She has a very annoying tendency to let others dictate her actions.
She doesn’t think deeply (at least in the beginning). Paksenarrion, as a character, is very much a work in progress. The Deed of Paksenarrion sometimes gets lost in such leisurely narration. The leisurely narration of classic fiction bores them.
Most of today’s fantasy readers prefer a deep, deep point of view, reminiscent of watching something on TV. This is a chronicle, and sometimes it reads like one. But for whatever reason, I stuck with this series far longer than I normally would have. I’ve been slipping into that kind of reading mode, if only because there are too many books to read in a short lifetime. It’s too bad, really, because people who read that way tend to miss some real gems. Nowadays, readers tend to give an author no more than five pages to impress them.
