I've been listening again to The Deed of Paksenarrion on Audible. It was one of the first novels I read of my own volition and it's lived with me ever since. It's one of my all time favourite ever works of fiction and I don't think I know anyone else who's even heard of it, let alone read it.

It’s brilliantly written, and I absolutely adore the pov of an ignorant rural farm girl running off to join an army knowing next to nothing about the crazy magic world she lives in.
