Rendition 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: (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] 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. Art credit: http://pre09.deviantart.net/b043/th/p...

Write-Up Epithetical Books Horizon (The Sharing Knife #4)

There are some fairly negative rewiews of this book. They claim it's a filler, unnecessary, and weaker than othher books in the series. I must disagree. A someone who followed the story closely, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I t does have it's flaws, there are several deus ex moments, but it was pealasnt and enjoyable reading through and through.

Oh, it was going so well!Until near the end. Fawn got SO short-changed. She flippin' changes a sharing knife into a sharing crossbow bolt on the battle field in the dark against a FLIPPIN' FLYING MALICE, and what does the narrative leave us with? Her being buried alive out of some Lakewalker patroller's ugly, ugly jealousy, and Dag's suffering at almost losing her. WHY IS NO ONE ASKING HER ABOUT HOW SHE REMADE THE WEAPON like they're asking Dag and Arkady about the ground shields?? Why is the

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

First, let me say that I am a Bujold fangirl, but not an uncritical one. I like some of the things she's done much more than I like other things. That's ok. I don't demand that a writer cater to my needs universally, or be consistently excellent (although I'd like that, of course).The first book in this series tore at my heart because of personal connection. The last one was... boring. I suspect that I would like this series a lot better if it were two books instead of four. I can't argue with

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

This series could have been so much better if it was less about the romance and more about...everything else. The malices/mud-men/mages and all the back story with the Lakewalkers and their magic and whatnot was really compelling. The world was really interesting, and a lot was made of how dangerous the north is but we never get anything except for a vague reference to the character Dag's time spent up there. The whole story with how the Lakewalkers essentially need two deaths to be shaped into

The final volume in this four-book fantasy series with a romance hook. There were many times I considered giving up on this book, because nothing happens for about 3/4 of the story. The central couple, who married at the end of book 1, adore and perfectly understand one another and there is never any conflict between them. An endless parade of secondary characters are introduced to the point it's hard to keep them all straight. It wasn't until I was about halfway through that I finally put my
