Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Ill-chance brought young Fawn Bluefield together with Dag Redwing Hickory, the seasoned soldier-sorcerer, but it was love and loyalty that joined their fates. While their unorthodox marriage has been grudgingly accepted by the clever farm girl's people, Dag's Lakewalker kin are less tolerant, greeting their union with derision, suspicion, and prejudice.
The specter of permanent exile looms above the couple—until a final decision on their lot is diverted by a sudden, viciously magical malice attack on a neighboring hinterland. Sworn to duty, Dag must answer the call, leaving his new bride behind. But what awaits him and his patrol could have serious and unimagined consequences for farmers and Lakewalkers alike, forever altering the lovers, their families, and their world.

In the very first book in the series Bujold put a decent emphasis on both the romance and the action. In this one she veers further to the romance end than is really enjoyable for many. The story features more angst and emotional posing than dynamic clash like readers enjoyed in A Civil Campaign. Not overall a horrible story, but not her best.
Rated by buyers -
A seamless continuation of the very first volume of The Sharing Knife, Book 2 [Legacy] focuses on the rejection of Fawn by her new in-laws. The rejection foregrounds the cultural divisions between the Lakewalkers, with their special abilities, and the Farmers, meaning the rest of humanity. Bridging the chasm between the two cultures develops as the goal for the remaining volumes in the series. Bujold's proficiency with an abundance of characters, settings, and narrative coils in this saga bodes well for its further development.
Rated by buyers -
While book 1 was more fun, book 2 is essential to the story - and book 3 is very fine indeed. Don't skip it! The series is wonderful.
Rated by buyers -
This book is not as good as book one of the trilogy, but is ok.

Lois just writes for me apparently - the person who buys every book she writes and multiple copies as well (mass market and audio.) LMB addiction...
As to this particular work - I'm listening to it now (which makes three times I've "read" it.) As to why I like it: the people are people, the internal logic is consistent, the writing leads you along (willing though I am to go) and doesn't kick you out with bad craft.
I guess the only negative thing I can say is: If the story had ended here without the promise of more books in the series, I would have been angry. It raises as many questions as it answers and doesn't resolve them.
