| I love the message in this one and the way you portrayed the ents' perception of time. This is one of my favorites of yours. |

Space, this is truly wonderful. I love how you choose the most unique POV to speak from. It just shows how much you "get it". Its not all about sexy elves but this whole world that Tolkien created from the language to the land to the people and not least of all - these very special creatures. Bravo, Space.  |

Oh what a well-written story about characters you don’t see that often written: Ents. I am amazed by how this story can both have a humorous feeling and yet, at the same time is a true tragedy. Space, you play with words and write great and entish dialogue. Besides that, you cleverly weave two genres into another making you wonder about how much we truly value nature by for example making the ents wonder why ‘tree huggers’ come and live with them without asking them if they can make use of the hospitality. What gave me the shivers was how you wrote about war and how the ents wondered how those iron birds could drop their eggs that only spread fire. This story makes me wonder: do we indeed run through our lives as mad (wo)men? Your two ents take the time to formulate their thoughts and before you know it: a century has passed. I remember in the movies that Treebeard said: it takes a long time to say anything in old entish, and we never say anything unless it is worth taking a long time to say. This surely applies to these two tree herders. I felt so sad to see that in the end they were felled and that we nowadays do not take time to listen to nature. Who knows if we can find a tree herder nearby?
Again I find a great story written by you! I enjoyed the read a lot, it has a pleasant pacing, and the story envelops to the reader in a pleasant manner with clever and good use of the language. You are an amazing writer Space, very talented! |
