Review of "Sheepfarmer's Daughter" on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Paksenarrion is the typical strong warrier woman in this fantasy novel that tries really, really hard to be epoch. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite make[return]it. I'm not saying it's a bad book, and if you enjoy epoch fantasy you'd probably get a kick out of it. However, by the end of the book it starts to feel[return]like the same old fantasy stuff that we've read time and time again, accept instead of a strong masculin male character it's happening to a strong masculine[return]female character. It's got battles, magic, and a main character who can do no wrong. If you enjoy that sort of thing, you'll find this the stuff of legends.[return]For the rest of us, it's an ok read...but you've probably got better things to do.
