Narrative Toward Books Passage (The Sharing Knife #3)

This is the third book in Bujold's SHARING KNIFE western frontier-flavored fantasy series. We're finally getting away from relationship drama here, as the plot takes our main characters, Dag and his wife Fawn, along with Fawn's sometimes callow brother Whit, down the Mississippi Grace River to the sea, experiencing life on a flatboat with a few adventures along the way. There are some interesting hints that this is an alternate version, or perhaps a post-apocalyptic version, of our world. Dag is still trying to figure out his magical powers and how to bridge the gap of suspicion and misunderstanding between his people, the Lakewalkers, and Fawn's, the non-magical farmers. It's a rather leisurely trip down the river, with a few sandbars and shoals but not much in the way of rapids, both physically and metaphorically speaking. The pace doesn't really pick up until the last quarter of the book, about a hundred pages from the end(view spoiler)[, when our characters need to try to take out some river bandits, and Dag finds a rather alarming new way to use his powers (hide spoiler)]. But Bujold writes well, and the river journey storyline and characters kept my interest. I'm not big on May-December romances, and this is a major one, but I can forgive a lot where the issue isn't glossed over and the book actually deals with the difficulties that their relationship creates ... although here the biggest stumbling block isn't the age difference between Dag and Fawn (which is substantial -- she's about 19 and he's in his 40s, I believe) but the problems inherent in a mixed marriage between a farmer and a Lakewalker. Also, I think the overall story has been improved by not having their romance be the focus of the novel: their relationship is a very minor subplot here. The main focus is on their relationships with the people around them, the mistrust between the Lakewalker people and the farmers, and Dag's developing magical skills. I'll read the last book in the series, though unless the overall pace picks up I'm liable to do a little skimming. ETA: The last book was actually excellent, so if you've made it this far with the series, it's definitely worth finishing up.

Notice Of Books Passage (The Sharing Knife #3)

This was better than the second one, I felt the characters and background were more interesting. The research that went into the river boats was fascinating, and I enjoyed the author's note on her sources.

Passage was a great follow up to both Beguilement and Legacy. Dag and Fawn's journey is entertaining and eye opening. The world building is nothing short of awesome. The Lakewalker mythology, while very intricate, is completely understandable and the writing is simply enchanting. The relationship between Dag and Fawn continues to evolve as they settle into married life, though much of the romance is put on the backburner in this story and it focuses more on Farmer/Lakewalker relations.

I enjoyed this book more than the first two installments of this series. Bujold masterfully added to the cast of diverse characters throughout the course of the book in interesting and enjoyable ways. The plot pacing is good and the river setting is a treat.

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.

Second read 5/12/16The thing that struck me the most on my reread (listen) of this book is just how complex Dag is. He's learning to deal with his past, learning about himself as he slowly changes into a new Dag (yet is still somehow himself), and learning both about and how to deal with others in ways he never needed before. I'm not so much sucked into the plot as I am sucked into Dag's progression. Even the tiniest things, like him ground-ripping oats, seem fascinating and intense.Once again,

I keep on reading Bujold's Sharing Knife books, because I keep on expecting Bujold to suddenly stop sucking and go back to being awesome.This is not the book in which she does that, and yet...To be honest, the problem with these books is not that they're bad, but rather that they're by Bujold, and they're not very good. I described them to Karen H. as a good book to take along on a long bus ride if you wanted to get your knitting done. However, I think if you took this book on a long bus ride,

Book three in this romance-fantasy quartet with the cross-cultural marriage. Okay, maybe . . . maybe there's a reason you don't see much midwestern-influenced fantasy out there?Wait, no, I'm being cheap. See, here's the thing:Dag said more slowly, "He was just an ordinary patroller, before his knife got broken. But if ordinary folks can't fix the world, it's not going to get fixed. There are no lords here. The gods are absent."Putting aside that this is an incredibly disingenuous thing for Dag
