In the tradition of heroes

Add Paksenarrion (an elfin name) to the pantheon of my heroes. In my review of Sheep Farmer's Daughter, Book 1 of The trilogy Deed Of Paksenarrion, I marveled at Moon's treatment of military issues and her integration of men and women in positions of leadership and of lesser rank. As I read the trilogy, Paks grew on me. I still feel that more character development a la George R. R. Martin and Terry Goodkind, would have fmade the trilogy a richer experience. This said, the trilogy is all about Paks, a remarkably human hero. I was in continual suspense about her fate until near the very end. But Moon does not kill off characters as Martin does. Instead, Moon wraps a gripping and at times spell binding tale around the development of her lead character, Paksenarrion Dorfan's Daughter. A well done first trilogy, in my opinion I am richer for having read it.

Strong female heroine

This is my favorite book. I am so glad it is on Audible. Fell in love with it as a pre-teen. A must read for young women. The narrator does an excellent job with the different characters and accents. This is the 3rd book in The Deed of Paksenarrion trilogy by Elizabeth Moon. :)

Good, but a much different flavor

it was good and well written, but far far more politics as a posed to action are involved and was a struggle foe me to see it through. worth the read to finish of the series and resolve pakses story.

I almost like this more than Harry Potter

I have been a hardcore Harry Potter fan since third grade. I'm 32 years old, and this book Trilogy is fantastically written beautifully performed Jennifer Van Dyke is amazing. I love listening to this book, I listen to it all the time I think I've listened to it eight times and I've read it on the Kindle and in person. I just have to say it's a beautiful book well done
