Annoying, as I do need to go back and forth between the audio book and the eBook, depending on where and when I can listen.
In this second book, our heroine, Paksenarrion Dorthansdotter of Three Firs, the daughter of a sheepfarmer, has left Duke Phallen's Company of mercenaries, and is headed to Fin Panir the headquarters of the Order of Gird, though she doesn't quite know where she's headed when she leaves. Along the way, there's much daring do, and quite a bit of learning and growing, as Paks learns to move beyond the fighting of a private in a troupe of infantry, to a mounted knight.
Wonderful fantasy, excellently written and well narrated. The entire series, starting with The Sheepfarmer's Daughter, is highly recommended. |
I really like the series, but the second book was my least favorite. Too much, I deserve to suffer in it. As an ebook, there are sections that I kind of scan through. Kind of hard to do that with audiobooks.
