Why is no one mentioning The Vor Game? I thought it did the best job of carrying through on the main comic theme of the series - Miles bumbling and scheming his way to victory in a universe which seems determined to make him the butt of its jokes.
But the two best books in the series, IMHO, didn't even include Miles as a character - Barrayar and Ethan of Athos.
I agree that The Vor Game is the best exemplar of the comic theme you note, but it just didn't pack quite the emotional punch of Brothers in Arms or Memory.
