This is hilarious! I laughed so much while I was reading this. It kind of reminds me of my slightly out-of-date parents and older relatives. Please update soon!

Now, as I had said earlier, I'll make an actual review rather than merely a question.

During I was reading this, and after I had finished, I couldn't help but notice how cruel Sandry's uncle was (who couldn't?). No, I'm not saying this in any sort of criticizing way. I was merely pointing out the fact that I had come to the point of the obvious. ^ ^

I do, in fact, feel terribly sorry for Sandry. What with her uncle using all sorts of terms that a normal being would be incapable of understand at a first glance. Not to mention the fact that he finds fault with everything she does or says. (I don't think I've seen him compliment her once.)

It really does express an entirely different view than the book does (seeing as in the book they seem to be very close).

This has turned out to be better than I had expected it to be at first (that's a good compliment), and I hope that you continue soon.

I'm in the middle of reading this, so I don't plan on writing a huge review right at this moment, but I really wanted to point this out -- merely because of the fact that it doesn't quite make much sense.

Near the beginning of this chapter (Chapter 9), you wrote:
"Sandry was jarred from her thoughts as she suddenly stumbled over an uneven flagstone in the entry hall floor, twisting her ankle and falling to the ground in an undignified heap."

And then, towards the end of the chapter, you wrote about how she marched up the stairs (yes, I know that you used the word 'stiffly'. But if one twists their ankle, it's quite hard to stand on it, let alone march.). So I was just wondering about that fact.

I just re-read this story, and it made me laugh as much as it did the first time. I especially liked the crooked tree analogy, as well as Vedris's use of the word "verily". =) And, of course, Eigir's experiment was very entertaining. =)

great

Hurrah! A long awaited update! Hurrah! An ally for Sandry!
I enjoyed very much reading this short but well written and humorous chapter. Please do update as soon as possible, and wonderful job!

You have really good writing. You really do.
I just don't think this story works very well with the characters you employ.
But who am I to say anything about a "parody", and only three chapters in? But, I hope you can apply your great skills to another fandom or plot, one in which the characters don't make the readers cringe.

O Sandry's getting fiesty ;)
Is she gonna run away?
Keep writing !

Hey, this is not intended to be a flame, but it's probably as close as I've ever come.

I saw a crack to Lady Sandrilene about flaming parodies in review response, and my problem is related.

This story is a parody. It really needs to be characterized as such. I go so far as to say some people might really enjoy it as a parody, I wouldn't know, I don't read them. I just don't like the misleading of not putting this under parody, and then you get readers thinking it's gonna be a real story, and I'm sorry but its...not. I cannot imagine any way for Sandry and Vedris to be /more/ OOC.

You'll get many fewer flames, and more happy readers, if you put this in the right category.

is really interesting, but...i cant acually imagine vedris doin that... lol...really good writing tho...

Well, I liked it. Sounds just like when I have a snit with my dad.
My advice to Sandry is: Write his excellancy a letter addressing her feelings about how he treats her. It will make the Duke think about what she said and he might try to make a new approach with her. They might listen to each other and learn better from it.

I liked it! Please continue it. I can't wait to see where this fic goes. I love reading it. Keep up the great work!
