I'm much the same as you with Memory, definitely can't read the first chapters when he makes the mistake and makes the decision to lie about it and I hurry through the next bit. After Illyan's office I'm OK (and I do think it's a wonderful book).
I do dread Aral's death. But I would like to see more of Sergyar and him and Cordelia there, and I am hoping that (as has happened before) Bujold thinks of something else entirely to do to people. If there is more Mark and Ivan I will also be pretty happy. But I was surprised when she said there'd be another one as I thought she'd fairly much finished with Miles.
