Thought this was going to be an adventure book with romance, turns out its a romance book with only a little adventure. Somewhat of a boring romance on top of all that.

I wanted to like it...I love almost anything written by LMB...but it truly was not for me. Though it was well written as usual, I found the theme sooo boring and not appealing at all. I keep telling myself that I should somewhen take it off the shelf and give it another try, but I'd rather re-read other books that have been much more meningful for me.
I'm so sorry, but for me this book was a definite no no

Suggested by shelf talker at Powell’s. Good read. I look forward to reading other LMB books.

I liked this book - sort of. Enough to want to read part two of three. It was an easy read, just what I was looking for to relax after a day of NaNoWriMo focus. Fawn is a little too much the naive and helpless stereotype, and Dag is a little to much the gruff strong and silent type - flawed and needing someone to redeem him. More of a father figure to her it seems. I would have liked more of this Lakewalker magic, there was just enough described to tease. Maybe it's being drawn out for the following books.

I love fantastical senses, and the ground sense depictions were so lush and lovely. Dag's descriptions of Fawn were so, well, fawning and besotted. This author loves to write her couples on treks and adventures.

This was good, but I would have reduced the amount of romance novel in it, but probably a lot of readers like it. Great characters, a well developed world, scary villains, plenty of excitement, but some real slow stretches too.

When I first took out this book, I thought it would have an actual plot. I knew there was romance involved, but if I had known that that's what the ENTIRE BOOK would be about I'm not sure I would have bothered. The only reason it gets two stars instead of one -or none- is because i really enjoyed the Bujold's writing style. And naturally i\I'm going to read the next one, if only to find out the secret with the whole knife shtick.
