Summary

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 second volume, Fawn Bluefield, the clever farm girl, and Dag Redwing Hickory, the seasoned Lakewalker soldier-sorcerer, are newly married. Their arrival at Dag's home on Hickory Lake Camp is met with prejudice and suspicion, as many in the camp deny the literal bond between Dag and Fawn, woven in blood in the Lakewalker magical way.

Then Dag is called away by an unexpected and vicious malice attack on a neighboring hinterland, threatening Lakewalkers and farmers both. What his patrol discovers there will not only change Dag and his new bride but will call into question the uneasy relationship between their peoples—and may even offer hope of a less divided future.

Don't miss the first volume, Beguilement.

Beautiful writing, a novel to savour

Just so good. Sweet, challenging, thought provoking. A fantasy world that is utterly believable and real. And as always stunningly well written.

The Sharing Knife books unfold at a different pace from the Vorkosigan and Chalion/Five gods books. But they are wonderful in their own way.

Enjoyable tale

An enjoyable listen, read beautifully. I like the "world" concept of the book and found the characters engaging. I enjoyed the juxtaposition of the different cultures and the hints at the distant past and its effect on the present. The romance feels quite well handled, although I am not generally a fan of too many intimate romantic details in adventure stories.
