Description In Pursuance Of 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.

I really enjoyed this series! Great story and nice character development and interactions. A lot to be learned about prejudices and trying to overcome them for the good of the whole.

THis is the third book in Bujold's Dag and Fawn series and to my mind the best. Bujold is a fine writer and she has created a very interesting world. Dag is a Lakewalker exile and Fawn is his farmer wife. In earlier volumes in this series we learned that Lakewalkers, are hunters of evil Malices. The Malices are demons/aliens who kill and enslave people and grow and grow eating people's souls. The Malices cannot be killed by ordinary humans. The Lakewalkers discovered that if you stab a Malice

In all of the three books I've managed to read so far, Louis has managed to add something new to the story, some new twist, new protagonists, new surroundings. The only downside I could find for this one was that the heroes had it a bit to easy. And that Fawn is a little too clever for her age. But it was still interesting and captivating reading

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.

AudiobookI keep forgetting how young Fawn is. I like how the Lakewalkers aren't shown as completely good and the farmers mostly bad. Sad middle imagining what happened to the father and the rest of the crew. Enjoyable book/series. I'm planning on reading more of the series.
