Narration Supposing Books Horizon (The Sharing Knife #4)

Eight or more years ago, I bought and read the first book in this series, Beguilement, but never felt particularly motivated to finish the 4-book series until a few weeks ago. It occurred to me that before I let my (expensive non-resident) library card lapse for the next few months, I should grab this series off the library's shelves and plow or skim through it, as the spirit moved me.

The second book was a skimmer for me (I didn't rate or review it because of the amount I skipped over), but the third was good enough that I actually read the whole thing with a fair amount of interest, especially the last part, which really ramped up the intensity. The excitement kind of ramps down again at the start of this fourth and final volume in the series, but I found myself unexpectedly taken with the telling of Dag and Fawn's stay with a camp of Lakewalkers, where Dag can learn from others how to use and control his abilities as a maker and healer. The magical aspects of this were fascinating.

Dag and Fawn are still battling the prejudices that Dag's people, the Lakewalkers, have against Fawn's, the farmers, and vice versa. Specifically, Lakewalkers don't like Dag practicing his healing abilities on farmers. But when a young farmer boy gets lockjaw from stepping on a nail, what's a self-respecting healer to do? And one thing leads to another, and of course Dag and Fawn and their friends aren't finished dealing with the deadly malices that blight their lands. And one malice is of a sort that no one's ever seen before:

This book turned out to be a lot more interesting and exciting than I was expecting. I wasn't sure if Bujold could find a way to wrap up the series that would be both believable and satisfying to me, but she did it. It's definitely my favorite book of this western frontier fantasy series.

Bujold is a very creative and talented author who writes believable characters. I'm not sure if I'd recommend plowing through the entire series unless (a) a frontier era fantasy sounds interesting, and (b) you don't mind a large side helping of May/December romance. But I can tell you that, at least in my opinion, if you do, you won't be disappointed by the ending of the series.

4.5 stars.

Article Epithetical Books Horizon (The Sharing Knife #4)

I have mixed feelings about this series. I HATED the first book; it struck me as an annoying romance. I trust the author, though, so I read the rest of the series and was happily surprised to see how it dealt with so many different issues.Like the Vorkosigan series, the Sharing Knife series contains elements of Midwestern history and culture in her new world. The series is about reconciling cultures and about how the domestic interacts with the extraordinary. It is about the dynamics of power;

So, I will endeavor to review the final book in a series without spoiling the other three.Frankly, I'd hold up The Sharing Knife series as how to do a multi-book romance without plunging into unbelievable melodrama. The 'will they or won't they' is settled in the first book, leaving books 2-4 as a story of a young couple with a 'forbidden' relationship trying to carve a place in the world. Book 4 opens with Dag and Fawn in the south, where the problem of Lakewalkers and farmers is shown in high

The Sharing Knife tetralogy is one any author would be proud to have. The characters are charming, the writing is a thing of beauty, and the world is profoundly fascinating, a kind of fantasy version of the American midwest with mild post-apocalyptic elements. I particularly enjoyed the loving accounts of flatboat sailing and trail riding in the second two books.And yet... it's not quite Bujold's best work. I'd say the issue is two-fold. One, while the characters are generally very fun to read

Basically, I'll review all four books of the Sharing Knife series in this review.I wanted to read some of Bujold's fantasy after reading her fantastic Vorkosigan series. Unfortunately I started with the Sharing Knife series. Coming from the Vorkosigan saga's excellent expression of complex characters and clearly delineated political systems, this series was a disappointment. It has her usual themes from the Vorkosigan series: culture clash, younger woman/older man relationship, women's roles in

Fawn, Dag, and their never-ending beige adventure.

I think I enjoyed this series way more than I should have but it was Bujold/Fantasy/Western and EESH I FELL FOR IT HARD. The first book felt rather labored, and the three following weren't super enthralling unless you're obsessed with the place in time Lois is pulling from. I definitely am. That being said, I was pretty convinced this was a publisher's request as a Twilight response (though obviously with a different spin) but this came out before so I guess not! I haven't read Twilight but I'm

Now at the southern end of their journey, Dag has finally found a teacher who can help him learn more about his strange new powers. Arkady is a groundsetter and he recognizes that Dag, even though he is little trained, can be one too. The problem is find a place for Fawn in the Lakewalker camp where she is seen only as a farmer girl. Dag learns a lot in two months but he doesn't agree with the camp's policy of not providing healing for farmers. When Finch, a young man Fawn has met at the camp
