DESCRIPTION:
Read by Bernadette DunneFilled with magic, heroism, and all-too-human characters, Bujold's 'Sharing Knife' saga is both a gripping adventure and a poignant romance. -- 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. 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.

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.

They're set in a very real landscape (along what we know as the Ohio and MIssis. Characters are so engaging that you forget to look behind the curtain. ArtistEye The characters are engaging, as is the dialogue, flirty, ironic, sometimes tongue-in-cheek. The two cultures — farmer and Lakewalker — were fairly well-detailed, and the misunderstandings between them seem consistent with the internal logic of their economies and histories. However, the history is a bit of a problem. Vague, lost in the mists of time, forgottenDoesn't quite satisfy a curious reader. At least, it is not clear to this reader why it took a millenia for the two groups to start talking to one another, considering tha.
