Now the committees are looking for other options - either a way to buy the land or a place to move the park. If that wasn't enough, Kate is just getting used to her connection with the land and her growing magical abilities. She is still learning about her land and finding out about the trenvay who live there. Kate also expands her family by adding a cat and a liege-sworn to her retinue. Both add depth and complications to her life. This book was a thoroughly enjoyable contemporary fantasy with excitement, magic and romance. I highly recommend this trilogy.

Tilhører serienArcher's Beach (3)
Sequel to National Bestseller Carousel Sun. A gripping contemporary fantasy thriller from master storyteller Sharon Lee, award-winning cocreator of the highly popular Liaden Universe® saga. NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED Welcome to Archers Beach in the Changing Land, the last and least of the Six Worlds, where magic works, sometimes, and the Guardian husbands the vitality of the land and everyone on it -- earth spirit and plain human alike. Kate Archer, Guardian and carousel-keeper, has been busy making some changes of her own, notably beginning a romantic relationship with Borgan, the Guardian of the Gulf of Maine, Kate's opposite number, and, some would say, her natural mate. Oh, and she's been instrumental in releasing the prisoners that had been bound into the carousel animals -- which she's inclined to think is a good thing. . . Until a former sea goddess sets up housekeeping in the Gulf of Maine, challenging Borgan's authority; endangering Kate and everything she holds precious. . . .because the goddess has fallen in love in Borgan; and she'll stop at nothing to possess him. Archers Beach is about to suffer a sea-change -- and the question is whether Kate can survive it. Nationally best-selling co-creator of the Liaden Universe® saga, Lee brings high energy action and romance to this tale of contemporary fantasy and redemption. About Carousel Tides:"[A] pyrotechnic finale that plays out magically behind the ordinary facade of smalltown Maine life, evoking much of the romance and magic of [Lee's] popular Liaden series." -Publishers Weekly "[A] virtuoso ride, full of the spirit of the carnival, aware of the thinness of the veil between the worlds. . .a rollicking tale full of non-stop action. . .and yet there's also a quiet at its heart, because there really is this magic in everything and Sharon Lee knows how to spin it."-SFsite On Sharon Lee & Steve Miller's Liaden Universe® Space Opera Epic: "Lee and Miller's novels are full of action, exotic characters, plenty of plot, and even a touch of romance. The world building is outstanding." -Booklist Ingen biblioteksbeskrivelser fundet. |

I loved the characters and the coastal Maine setting for this series. A hardworking, close-knit community of carnies—some human, some not—and a carousel that stands at a gate between worlds really appealed to me, and the romance between Borgen and Kate was refreshingly gentle and sweet. Borgen definitely got added to the book boyfriend list while I was reading these books.
I was disappointed with the number of plots that were getting juggled in this finale. I don’t think Lee was able to do them all justice, and I really hated the sea goddess plotline. The land getting sold, the cat stuff, the shenanigans in the other worlds, and wonderful Kain’s arrival were quite enough. I didn’t need a zillion POV chapters of some dumb sea goddess.
I’ve enjoyed the series as a whole, though, and I’m invested enough in the world that I’ll probably loop back to the short fiction she’s written in this setting. Lee has a fantastic imagination, and this trilogy has been a pleasant ride. The audio version, narrated by Elisabeth Rodgers, is lovely. (
