Paksenarrion -- Paks for short -- was somebody special. Never could she have followed her father's orders and married the pig farmer down the road. Better a soldier's life than a pigfarmer's wife, and so, though she knew that she could never go home again, Paks ran away to be a soldier. And so began an adventure destined to transform a simple sheepfarmer's daughter into a hero fit to be chosen by the gods. Oath of Gold is the climactic final volume of the epic that Judith Tarr calls "the first work of high heroic fantasy I've seen that has taken the work of Tolkien, assimilated it totally and deeply and absolutely, and produced something altogether new and yet incontestably based on the master. . . .[Moon's] military knowledge is impressive, her picture of life in a mercenary company most convincing.

Oath of Gold completes The Deed of Paksenarrion trilogy. Paks is now a Paladin of Gird and the High God who goes where her gods call her. Elizabeth Moon spins a good yarn, but a reader should be warned that there is an intense rape and torture scene near the end. The squeamish should stand well clear. ( )
Paks overcomes the trauma that she suffered at the end of book 2 and moves into the epic role she is destined for. A solid read but not a keeper for me. ( )
I am a big fan of fantasy novels especially if they are long and have several books in the series. I really enjoy a series of books that I can immerse myself in and this series allows me to do that. The story has many fascinating twists and turns and I find the characters to be very engaging. I first discovered these books years ago in a used book shop in Edinburgh and I have re-read them several times since. ( )
The last book offers even more of growth to Paks's character. We can finally see her settle into the role she was made for as well as change the world around her. There are graphic themes in this last installment though, so readers be warned.
But Paks brings with her a new light we merely glimpsed in previous books, and for that this book excelled. ( )

As for Paksenarrion, she was named King's Friend, with leave to go or stay as she would, and when Gird's call came, she departed for another land.
