The concluding volume in the epic fantasy saga from multiple Hugo Award-winning author Lois McMaster Bujold
A Lakewalker entrusted with protecting the populace from terrifying remnants of ancient magic, Dag Redwing Hickory never expected to fall in love with farmer girl Fawn Bluefield. When they joined in marriage, defying their kin, they bridged the perilous split between their peoples. Now Dag’s extraordinary maker abilities have grown—along with his fears about who and what he is becoming, and his frustration with the disdain in which Lakewalker soldier-sorcerers hold their farmer neighbors.
Fawn and Dag’s world is changing, and the traditional Lakewalker practices cannot continue to hold every malice at bay. At the end of their long journey home, the pair must answer the question they’ve grappled with for so long: When the old traditions fail disastrously, can their untried new ways stand against their world’s deadliest foe?

I'd read and loved Bujold's other fantasy series that started with The Curse of Chalion, and found them a great read. I'd call that one High Fantasy, this is a series though that has hints of science-fi...
This final book of the series dragged a bit in the beginning and the middle, but the climax and ending sure made up for it.Still, it's interesting how my feelings about the characters have changed over the course of four books. I really liked Fawn in Beguilement and Legacy, but by the halfway point ...
I know I know, I have been bored for 2 books now and still I read this one. I just wanted to know how it ended. But after having thought about this, it ended as boringly as it went on. Nothing happened at the end either.Right this book then. Dag and Fawn talk --> they talk to other people --> they t...
Last in the Sharing Knife quartet. I like Dag and Fawn and I like the setting and the world, but I miss the twistiness of both Miles and the main characters in the Chalion books. Everyone here is relatively straightforward (RELATIVELY). [July 2011]
This series could have been so much better if it was less about the romance and more about...everything else. The malices/mud-men/mages and all the back story with the Lakewalkers and their magic and whatnot was really compelling. The world was really interesting, and a lot was made of how dangerous...
