This series is one of my all time favourties...and I dont really know why. It doesnt really have anything to make it stand out and is full of a lot of the same cliches. But I just love this series for some reason. Anyone have a clue as to why I could like it?
 Seriously did anyone else like this Trilogy? |

It was my feeling that Elizabeth Moon actually understood the down and dirty nitty gritty aspects of medieval combat, and didn't romanticize it at all. She was a commissioned officer in the US Armed Forces as a young woman, and obviously is a student of war, and of the strategies/tactics that would be needed to fight battles in the environment she created for her trilogy.

The first book was hands down the best Elizabeth Moon has ever put out. I enjoyed the grittiness that she imparted and brought out the realism of the scenes to the readers. After that she went downhill and unfortunately I pass up her books on the bookshelf.
