Once a sheepfarmer's daughter, now a seasoned veteran, Paksenarrion has proved herself a formidable fighter. Years with Duke Phelan's company have taught her weaponry, discipline, and how to react as part of a military unit. Now, though, Paks feels spurred to a solitary destiny. Against the odds she is accepted as a paladin-candidate by the Fellowship of Gird. Years of study will follow, for a paladin must be versed in diplomacy and magic as well as the fighting arts.

The way is long, the dangers many - and no one knows whether she will find glory or ruin. I remember this book cover from when it was first published: the honesty of a woman warrior weeping over a cut on her leg was striking. Fast forward 30 years and it still is. Kudos to Elizabeth Moon working with her illustrator on this cover.So to the book: it drags in places more than the first book in this series, though that may be due to the subject matter and the drudgery of those places in the 'action' of the story itself. Paks' first adventure after leaving Duke Phelan's company is with a mercenary company where she meets with Macenion, a half-elf who promises to help her continue her journey over a mountain range.

He reminds me of all those boyfriends who never quite had their act together but I was too young and inexperienced to have expected more. Yeah, that time in my life. Paks learns about herself through a tragic incident and carries that knowledge through to her next set of adventures in the town of Brewersbridge and her (our) first encounter with a Kuakguan.The story and adventures strengthen here, as Paks discovers her own strength both personal and as a leader of others.

Her earlier soldiering adventures stand her in good stead and Moon introduces the structure of the government of her world: Girdsmen and their Marshals, Council, innkeepers, and the like. Through her questions and learning the world of a small town, Elizabeth Moon deepens what could otherwise be a simple sword-and-sorceress adventure story into a world-building monument built on a stable foundation. And a swordswoman.Finally, Paks is joins the Fellowship of Gird as a Paladin-apprentice through a quite believable bit of fighter's pride, as in 'pride goeth before a fall.' More adventures and travel ensue, and she is taken prisoner by the iynisi who challenge the light of her Paladin candidacy through their absolute darkness. Again, the challenge when she is rescued is not all light because she is rescued, but a fight for her to regain her self-hood and her studies towards her candidacy.

Paks is smart. Paks is brave.

Paks fights for those who need it. Paks fights for good. Paks is a character everyone strives to be but can never attain because she is too near perfect. Perfect soldier. Beautiful friend. The current work her cohort is working on has let her down and she will not stand for it so she leaves the Duke's company on good standing with open orders to return if she wishes, or work on her skills elsewhere as she pleases.

Macenion is an idiot who claims to be a half-elf magician but he's really just someone looking out for himself and holds a grudge, stupidly, against his very small bit of elfin heritage. Marshal Cedfer is a cool character, full of life and well of information in the fighting arts. Ambros, a yeoman marshal, is a smart young man, willing to fight for what is right, wise before his years.

When Paks journeys to Pan Finir and learns the arts of a Girdsman things become complicated. She meets an elf named Ardhiel, a proud man with a melodious and spell binding voice; and befriends dwarfves, one named Balkon, a funny fellow with a love for rocks.

She rises fast in the ranks of juniors but she still has a lot to learn. So when she's offered to become a paladin she can't believe her luck. Her studies are hard but these are the best times in her entire life. So when they journey to find the Luap's holdings things take a dark turn, a turn dark enough that even I began to cry. The torments of Archya is not to be taken lightly and the recuperation is maddening.

How could someone so good, so right, become so angry and withdrawn? And then to be healed only to be broken. This book really makes me sad and as I begin the third installment of this series I sincerely hope that Paks regains herself because if she doesn't. I just don't know what I'll do. From the back:Once a sheepfarmer's daughter, now a seasonsed veteran, Paksenation has proven herself a fighter. Years with Duke Phelan's Company taught her weaponry, discipline, and how to react as part of a military unit.Now, though, Paks feels spurred to a solitary destiny. Against all odds, she is accepted as a Paladin - candidate by the Fellowship of Gird.

Years of study will follow, for a paladin must be versed in diplomacy and magic as well as the fighting arts.But before she is fully trained, Paks is called to her first mission to seek out the fabled stronghold of Luap far to the west. The way is long, the dangers many - and not even the Marshal-General of Gird can sy whether glory or ruin awaits.
