None. also ARC,not high fantasy,Amazon received  romsfuulynn | Apr 28, 2013 |  L.M. Bujold writes such lovely books. Her fantasy novels are a must for any true fan of the genre. (  ) ElizabethConard | Apr 5, 2013 | I think this is the best one of the series so far--and she definitely left it open for more books. This world is really interesting, and in this book the focus is a little less on Fawn and Dag (WHY does he have to be named that?) and their Forever Love, and more on other aspects of how their two societies mix. Plus, the old classic float-down-the-big-river-and-stuff-happens plotline (really it's just a variation on "Road Trip", which is probably the oldest plotline in literature) is an old classic for a reason. ( ) JenneB | Apr 2, 2013 | This was actually a little more fantasy than romance, although it's still much more character development than action. (Apparently the first two volumes were intended as one book, which explains some of their pacing issues, and this was written from the start as a single volume.) It hung together for me much better than the previous two, although it's still a leisurely book. (  ) JeremyPreacher | Mar 30, 2013 | I liked this quite a bit better than the first two in this series. The characters take to the river, and the setting adds a lot of interest and character to the tale. I'm still not finding the degree of emotional depth or intellectual challenge I did in the Chalion series or the humor and pathos of Vorkosigan, but the charm of this world is starting to get through to me.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0061375330, Hardcover)[MP3CD audiobook format in vinyl case.][Read by Bernadette Dunne] 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. (retrieved from Amazon Thu, 14 Feb 2013 13:34:29 -0500) Unable to overcome the bigotry of their own families in spite of the numerous hardships they have shared, Fawn and Dag set out to find alternative solutions to the perilous rift between their races, during which they acquire such motley companions as a pair of novice Lakewaker patrollers, a magically beguiled farmer boy, and a young riverboat captain.… (more) |
