Synopsis

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.

The damn David Eddings thing is one ("philisophical and technical problems with the genre" my fanny), and the "assimilating Tolkien" atrocity that gets attached to this novel is another. Look: it's *clearly* worki......more

Not really quite 4 stars, but close. I was surprised. I've only read her SF series, Vatta's War, before & thought she was pretty good, but not a great writer.
