The Sharing Knife is probably the weakest of all the books Bujold has ever put out. It really lacks the depth of books like Curse of Chalion or Paladin of Souls. I have to wonder if she dug TSK out from under the bed while she works on something else. Compared to her other works, TSK is light frothy fun read. If she were anyone else but Bujold, I'd be placing her in the candy category, but Bujold has shown that she's so much more, and I hold her up to the standards she set for herself.
