Summary: I love this trilogy!
Review: I have read this trilogy about 5 times since I was about 16. Whenever I feel down or worn out, I just pick up this book and start reading and it brings me alive again! When I read this book, it is like I am transported into that word...Elizabeth Moon writes in such a brilliant way that everything that is happening I can see very clearly in my mind. When I am done reading, it takes a minute to come back to the real world! I've never read a book before or since then that has had such a profound affect on me! Please read this book! You will not regret it!

Summary: Luck will save you if your courage holds...
Review: I read this trilogy when I was hospitalized for three weeks with pulmonary embolism. It kept me going, kept me fighting, and was my best friend during a difficult time. Yes, it's repetitive. But it's the story of a strong, young woman who confronts difficult and frightening things with courage and conviction. It's fantasy, so it takes you away from things that are too real. I highly recommend it for anyone, particularly a woman, who needs to invoke a fighting spirit. I wrote and thanked Elizabeth Moon for writing this series. It was and is very important to me. I send it to friends.

Summary: Page Turner
Review: I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed it so much, that I have read it over four times. I like how the author is descriptive and how she keeps you fixed into the book. It's a true page-turner and I would recommend it to anyone.

Summary: It's worth a read
Review: I'm glad that I read the single trade edition rather than the three books separately. I don't think I would have bothered with Divided Allegiance and Oath of Gold if I had just bought Sheepfarmers Daughter. I laughed when I read one review about Sheepfarmers Daughter going something like "she slept she marched she fought she ate" he/she is absolutely right! I was thinking the same thing, I started to wonder if the entire single trade edition would be like that! Luckily the other two books are not. I can't say that Moon writes the best battle/combat scenes I have definitely read better, I had some trouble envisioning them. The map was also mediocre it should have had more detail, a few of the places Paks traveled to were not there which was annoying, why weren't they included? Most importantly THRERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A GLOSSARY I kept forgetting and confusing who was who etc. It's a long book, there are alot of characters and the names are unusual. Also Gird should have been explained she just went on about him and I hadn't a clue at first who he/it was. I also found that some of the adventures Paks went on held no real challenge and were not described in enough detail. Moon leaves you wondering who some of the characters were and why certain events occurred.E.g. who exactly was Macenion? Where did he come from? What was the point of the snowcat? Why bother to have it briefly in the story line? Just so Paks could be consumed by guilt over killing it? What exactly did the snowcat represent to her? It's almost as if Moon put little occurrences like that in the book(s) just because she felt she had to. I kept expecting a few of the things that happened to be tied up later on so I could see the relevance of them. I just found the way that Paks got out of the banast taig too easy. Basically the orcs cornered her and she was lucky enough to "move into the light" and to be impelled to take the blue shaped object, which took her out of the building. When exactly was the banast taig broken? When she killed possessed elf or when she grabbed the blue egg? What I enjoy most about some authors books is when their characters get into really sticky situations and reading the clever ways they get out of them and thinking wow I never would have thought of that. With Moon however I was thinking anyone could have thought of that escape. Also why did the elves that found her erase part of her memory? I also got fed up when Paks had to explain to people whatever had happened to her. Rather than saying that Paks told them Moon has Paks describe everything all over again, which is annoying because you have just read her adventure in that last book or chapter and you don't wan to read it over again.Worth reading but not the best I've ever read

Summary: Transcendent. One of the best ever.
Review: I've read a ton of fantasy. I love the genre. Unless the work is particularly poor (Sara Douglass' BattleAxe series for instance) I'm usually able to completely submit myself to the author and allow them to lead me where they will. Most of the time when I finish a fantasy book/series I'm left with a feeling of satisfaction in reading a good story, yet upon completing this trilogy, I was, to put it mildly, stunned. For me, reading The Deed left me on the verge of tears for the next...well...I'm still on the verge of tears having finished it almost a week ago. It seems that recently, every time I'm faced with a situation, I constantly find myself considering how Paks would have handled it, and somehow the challenges presented before me seem to diminish in importance and difficulty. Having finished The Deed barely a week ago, I can't yet claim that it's changed my entire life, but as improbable as it may seem, and I would have laughed had someone suggested it to me three months ago, it may very well have. For those of you who have read George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire", the majority of The Deed is as different from that series as you can get. While A Song encompasses epic struggles between noble houses and vast, world-altering events that leave the reader breathless with the scope and majesty of the tale, A Deed is a deceptively simple story about a young girl's efforts to follow her dreams and live her life. That being said, in its own way it is at least as good as A Song, and deserves fantasy immortality. 10 stars!

Summary: The Deed of Paksenarrion....a trilogy
Review: It is a breath of fresh air to read the untrampled ground of a fantascy heroin. The creation of this character and adherence to the genre motifs makes this trilogy a must read for the fantascy reader. All Tolken fans and followers of the Eddings need to read and savor this character's growth and rebirth, a tale that truely captivates the imagination.

Summary: Great, great, book
Review: One of the best books I have ever read. There isn't enough fantasy written like this. On one level it's a good old-fashioned yarn, but with a subtly building element of spirituality. If you have ever wondered about what it would be like to be a Paladin, this book is for you.

Summary: a definite reread
Review: One of the best examples of epic fantasy I have read. Believeable characters, that pull you right in and don't bog the reader down with excess information.
I have read and reread my copy so many times it's dog eared. If you like marching off to fight evil this is the book for you. Moon shows exceptional knowledge on military matters, horsemanship and basic relationships. Something missing in many of the fantasy novels.
