This writer has a genius for creating believable OCs, and I love this OC pairing. These characters live richly in Middle Earth, but would live as richly in a world of their own. Add the prequel and sequel and it is still not enough. I'd like to see it go on...and on!

I've read up to chapter 6.

The original characters are well drawn and compelling, the situation in which they find themselves well thought out. I get the the impression that anyone who stands in their way will regret it.

I've only read 6 chapters, but I'm hoping a story as long, complex and interesting as The Phoenix's Griffin. (no pressure!)

Read up to chapter 11 and I really hope there's more! It just sort of stops.

Well, I'm hooked.

The character of Amaras has me enthralled. The entire society and the backdrop for the story is well thought out and believable.

I'd like to see more of this, even though I know how it will end.

Thank-you for the very enjoyable read!

I am up to chapter five. I am hoping a lot is explained from the second story. So far, I like this. Still looking for a desirable ending to Phoenix's Griffin. Have not seen it yet. Get busy.
And wherever will you post it?

I really enjoyed the interaction between Amaras and Saeros. There's obviously more, but I guess I'll just have to be patient in waiting for it.

I finished what you have. You DID say this was a WIP, did you not? I see no progress. Come on, give us something. My popcorn is cold and now I have no more Buttershots. I think I will go write another chapter on my own story. So, there. Welcome, back.

Okay, so chapter thirty is read. I am left thirsting for more. Pour us another couple of chapters and we may be willing to call it even, but we are NEVER satisfied. Hear the popcorn????

Wonderful story! I could live in the world you've created. Characters are sooooo real. Descriptions of scenes are vibrant and clear, easy to visualize. Even battle scenes (which are usually gibberish to me.)

More, more, more, more, more,more,more,more, more,....................

I've read reams of fanfic, the vast majority of which is angst driven MarySueish drivel (spelling getting away from me here!) with boring obligatory sex at the end (but with lots of teasers along the way.) Your story, plot and characterizations are nothing like that! What the people do and say comes from a deep reality within their souls. You go girl!

You rock smiley face

mmmmmmmmm

Loved it from the start, and it just keeps getting better. I can mine it phrase-by-phrase for all its surprizing little gems...or I can read it 'big', in all its epic glory.

OBTW - The kohl and braids in chapter 42...? Definitely the Dilletante Chocolate of images...
