Sheepfarmer's Daughter

I don't usually like military novels. This one is about a young woman who joins a mercenary army, complete with basic training and detailed massive battles. However, I was pretty engrossed in this book. I was taken in by Moon's skill at describing combat so well with enough details to explain what the character was engaged in while keeping me focused. Only occasionally did my mind wander during these scenes. This was partly due to Moon's amazing prose. I almost never got tired of reading it. This is the first book in a series as well as Moon's first novel. This book was nominated for a 1989 Locus First Novel award.
