Publisher Description

Filled with magic, heroism, and all-too-human characters, Bujold’s Sharing Knife saga is both a gripping adventure and a poignant romance. In this third volume, Fawn, the young farm girl, and Dag, the seasoned soldier-sorcerer, set off to find fresh solutions to the perilous split between their peoples and encounter new hazards both human and uncanny.

The farmers and riverfolk have long distrusted the power of the mysterious and aloof Lakewalkers, even though they depend on them for protection from the evil malices. The proud Lakewalkers, meanwhile, have exiled Dag after learning of his marriage to Fawn, the first outsider to be bound to a Lakewalker in their magical way. But as Dag’s natural Lakewalker ability to manipulate “ground energy” begins to develop in dangerous directions, he and Fawn realize that big changes are ahead.

    " We are getting more meat in this story and Fawn is really proving herself to Everyone. Very cool! "

    " This one did not move nearly as fast as the other two I've read thus far. It's still not *bad* but there were more times when I found my mind wandering as she was describing something. The first two books were more compelling, and I read them much faster. On the plus side, I didn't stay up late reading the end of this one, so it was better for my sleep. :) "

    " liked it better than volume 2. Found discussion of "groundwork" and ethics around this quite nice. I'll finish up the series. "

    " OMG! This book is a wonderful addition to the series. Off to book 4 to finish it off. The characters are what make this. If you read this, be prepared to spend hours reading and not wanting it to end. "

    " I can't help but feel that this series is self-indulgent for Bujold. It's so much lighter in feel than most of her work. Always an enjoyable read. "

  • Overall Performance: 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5

    " This is the book I've been waiting for in this series. The romance is background, and the world-building takes centerstage. This book focuses on character and chosen family. It's lovely and sweet, with just the right amount of uncertainty and action. "

    " this one started slow for me, and I thought I wouldn't like it as much as the first two. But I couldn't put down the middle section. Good enough so that I'm not sure of the rating. This is a new book, only long time favorites get a five, but this may get there "

    " This was a fun, light read. I didn't feel it had the same caliber of character development that I am accustomed to from Bujold, but I really enjoyed the juxtaposition of cultures and the value of woman shifting in each. The story was actually secondary to this, for me. "

    " This was better than the second one, I felt the characters and background were more interesting. The research that went into the river boats was fascinating, and I enjoyed the author's note on her sources. "
