The Deed of Paksenarrion (Paksenarrion #3-5) 
From publisher Baen: "Paksenarrion, a simple sheepfarmer's daughter, yearns for a life of adventure and glory, such as was known to heroes in songs and story. At age seventeen she runs away from home to join a mercenary company and begins her epic life . . . Book One: Paks is trained as a mercenary, blooded, and introduced to the life of a soldier . . . and to the followers of Gird, the soldier's god. Book Two: Paks leaves the Duke's company to follow the path of Gird alone—and on her lonely quests encounters the other sentient races of her world. Book Three: Paks the warrior must learn to live with Paks the human. She undertakes a holy quest for a lost elven prince that brings the gods' wrath down on her and tests her very limits."
The one and only reason I haven't flung The Deed of Paksenarrion out of the window, drowned it in a vat of potassium hydroxide, or taken it to Half-Price Books and then used the resulting nine cents to buy myself a much-needed aspirin, is that I haven't reviewed it yet.Tomorrow, D of P, prepare to meet your richly deserved fate: sent in disgrace and ignominy to the nearest used book store, there to stew in your own fetid juices until some other poor fool staggers along and reads you.It will
I don't think I can stress enough how amazing this whole series is. I read it in the omnibus edition, so I think of the series as one whole book. Which, given the scope of the story, can be daunting when trying to tell someone about it.The title character, Paksenarrion, is the daughter of a sheepfarmer who longs for greater things; specifically a career as a mercenary (yay for strong female characters!). She joins a particularly respected company, and shows great talent as a soldier. The book

Nowadays, readers tend to give authors as much as five pages to impress them. More often, it's one page. Sometimes, it's even one line. It's too bad, really, because people who read that way tend to miss some real gems. I've been slipping into that kind of reading mode, if only because there are too many books to read in a short lifetime. But for whatever reason, I stuck with this series far longer than I normally would have.First, the problems.This is a chronicle, and sometimes it reads like
OK, I loved this book when I was twelve. Paks was my first screenname and hell I even named a cow after her. Yes, I said a cow, I grew up on a farm and that's what you do when you love something on a farm. You name a cow after it. My dad once named a cow after an ex-girlfriend of his and it pissed my stepmom way off. Ok I digress. This book is about a paladin. What's that you say? Only a holy knight! Only a divine warrior of good! And what else is Paks? A sheepfarmers daughter! Do you see why I
This was brilliant and wonderful!I'll admit, I was a bit put off by the year it was published since I've had mixed experiences with books that were written before I was born...Man, I'm glad I gave this a try despite my worry!It's a story about a girl named Paksenarrion who sets out to become a warrior. It's a tale of adventure, of trial and error and of overcoming one's fears and doubts. I was sucked in immediately and couldn't put it down. I was so happy with it that I wanted to recommend it to
Hints more than Spoilers:My first unforgettable impression was that Moon had a crazy-realistic grasp of what life would feel like as a pawn in a military troop. Paks is a stubborn, passionate, true-to-herself sort of person - she is so great! But she doesn't know these people over her at all, she doesn't know their character or goals or why they are marching over a mountain pass, she is just doing the best she can from where she is. From her point of view the mud is mucky, the fights in the yard
