Horizon

Eight or more years ago, I bought and read the first book in this series, Beguilement, but never felt particularly motivated to finish the 4-book series until a few weeks ago. It occurred to me that before I let my (expensive non-resident) library card lapse for the next few months, I should grab this series off the library's shelves and plow or skim through it, as the spirit moved me.The second book was a skimmer for me (I didn't rate or review it because of the amount I skipped over), but the third was good enough that I actually read the whole thing with a fair amount of interest, especially the last part, which really ramped up the intensity. The excitement kind of ramps down again at the start of this fourth and final volume in the series, but I found myself unexpectedly taken with the telling of Dag and Fawn's stay with a camp of Lakewalkers, where Dag can learn from others how to use and control his abilities as a maker and healer. The magical aspects of this were fascinating. Dag and Fawn are still battling the prejudices that Dag's people, the Lakewalkers, have against Fawn's, the farmers, and vice versa. Specifically, Lakewalkers don't like Dag practicing his healing abilities on farmers. But when a young farmer boy gets lockjaw from stepping on a nail, what's a self-respecting healer to do? And one thing leads to another, and of course Dag and Fawn and their friends aren't finished dealing with the deadly malices that blight their lands. And one malice is of a sort that no one's ever seen before:(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)]
