Synopsis

This Hugonominated novella adds a delightful extra chapter to Bujolds acclaimed Vorkosigan series. Falling in between the novels A Civil Campaign and Diplomatic Immunity, it describes the wedding of Miles and Ekaterin and the events leading up to it. In the festive season of Winterfair on the planet Barrayar, Lord Miles Vorkosigan is making elaborate preparations for his wedding. The longawaited event stirs up romance and intrigue among his eccentric family and friends, particularly for bioengineered space mercenary Sergeant Taura and shy, diffident Armsman Roic. But Miles also has an enemy who is plotting to turn the romantic ceremony into a festival of death. Winterfair Gifts offers another of Bujolds witty, charactercentered science fiction plots with a twist of romance.

Goodreads review by Justine

This novella is basically an epilogue to the previous book, A Civil Campaign, narrated from the perspective of Armsman Roic.
