5.0 out of 5 stars Burn the midnight oil, 10 Jul 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Deed of Paksenarrion (Paperback)
I don't know how I missed this series over the years. It was recently recommended to me by a friend and I found a copy at the bookstore. I sat down for a minute to read the first few pages thinking that if it was any good I would have read it when it first came out. Well, an hour later and sixty pages into the book I didn't want to put it away to go pay for it. I did go ahead and get this combination volume rather than trying to find all three volumes and I recommend that to everyone.

Sometimes it pays to wait for a book because then you can read it and its sequels all at once, and I did. It took a while and I had to put up with a few inconveniences like sleep, food, friends, etc but it was well worth it. This definitely ranks as one of the best that I've ever read and I have read a few. I also have the prequel, the Legacy of Gird and can't wait to get to that as well.

Again - read this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars I love paks and you will too!, 16 Jun 2001
By Rodney Powell "fairmont66" (Centerville, Georgia USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Deed of Paksenarrion (Paperback)
I just got done reading one of the best epic fantasies I've read! Like the medieval ministrels Moon tells us a tale of great deeds, tragedies and truimphs of a unforgettable heroine, Paksenarrion, or Paks to her friends as you will soon be as you read her story. You will follow Paks as she decides to defy her father and not marry a pigfarmer and follow her dream to become a great warrior.You watch her as she joins a mercenary company of the leadership of the noble Duke Phelan and see the world.And what is Paks world you might ask? Paks'world is place with it's own set of myths and legends,beauty, great evil and greater good.You will watch Paks as she grows from a starry-eyes young private to a seasoned veteran in scenes of battles and wars.Moon's description of life of a medieval fantasy mercenary so realistic you would swear she was one herself.You will also see bit by bit Paks true destiny which is to become a Paladin knight in the service of Gird.Another thing that makes her endearing is that Moon makes Paks a real person.She is no unstoppable Xena clone but a real flesh and blood person with her own fears which she must conquer to reach her great destiny.Moon's world-building skills are quite impressive as you see Paks' world through her eyes.You will watch as our heroine battle great evil like followers of the sinister gods like Achrya the spinner of webs and Liart the master of Torments.The book is one of the most deeply spirtual fantasies I've ever read because there are scenes where Paks is tortured by her enemies and only her faith of her god and Gird are her only weapons.Finally you will watch as Paks fulfills her destiny by restoring a king to his kingdom and help defeat the forces of evil.I implore Ms. Moon to write another Paks novel because I want to read more of her adventures and see more of her beautiful and unforgettable world through her eyes!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books you'll ever read, 31 Oct 2006
By A. M. Archer "wolfgirl" (scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
How to even begin to review this masterpiece? Setting aside the fact that it is beautifully writen, that all the characters are well developed and full of life, that the plots are compulsive reading...setting aside all that, there is Paks. If you do not become enchanted with her, feel as she does, as you read this I'll be suprised! She is an ordinary real person tring to forge her own life rather than follow a path set before her. The book will take you on the journey of her life from the time when she runs away to the legend she becomes. It is to this day my all time favourite book and I have yet to find its equal - they say that Moon is Tolkien's true heir I say she has surpassed the master. Please just give it a go you will not regret it!
