From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. The absorbing third installment in Bujold's epic fantasy series (after The Curse of Chalion and the Hugo-winning Paladin of Souls) links a disinherited swordsman hero with a beguiling damsel accused of murdering a royal prince in a land worshiping five gods, menaced by encroaching neighbors and swarming with ancient magic and lethal political intrigue. Lord Ingrey kin Wolfcliff, sent by the kingdom's sealmaster to fetch orphaned Lady Ijada to trial, soon learns they both unwillingly bear animal spirits received in forbidden power rites stretching centuries back into the primeval Weald. With the aged Hallow King now dying, Ingrey and Ijada journey toward the king's hall at Easthome, falling into a love that appears doomed, while Ingrey's powerful fey cousin, Lord Wencel, spins a cunning web of bloodthirsty ambition that binds them to him in an unholy trinity. Though the book's complicated magical-religious structure requires considerable suspension of disbelief, Bujold brings to life a multitude of convincing secondary characters, especially skaldic warrior-poet Prince Jokol and his ice bear, Fafa. Bujold's ability to sustain a breathless pace of action while preserving a heady sense of verisimilitude in a world of malignant wonders makes this big novel occasionally brilliant—and not a word too long.

From Booklist

Here Bujold returns to the world of The Curse of Chalion (2001) and Paladin of Souls (2003) to show us intrigue and mystery in yet another land. Lord Ingrey kin Wolfcliff has been sent to the estate of Prince Bolesco, the half-mad son of the king of the Weald. The prince has been murdered, and Ingrey is to investigate. The accused is an orphaned young noblewoman. But the prince had been dabbling in forbidden sorcery, it seems, and the young woman lies under an ill-cast spell. Despite his ostensible duty to the royal family, Ingrey is drawn toward protecting the accused from those who want to hang her as the quickest way of hushing things up, as well as from the church, which might kill in an attempt to cure her. Bujold's reworking of a classic romantic situation is distinguished by its setting in a well-crafted world and masterly creation of characters whose fates will keep readers turning the pages.

3.0étoiles sur 5 What happened to the twists?, Nov. 18 2005
Par Ivano (Sooke, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The Hallowed Hunt (Hardcover)
I got hooked on Lois Bujold's Miles Vorkosigan series some years ago. What great writing! - interesting characters, awesome plot twists, superb dialogue. I couldn't get enough. When I read Curse of Chalion (the first book in the Chalion series), I was somewhat disappointed. After Miles, the Chalion characters seemed one-dimensional and the plot almost predictable.

The second Chalion book, Paladin of Souls, was a little more interesting and I was hopeful that Bujold was finding her way back to fabulous writing. Unfortunately, The Hallowed Hunt is another step backward. The characters in Hallowed Hunt are, if anything, even more one-dimensional than those in the first book and I knew what was going to happen almost right from the beginning of the book. There's no twist, no spin, no suspense, and no mystery. I'm reluctant to say this but the book was almost boring. For the first time, I was sorry to have paid the big money for the hardcover.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A reading ride, Mai 24 2005
This review is from: The Hallowed Hunt (Hardcover)
The Hallowed Hunt is a beautiful and fast-paced fantasy and sci-fi story filled with action, adventure and mystery. Like Heart Stroke, Irresistible Forces, Usurper and Others, The Shadow of Saganami, the reader gets thrilled until the last page.
