Note: I believe I am the only person on the face of the earth who hated this book. If you liked it, this review will annoy you. Also, be advised that there will be spoilers for what we might loosely term the plot in what follows. This book suffers from three main problems: 1. A fascinating world that gets built in the first few pages and then utterly abandoned in favor of 2. An amazingly unengaging, unbelievable romance between a typical Bujold guy and 3. Mary Sue The thing is, this is actually a so Note: I believe I am the only person on the face of the earth who hated this book. Mary Sue The thing is, this is actually a solid fantasy world; it had the potential to be as interesting as The Sharing Knife one Bujold created in The Curse of Chalion, and maybe in future books it will be. Which is not all that great, in my opinion, or even tolerable. I love romance FF. But I'm not a good romance reader; I tend to choke on emotion, and an author has to be The Sharing Knife to get me seriously invested in a relationship. Even if I loved romances, I think I'd choke on this one. Among, you know, other notable events. Most people would be too distracted by these events to breathenever mind fall in love. And our hero, Dag - intelligent, highly talented, The Sharing Knife older and more knowledgeable and talented than Fawn, with a Tragic Past and a Great Lost Love The Sharing Knife meets and falls in love with Fawn despite a having steadfastly refused all romance since the Great Lost Love, b being emotionally distant and embittered, c having absolutely nothing in common with Fawn, and d being old enough and smart enough to know better. For a person like Dag to fall in love - well, I could buy it, but it would have to take months or years, not days. There'd need to be some build, is my point, and not just a shortcut to heat coiling The Sharing Knife his belly at her touch. And Fawn - she's adorable, cheerful, industrious, sweet, resilient, essentially flawless, and utterly uninteresting. In other words: hello, Mary Sue! I think I first suspected that she was a Mary Sue when, in the first couple of pages, I was told that she has long, lovely, bouncing curls even though she has been living rough. I have curly hair. Trust me when I tell you that after a few nights of sleeping in haystacks and a few days of hard travel, it would be a giant matted mess attractive only to birds seeking a nesting spot. Only Mary Sues have hair that stays gorgeous under such circumstances. But, look, I'm not just judging her on the hair. Fawn has so many other traits Industry despite major illness! Open-mindedness despite being raised in an utterly closed-minded culture! Cheerful acceptance of everything! Adored by all who meet her! This book does display Bujold's very competent writing. And I have a vague, distant hope that a future The Sharing Knife of the series will explain the weird romance - maybe it's unnatural or magical in origin? If you can buy into the romance, you'll love this book. If you can't, you'll want to stab something while you read this, because the romance is all this book is. I The Sharing Knife, in good conscience, recommend this The Sharing Knife anyone, but I will say that many people seem to love it. Just - oh my god, so very much not for me. View all 24 comments. The Sharing Knife 17, carol. Shelves: female-leadfantasyskimmedyuck. I cry foul! I thought Bujold wrote sophisticated fantasies in interesting worlds Hugo winner? We follow a pregnant farm girl who has left home with the half-formed intention of seeking a new life in the city, when she's captured by a The Sharing Knife really?? Thankfully, a member of the Native American Lakewalker tribe patrol is on the track of said mud-men and the malice. He saves her, they take The Sharing Knife, she's stolen again when he leaves! Believe me, I'm spoiling nothing, as this takes place in the first 60 pages and is utterly predictable. The rest of the story is about discovering their love and commitment Against Outside Forces, to the Dismay of their Families. Ah, the timelessness of Romeo and Juliet. The fantasy world setting and the Evil Forces are forgotten as we zero in on their burgeoning relationship. In fact, it's a vaguely creepy, as it takes place between a worldly, widowed 55 year-old man and a naive 18 year-old farm girl, and of course involves The Sharing Knife her about The Joys of Sex, titillating any eleven-year olds reading. But don't worry about the age difference--his people are long-lived calling Edward The The Sharing Knife positive--he's differently abled, as he has only one hand. Oh, and he's tall and thin; she's short and round forgive me, oh Librarian, but The Sharing Knife heard "jack sprat" echo in the background once I The Sharing Knife their descriptions. Normally, I wouldn't even rate a book like this, except it was so dismally envisioned and written that I can only surmise an evil Doppelganger has taken Bujold's place and is endeavoring to destroy her reputation. As a public service I'm sharing my thoughts, in hopes of steering you towards--oh, I