Legacy

A few days ago, my copy of Lois McMaster Bujold's The Sharing Knife: Legacy arrived, and naturally enough I devoured it quickly. My initial reaction is one of provisional disappointment. I liked the story well enough, but it did not enthrall me as many of her previous books have; I felt no urge to immediately reread the book as I did with Mirror Dance, with Memory, with A Civil Campaign and The Curse of Chalion. My disappointment is only provisional, however. The book is, after all, the second of a projected four, and though it is intended to form a whole with the previous volume, still, there is enough up in the air that my opinion may be changed retroactively. More, including spoilers, under the jump.
