I have been waiting for this book for a long time, Loved the first series of the Sharing Knife.
Was hoping for more of the Original characters but I really liked these new ones as well. set some time after the end of the first series. I hope there is more to follow in the world.

Another exceptional novella from one of my favorite authors. The characters are interesting and relatable, and this book focuses much more on their fears and insecurities and responsibilities than on action sequences and is so much better for it.

A little story for a little book. But I'm a sucker for a father daughter story and this one is a good one. I wasn't actually all that interested in a Barr story as a followup, and I certainly was wrong. I'm pretty sure this story would work as a complete standalone, it would certainly contain spoilers but that's what you also get from a re-read. A little bit of traveling, a little bit of camp life, a little bit of farm life, some horses, some combat. But just a fast pleasant read that shows all the hints of the larger world.
