Cryoburn

Bujold, Lois McMaster
Miles is on Kibou-daini to check out cryostasis corporations. I would like to know more about Nefertiti, the pet sphinx.

Words I Had To Look Up:

defenestrating (pg. 23)-- I ran across this word TWICE in the last book I read, but forgot to enter it. I'm SURE I've looked it up before, though. I ALSO just saw it in the current book I'm reading, which is book two of the book I read before this one, FYI. Oh, defenestration is the act of throwing someone (or something) out of a window. Good to know!

Cordelia (Vicereine of Sergyar) makes a new life for herself some years after her husband Aral passes away.

Quote:

"Sucks some days, to have all these boys with guns and not be allowed to shoot anybody. It could be so cathartic."

Quote:

"Blurf...?" said Cordelia, her eyes springing wide.

Quote:

How did a man manage to be both gormless and patronizing simultaneously?

Quote:

"Er...what exactly do you mean by dating? In this context."
"Screwing, dear," Cordelia replied, in her flattest Betan tones.
"...Ah." He added after a moment, "Thank you for the clarification."
