Book Reviews of Passage (The Sharing Knife, Book 3)

Book Review: A solid continuation
Summary: 5 Stars

The third novel in the Sharing Knife series is a solid and entertianing continuation. This book follows the travels of Fawn and Dag from Dag's lakewalker camp down what is basicly the Ohio river to the ocean. They introduce several new characters and Dag learns more about both the extent of his powers and of the extent of the tension between the lakewalkers and farmers.

The joy in these novels is the way that Bujold can write such an entertaining and novel and keep up tension in what is mostly domestic situations. Her accoplishment with these novels reminds me of the camp sceanes that dominate the Lord of the Rings. As much as everyone remembers the big battle sceanes it is the time around the campfire and the characters cooking and telling stories that really held those novels together.

The novel ends with another small battle with a resolution that was both suprising and a little bit disurbing, and as always Bujold doesn't shy away from the questions that come as a result. Overall this is an excellent book that leaves me looking foward to the next one.

Summary of Passage (The Sharing Knife, Book 3)

Acclaimed science fiction and fantasy writer Lois McMaster Bujold—five-time winner of the Hugo Award—brings us the third installment in her New York Times bestselling romantic fantasy

The Sharing Knife, Volume Three: Passage

Young Fawn Bluefield and soldier-sorcerer Dag Redwing Hickory have survived magical dangers and found, in each other, love and loyalty. But even their strength and passion cannot overcome the bigotry of their own kin, and so, leaving behind all they have known, the couple sets off to find fresh solutions to the perilous split between their peoples.

But they will not journey alone. Along the way they acquire comrades, starting with Fawn's irrepressible brother Whit, whose future on the Bluefield family farm seems as hopeless as Fawn's once did. Planning to seek passage on a riverboat heading to the sea, Dag and Fawn find themselves allied with a young flatboat captain searching for her father and fianc?, who mysteriously vanished on the river nearly a year earlier. They travel downstream, hoping to find word of the missing men, and inadvertently pick up more followers: a pair of novice Lakewalker patrollers running away from an honest mistake with catastrophic consequences; a shrewd backwoods hunter stranded in a wreck of boats and hopes; and a farmer boy Dag unintentionally beguiles, leaving Dag with more questions than answers about his growing magery.

As the ill-assorted crew is tested and tempered on its journey to where great rivers join, Fawn and Dag will discover surprising new abilities both Lakewalker and farmer, a growing understanding of the bonds between themselves and their kinfolk, and a new world of hazards both human and uncanny.
