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!
