Well, with the Ivan book, Ivan has made a lifetime out of staying on the fringes if he possibly can, and purposefully keeping himself out of the way by preventing himself from having a stake in things. So of course that would have an effect on his book.

Cordelia is different. She has lots of stake in lots of things, though not always obviously.

There is no excuse for Miles.

He's just a nosy busybody who can't keep his hands to himself. If there is anything interesting going on within a wormhole's jump of him, and he catches even a whiff of it, he's going to stick his nose in and try and fix things or at least arrange them to his satisfaction. That's always been him. That's the whole plot of Warrior's Apprentice, Cetaganda, and Cryoburn in a nutshell.
