so what's echo about? the synopsis doesn't actually say anything about it.
Or is it the kind of story where saying anything at all about it will spoil it?
The other is Elizabeth Moon's Deed of Paksenarrion trilogy which I highly recommend.
Yesss!! Great portrayal of a paladin. It's one of my favorite books so I was happy to see it mentioned. Faraway Paladin has done a great job so far too (I need to read the LN now)
Yes, Moon's take on a paladin is more human and more admirable than the stereotypes of the insufferable goody two-shoes and the humorless zealot. Faraway Paladin gets it right (for me) in some of the same ways.
