avoid looking at it.

[elialshadowpine]

I think part of it might be tonal differences in the story. It was Ivan's story. I expected it to be zany, wild, and full of WTF hijinks. Which... is pretty much exactly what CVA is! But if you were expecting the general thoughtfulness that exists in other books in the series even when stuff is zany, yeah, I can see being disappointed. Ivan isn't that way at ALL, unless another character beats him over the head with a clue-stick, so I figured that wouldn't be present.

[litalex]

I thought Captain Vorpatril's Alliance was great; I totally have fun reading it, and I like Ivan a lot more now.
