Gorgeousness. The daemons are perfect for the characters (a hummingbird is much better for Miles than the predictable weasel) and I love the hint at the end that Helen might be the one chosen to carry the coins and not her brother - Gregor seeing in her the seed of a change to Barrayar's rules.
Love, love the idea that Cordelia might take flight again, and Alys being gently. subtly transgressive in her affection for Illyan without anyone daring to correct her.
