I got it today and read it today. The story is a typical Miles romp, but not her best. The end however...is a gut punch.
I'd heard her say that the only reason to write another Miles book was to have Aral die. That the next step on Miles' journey was to become Count. However it seems to me that she really didn't want to do that, so she gave Miles one last adventure before pulling the rug out. I can't imagine how she can send Count-Lord Auditor out on the kind of adventures that Lord Auditor could do.
I hope she proves me wrong -- I love the universe.