don't know. Go pick something from your TBR pile. If you are truly in the mood for some fantasy-world, naive-female romance, skip this and read a more original fantasy version, Winds of Fate. At least the characters are more sophisticated in their development, and the world-building deeper, and better integrated. View all 32 comments. As one of the later books in that series, it was definitely the wrong place to start and left me rather puzzled and at sea. But then I discovered Cordelia's Honor and fell in love with both Cordelia and Aral, and dove into all the Miles books afterwards--one of the great SF series, seriously-- and then I finished and thought, what next? So it turned out that Bujold has written The Sharing Knife fantasy books along the way. The Sharing Knife Series by Lois McMaster Bujold Flurries of action early on, devolving into stock fantasy-romance; overall, just about noteworthy enough to bring readers Young farm girl Fawn Bluefield, pregnant and unmarried, runs away from home, hoping The Sharing Knife find work in the town of Glassforge. Just as Dag arrives, the malice rips out of Fawn her unborn child. Dag has two knives, but only one of them is charged; as Fawn stabs the malice with the uncharged one, Dag kills the creature with the other. This unprecedented development must be reported to Lakewalker headquarters; after Fawn recovers, they hit the road. A tasty, if not always tasteful, tale of supernatural mayhem that fans of King and Crichton alike The Sharing Knife enjoy. Are we not men? We are—well, ask Bigfoot, as Brooks does in this delightful yarn, following on The Sharing Knife bestseller World War Z A zombie apocalypse is one thing. Taking up our resources, our time to care for you. In the northern U. It turns The Sharing Knife this road trip is merely the beginning of a series of bizarre chimerical adventures ensnaring both the Turner and Dandridge clans in ancient rituals, arcane magical texts, alternate universes, and transmogrifying potions, all of which bears some resemblance to the supernatural visions of H. Lovecraft and other gothic dream makers of the past. Already have an account? Log in. Trouble signing in? Retrieve credentials. Sign Up.

Cordelia is the most competent female protagonist I can remember in one of the most enjoyable books. A phenomenal success. Bujold's Barrayar series has it all. Her best book yet. On the high ridges the fog showed brighter as the morning sun began to warm and lift the moisture, although in Cordelias Honor ravine Cordelias Honor cool, soundless dimness still counterfeited a pre-dawn twilight. Commander Cordelia Naismith glanced at her team botanist and adjusted the straps of her biological collecting equipment a bit more comfortably before continuing her breathless climb. She pushed a long tendril Cordelias Honor fog-dampened copper hair out of her eyes, clawing it impatiently toward the clasp at the nape of her neck. Their next survey area would definitely be at a lower altitude. The gravity of this planet was slightly lower than Cordelias Honor home world of Beta Colony, but it did not quite make up for the physiological strain imposed by the thin mountain air. Denser vegetation marked the upper boundary of the forest patch. Following the splashy path of the ravine's brook, they bent and scrambled through the living tunnel, then broke into the open air.

  • Disability, Literature, Genre: Representation and Affect in Contemporary Fiction REPRESENTATIONS: H E a LT H , DI SA BI L I T Y, CULTURE and SOCIETY
    Disability, Literature, Genre: Representation and Affect in Contemporary Fiction REPRESENTATIONS: H E A LT H , DI SA BI L I T Y, CULTURE AND SOCIETY Series Editor Stuart Murray, University of Leeds Robert McRuer, George Washington University This series provides a ground-breaking and innovative selection of titles that showcase the newest interdisciplinary research on the cultural representations of health and disability in the contemporary social world. Bringing together both subjects and working methods from literary studies, film and cultural studies, medicine and sociology, ‘Representations’ is scholarly and accessible, addressed to researchers across a number of academic disciplines, and prac- titioners and members of the public with interests in issues of public health. The key term in the series will be representations. Public interest in ques- tions of health and disability has never been stronger, and as a consequence cultural forms across a range of media currently produce a never-ending stream of narratives and images that both reflect this interest and generate its forms. The crucial value of the series is that it brings the skilled study of cultural narratives and images to bear on such contemporary medical concerns. It offers and responds to new research paradigms that advance understanding at a scholarly level of the interaction between medicine, culture and society; it also has a strong commitment to public concerns surrounding such issues, and maintains a tone and point of address that seek to engage a general audience.
