Lois McMaster Bujold:
I love Miles, flaws and all, as much as it is possible to love a fictional character. However, I find Cordelia the much more compelling character. While Miles’ intelligence is unparalleled, Cordelia has a consistent wisdom that Miles seems to mostly hit at apogee. And, from my point of view, intelligence and critical thinking are major factors in acquiring wisdom. Thoughts?

Thank you for the kind words! Yeah, there are reasons Cordelia's tale bookends the series.
Which is about all I have to say, but others may want to chime in at the comments.
It's interesting to look at the series as a whole in light of the recently read The Heroine's Journey by Gail Carringer, which I reviewed in my My Books section here. Structurally speaking. Because the VK Saga actually doesn't end in the series-expected hero's War to End Wars, and that is very much on purpose.
