So far I have read this book twice. It is a fascinating expansion of the world of magic and the 5 gods which Bujold visits in The Curse of Chalion and Paladin of the Souls. The plot is complex and layered -- typical of Bujold. I especially appreciate the women of Bujold's books. It is refreshing that women are portrayed with honor, intelligence and courage.
I don't know if she intended this to be a commentary on the quality of God's mercy and compassion, but some of this book hit me with "So that's what it's about" moments hard enough to bring me to tears. This came as a surprise, particularly since she never even touched religion in the entire Vorkosigan series.
I would strongly recommend this book. Whether or not you care about religion, it is a brilliantly written mind bending adventure.
