I'm sorry I haven't been the best reviewer to keep up with each chapter, but I have been reading along! Smile smiley face

... just a note to let you know that I'm truly enjoying this fascinating tale.

Thank you for your replies, Angmar and Elfhild, and for the new update.

I somehow imagined the twins lived in Eastemnet. My bad.
Then the road is the only option, yes.

Angmar, great chapter. Esarhaddon seems genuinely worried for his new favorite. And Tushratta tales of Bablon are like the Arabian nignts....
Curious thought, that with Sauron and the Nazgul around Esarhaddon doesn't really believe in supernatural!

Wonderful new chapter, Angmar!

The two doctors are truely awesome. One sees the scene so clearly...Poor Aziru and his desires...

The attitude of the other women of Rohan is quite understandable, though unwise. They are indeed Barbarians.

Sulriel, Elfhild and I are glad you are enjoying the story. We promise it will be a very long one and will take an unknown number of books to tell. However, each book is more or less complete in itself.

"Angmar, great chapter. Esarhaddon seems genuinely worried for his new favorite. And Tushratta tales of Bablon are like the Arabian nignts..."

Aganuzir, you will see quite a few tales in The Circles that might remind you of Arabian Nights, but all of them are original and none have been taken from Burton or any other translator's work.

Though he might not admit it and shows his affection in strange ways, the slave master really is fond of his women. His main faults are stubbornness, pride and greed. All of the characters in The Circles have one flaw or another.

"Curious thought, that with Sauron and the Nazgul around Esarhaddon doesn't really believe in supernatural!"

There are always skeptics. Wait until Book Three. *grins*

"The two doctors are truely awesome. One sees the scene so clearly...Poor Aziru and his desires...

Both doctors will suffer in future stories.

Enemies will see each other in the worst possible light. The people of the West see the Southrons and Easterlings as barbarians, while the men of the East and South regard the men of the West as backward, primitive, and lacking in civilization and culture. After all, men awoke in the East.

Great new chapter, Angmar and Elfhild.

Really the Khandian doctors will have hard time with the Rohirric women. But some, like Leofgifu, are more reasonable, it seems.

Aganuzir,

Unlike her nieces, Leofgifu is more reasonable or more adaptable to culture shock, or perhaps she is more of a realist. Prisoners have two choices - submit or die.

Thank you for two new chapters, Angmar and Elfhild.
I liked the one about Khandian doctors and also the one about the twins and the deserted village.
And, at last, Elfhild has remembered her Kingly Rder! I hope the girls will be captured soon and will have the opportunity to see him again... If not now, then later. But they would have to pass by Minas Morgul wouldn't they? I am looking forward to it.

Agan,

We are glad you are enjoying it. Elfhild has remembered her Kingly Rider, but the question is - does he remember her? Will she see him again?

Yes, they would have to pass by Minas Morgul to get into Mordor. This is a shadowy area in Tolkien's world. Tolkien purposely kept the readers in the dark about the appearance of the Morgul Pass by taking Frodo and Sam through Shelob's Lair. In the unpublished material, a storm comes up and makes it impossible to discern much of anything.

In an AU, this area is a veritable playground for the fanfiction writer, and we are tempted to play in it. *grins*

Awesome new chapter, Angmar and Elfhild.
Sang-Mi is a valuable addition to your character list. The girl is very likeable - I hope we shall see more of her.
Keep updating, please!

Agan, Sang-mí will return and it is promised that in Book Three she will tell her tale. Elfhild and I hope to have an update soon. Thank you and everyone for reading.
