Passage (The Sharing Knife: Volume 3) by Lois McMaster Bujold

The third in a four book series, Passage continues the story of Lakewalker Dag and farmer Fawn, as they seek to find a way for themselves thats not quite of either of their peoples. 

To quickly sum up the first two books, Dag and Fawn save each other from a malice - an evil, quickly evolving, mind-controlling creature - fall in love, and get married.  However, its against Lakewalker law to marry a farmer - read: non-magic type.  Thus they end up on the road seeking a way between their two people.

Moving on, Dag is discovering here-to-fore unknown strength and abilities with his groundsense - magic - and having issues with some of the ethical ramifications of what he's doing, as some of it seems similar to how malice's operate.

Long story short, its an interesting take on magic, with some good action-adventure thrown in and a constant romantic undercurrent.  I read all three this week, and plan on getting the fourth soon.  If all-out action is what you're looking for, maybe not the book for you, but if you want some strong characters that grow throughout each book, and don't mind the romantic overtones, then this is a good series to pick up.

Overall Rating: 4 / 5
