Resumen del Editor

Paksenarrion was the finest paladin her world would ever see. But Paksenarrion could never have become a fighter at all had it not been for he who had come before: Gird, the liberator, who taught his people that they could fight - and win - against their Mage-born rulers.

And after Gird came one more: Luap, Gird's sworn follower and the king's half-breed bastard. Riven by internal conflict, Luap dare not lie and cannot tell the truth, nor face the future.

Gird's story

This one gave me goosebumps, especially at the end. What an amazing story...it explains much!

An adventure and story of becoming!

Excellent story, the characters develop while the story builds. I was even more interested as it progressed!

The Story of a Man Turned Saint

If you loved the story of Paks you will love learning more about Girds life.

One of the best of its kind.

If you are looking for a story about a boy who comes of age and eventually saves the world, this is one of the best in that cannon. #tagsgiving and #sweepstakes

Hmm. Not bad. Not great though

Where to begin. Many years ago I read Paksenarrion and I recall really liking it. And I love Moon’s Vatta’s War series, so I figured to give these prequels a go. I’m still kind of torn. The narration was bizarre if I’m being honest. I don’t know if the narrator was trying to be a plodding peasant or what, but everyone sounded the same, up until the last 2 hrs or so. It was very difficult to determine who was speaking.

And the plot—hmm. I’m just not sure what to say. It didn’t seem to go anywhere but then there was a lot of action and lots of time passing and no real explanation of what or why. I guess I’ve forgotten much of the plot of Paks’ book because this one didn’t make a lot of sense. I’m going to plow through the next one because the ending of this one is so very strange. Again, I’m not sure why.

But this is a problem with someone deciding to start out at book 1 or -3 or whatever you want to call it. These stories should be foundational with no prior knowledge necessary, but it always seems as if I’m missing something important—like I’ve accidentally fast forwarded.

How can you not love Gird?!

This is probably my favorite of all the Paksenarrion books. Going back a hundred years or more before Paks was born, Moon tells the story of the simple and extraordinary farmer who starts the peasant revolt, which eventually becomes an entire religion and one of the cultural cornerstones of Paksenarrion’s world. The backstory element is fun naturally, but this story is just fantastic all by itself. It’s all about the triumph of goodness, justice, honor and mercy and the sacrifices that make it possible (themes that always feature in Moons work) embodied in compelling complicated, flawed characters who tromp through all kinds of non-stop interesting military action. Through it all you never loose the completely believable sense of who Gird is, an extraordinary paradox and one of my all time favorite protagonists.

Great thoughts inspiring

If this book doesn't bring emotions out then you are dead in mind and heart

Awesome writer

Love this author and own every thing she has written. Can reread/listen over and over

Boring. Plodding. Awful

This book is terrible, and it’s plodding writing is utterly unhelped by the monotonous reading by the narrator.

Awful. And I’m a huge fan of the series.
