The narration was on point and every character had a distinct voice, despite many written characters.

The story was compelling and I had to keep listening.

Spoilers:

Tears, feels, and general frustration/confusion felt alongside Paks has left me needing to buy more credits before my next one is available.

Elizabeth Moon, thank you. I love you and I hate you. This series has brought me a new view and understanding of not only paladins but fantasy in general.

Did Jennifer Van Dyck ever bother to listen to Elizabeth Moon pronounce the name of Paks???? PAK LIKE BACK NOT POX Like BOX RUNED it for me. I bought these books long long ago and am just now hearing them. I so regret paying for these now.

narrator really should have done at least a small amount of research to pronounce the names as the author would. other than that it is a great story and well read.

narrator is good but bad at pronunciations

Really is my favorite of the 3 book series. We get to see Paks attain her dream, then at no fault of her own , both literally and figuratively looses everything. Moon s skill at writing is exceptional and shows her skill at maneuvering Paks thru her rise and fall while we feel her pain and terror as well as her great happiness Don't miss this one.

A little slow at first with much of the focus on exposition and self-contained adventures. But the last 10-15 chapters are phenomenal. Paks is presented as an endearing character whose struggles are thought out and well conveyed. The world Moon creates is developed much further than in the first novel. And the interactions of the wide cast of characters are sincere and enjoyable to read of.

Though the reading is tougher with more characters this time around, the narrator feels generally stiff and over- or under-inflective, for example: Messinian who sounds far too comedic and makes this part of the book not as enjoyable.

Slow start but an incredible finish

The book was a great read - until the end. I know this is part of a series, but the first book was complete in itself. This one ends with even the author seeming not to know where the protagonist is. It was an endingthat was as unsatisfactory as the rest of the book was good. I will read the next volume, but not because the ending inspired me to keep reading.

where's the ending ?

Part two of my favourite book trilogy. Expertly narrated! Can't recommend this series strong enough.

One of my favorites!

In Divided Allegiance, Elizabeth Moon has continued the story started with the Sheepfarmer's Daughter. The author has advanced and improved the world-building and character development started in the first book, and I ended up enjoying Divided Allegiance much more than I did the Sheepfarmer’s Daughter. Mainly it is because I found the action, the quest, and the adventure contained in this book much more exciting than the duties of a junior soldier, which were the center of the first book. Divided Allegiance is a solid 4 Stars, even though the fate of Pax at the end of the book is depressing.

I listened to the audible version and Jennifer Van Dyck did an excellent job telling the story. I am moving on to the Oath of Gold.

The story is getting better

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Maybe

How could the performance have been better?

The voice she gives the elves is really horrible. Sing-songy and they sound like androids. HATE IT! The rest is fine. I find myself wanting the elf to die just so that I don't have to listen to him.

Love the book, narrator isn't great
