Elizabeth Moon's Sheepfarmer's Daughter
I really liked that book by Moon, so decided to check out some of her other works, and was delighted to find several SFF series! This one is the start of an interesting epic fantasy sort of series, about a girl who runs away to join the local army (which is co-ed), really a band of mercenaries. GREAT characters and adventures here. I don’t know how a book that is primarily soldiers marching around manages to be so riveting, but it was! Of course, hints that the girl has a larger fate help. A-.

Content warning for an attempted rape, handled about as well as can be expected, and one scene where a dude is tortured by the villain.
