All I can say is Bravo! Ms Moon rung every emotion from me. From humour to deep sadness. As a former Marine her view of a warrior was must refreshing. Seemed more true to life, less made up. Characters are believable. Story is captivating. Have read this book to date four times. Love it!

Someone referred me to this book/trilogy as a good resource for gaining a fuller understanding of the paladin. Although it does provide that, it does so much more. In fact, because Moon relates the tale in such a full, rich, and real manner, the "lessons" do not jump off the page. I found myself engrossed in Paks' life, and its twists and turns and ups and downs, as opposed to taking notes on how a paladin behaves and thinks. And she took me on a truly wonderful ride.
As some other reviews stated, the magic of Moon lies in the "realness" of her writing. I am a lover of high fantasy, with its elves, dwarves, undead, magic, and such. Moon does not dwell on these in this book. But, i did not miss it at all and in fact, the sparing use of it probably made the tale more immersive.
I cannot say enough about this book. So i will not try, save to say the degree of sadness i feel upon finishing a book remains one of my firmest measures of how much i loved reading it. Needless to say, i felt tinges of depression upon finishing this one.
Great job! I wil be reading all of Moon's other book, although based on the reviews, i will have to lower my expectations some. But even if only half as good as Deeds, i have become a forever fan.

This is a great story, well developed characters, belivable environment. A classic tale of a young persons' growth from a scared kid to a secure adult. Moon has the ability to describe life in a miltary organization. Not everything is exciting, some days and weeks, are just drudgery. All in all a book to keep and to reread.

I read this series years ago when it was originally published. I lost the books over the years. I'm so glad I made this purchase.
