1. Bujold does not know how Japanese names and honorifics work. This is very jarring, because I do know.

2. I don't think that crisis midway through actually made sense. I feel like all Miles' research would have turned up some photographs at some point.

3. That was an EXTREMELY sudden romance.

4. AGH VERY LAST SENTENCE

1. Somehow I am...not surprised. *sigh*

Yeah, I accept that it can be hard to parse out the usage of honorifics on casual study, but, um, that's what human resources are for, yeah? Or else what not using them is for. *sighs*

*grins* The last sentence, yeah. I heart the fact that this really is exactly the situation described books and books ago, but that was a definite moment of AAAAUGH.

The ending made me cry, even though the honorifics made me roll my eyes.

I knew it was coming from spoilers ten years ago, I knew it was coming when other people said they cried, I knew it was coming when I saw him in full uniform ...

... and I cried. Both times reading it, and then again when reading it to safe the book for someone who knows what's coming but can't read it yet (she's not over an event in her own family) and then when reading that fic about that day on Sergyar (GRAAAAAAAAANDCHILDREN, PICTURES OF GRANDCHILDREN) and my voice gets wibbly when talking about it, and I'm misting up even writing this now.
