Sheepfarmer's Daughter by Elizabeth Moon, the first book of "The Deed of Paksenarrion" series - which struck me as somewhat ironic given that I spent most of my time waiting for deeds, any deeds, to be done. I remember hitting page 100 as the main protagonist was slogging through deep mud and thinking, "I know just how she feels!" It seems I am no bigger fan of military fantasy than I am military sci-fi. By halfway I'd already left several "Don't patronise me" comments, and I didn't really care about any of the characters, so I decided to call it quits early. This was a first novel, so at some point I might try something from later in her career.
