I've loved this book / series for years. And re-read it regularly. I love the character development that happens through the story. If you have read the series before you can pick up the important character changes.

Love it

There are no poorly executed clichés or lacklustre payoffs, here.
Moon writes an excellent first entry into her world, devoting this first novel to character development in the military setting that she very clearly understands. It is this solid grounding, and a measured plot, which easily transport the reader- laying out the beginnings of what is clearly the start of a greater saga that I am excited to go on with.

In narration, Van Dyck holds her own, and is not stilted or obnoxious in delivery. (Apologies if that seems disingenuous. This being my first exposure to her work, and me being a very picky listener, I consider that to high praise.)

I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for [excellent] entry level fantasy without pretension. I am very much looking forward to listening to the next installment.

Measured introduction, well delivered.

Paks is one of the very best characters. While I have enjoyed the audio books. I am still waiting for the movie... Nods enthusiastically.

Family Favorite.
