New Bujold a-comin'!

[nlbarber]

Almost time for The Sharing Knife: Horizon, the fourth and last planned book in the Wide Green World series by Lois Bujold. I've had an ARC since early October and have re-read it 3 times or more--I really like it, perhaps better than the other 3 WGW books. (Though Passage, #3, is a close runner-up.)

Until January 27 the entire text of the first WGW book, Beguilement, is up at Harper Collins. And the first 80 pages or so of Horizon is too--spread the word!

And if you read the sample and are frustrated by the cut-off point in the middle of a sentence, Lois has posted the remainder of that paragraph to give you a little closure.

I am so jealous of the ARC. I got one of The Hallowed Hunt, but none since. I've read the online excerpt, though, and like you, I think the series has improved with each book.

I think my ranking would be #4, #3, #1, and #2. I really disliked the grim tone of so much of Legacy, along with getting incensed (along with the young patrollers) about how Dag's camp credit is seized from him. Which is much more my feelings about the stories than a judgment about the "quality" of the books.
