i really did read the books 3 times, And have listened to the Deed of Pakanarion once a year since the audiobook became available.

its a real kick to read the beginning knowing the end and appreciate the long vision of a great story teller that Eluzsberh Moon is.

really REALLY enjoy this story

I wasnt sure I would enjoy this story as it had a lot of war in it but I really enjoyed it. Jennifer Van dyk was a great narrator and made the story come alive. The description of the towns and citadels made it easy to imagine you where right there with them. I look forward to reading and listening to more of these stories.

Enthralling

was just as good as I was told. glorious, exiting, and pulls on your emotions well. I do feel the narration was good, but before very climatic moments I would have expected a change in pace or a pick up in intensity but many of the times she would continue as if nothing was all too different and I'd just sit their for 10-15 seconds not even realizing combat had broken out. still 4 out of 5 on narration though!

Wonderful story! Narration sometimes lacked climax

I love this book, but the recording quality is poor. Specifically the volume is uneven between chapters and randomly throughout. The narrator could give slightly more character to the descriptions. Dialogue is better, and has different voices happening, but the descriptive text is a bit flat.

Good story, poor recording.

There was more detail about mercenary camp life than I cared for. Too much daily life and not enough action. When there was action, it was not as exciting as it should have been. Perhaps that was partly the reader's fault. She would be a wonderful non-fiction reader but she just didn't bring the characters to life like she should have.

Rather ponderous

Thank you for the excellent reading of Elizabeth Moon’s book. I look forward to the next in the series.

Excellent

What did you love best about Sheepfarmer's Daughter?

This is the first book of a trilogy. This book specifically deals with the main character's transition from living on a farm with an angry father to living in a barracks pursuing life as part of a mercenary army. This is a fantasy based world, but the fantasy is secondary to the plot. The world is well developed but it doesn't over shadow the characters in the story. I have found that in some fantasy books, the world is its own character in the novel. This is not the case in this book. You get the richness of the world without it being overbearing.

What other book might you compare Sheepfarmer's Daughter to and why?

Not sure. I haven't ventured into true fantasy yet. I have a problem sometimes getting into what my friends have called "high fantasy" books. Which is a serious bummer because I've started Game of Thrones 4 times and I still haven't gotten past the 1st chapter. I read the print copy of this book as The Deed of Paksenarrion (all 3 books in one) years ago and loved it.

Have you listened to any of Jennifer Van Dyck’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Jennifer Van Dyck's performance is outstanding. She is one of my favorite narrators. I have tried new books because I saw that she was the narrator.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

I don't know but it would be a great movie, especially now that everyone is on the Game of Thrones kick.

Any additional comments?

Don't be afraid to give this trilogy a try, its well written, the character development is good and its original. Definitely not reused content in a different world.

This is one of my favourite books. I've read it many times, but this was the first time as audiobook. I must say that Jennifer Van Eyck did an excellent work, almost a perfect reading! Well worth a listen!

Great listen

Great story, wonderfully told. The author paints an epic telling of the battle between good and evil in the characters and their world

Excellent!

The Sheepfarmer's Daughter is very much a coming-of-age tale of a girl steadfastly following her unconventional dream to become a soldier, despite objections from her family. I thought several things make this tale stand out from others in its genre: Elizabeth Moon's own military experience gives a solid realism to military training and Paksenarrion's development is not just a result of her innate capabilities but also a result of hard work and determination. Although Paks becomes a soldier and there are many military elements in the tale, this is the tale of Paks' life and growth, and only peripherally the tale of battles won or lost.

There are certainly hints throughout the book that this is only part of a larger tale (and thankfully, we can go on to read more of that tale!) but the book stands very well on it's own ... hmm, books don't exactly have feet, so perhaps cover? After all, most books are only part of a larger tale and often we don't have a chance to see what happens next, however much we may wish to go on.

Jennifer Van Dyck does an excellent job investing this book with the voices of the characters and their emotions: her narration is consistently smooth and well paced and her choices for timbre and accent for individual characters delightful.. Although this may have been the first of the many books she narrated that I heard, I have listened to others since and have specifically looked for books she narrated when selecting a new book for my own audio library.

Enjoyable and a Wonderful start of a great series
