Oath of Gold rounds up this excellent fantasy series from Elizabeth Moon. It is a pity that she never came back to this character (though she wrote a couple of prequels), despite the fact that the ending paragraph leaves ample room for sequels “… when the call of Gird came, Paksenarrion left for other lands.”

This is high fantasy in true Tolkien manner, but faster paced, more gritty, and with characters one could relate to. I am already looking forward to my next re-read of the series.
