Reklar 2008-05-27 ch 43,	abuseSolaufein strikes again! I guess I need to read some Wordsworth, just so I can keep up with this guy, of course. ;) You may hate writing bridge chapters Kendris, and for what it's worth I agree with you entirely, but you make it look easy. No complaints, as usual. :) -Reklar
Reklar 2008-05-27 ch 42,	abuseNicely crafted, Kendris. I am always impressed by your adept handling of Viconia and I very much appreciate her deference towards Khalid. I'm not sure how difficult it was for you to put this chapter together, but you most certainly made it flow so easily that one would think you breezed right through it. I can't say I've ever thought of Minsc and Aerie developing the kind of relationship that is being alluded to by Jess and Viconia, but I'll just read on to see how you handle it before commenting. ;) -Reklar
Reklar 2008-05-27 ch 41,	abuseYou just can't go wrong with Robert Frost, though I admit I have most likely not read that poem yet (hard to tell what I remember anymore). I knew I sensed something developing between Imoen and Solaufein, but even without that I certainly like his outsider perspective casting light on the shadow that is Imoen's self-doubt. Speaking from personal experience, an outside perspective is often the catalyst towards recognizing what you've been told for years by those whom you know and trust. I look forward to seeing how Imoen adapts to Solaufein's council. :) -Reklar
Reklar 2008-05-27 ch 40,	abuseNice save with the use of the Slayer, but it would have been more fun if Jess had thrown Anomen to safety. :D I don't have any complaints, though I wonder about using the Slayer in this situation, but I can see where you're going with it (I think), so I'll just file it away for future review. :) -Reklar
Reklar 2008-05-27 ch 39,	abuseWow, I've never really had much affection for elves as a race, but Elhan takes the freaking cake here for being insufferably rude and arrogant. Jess took the high road here, but I'm not so sure I wouldn't have spit at his feet after that sort of treatment. Very well done as always, Kendris. ;) -Reklar
Reklar 2008-05-27 ch 38,	abuseVery nicely done, Kendris! The first slip into Imoen's thoughts threw me off kilter for a minute while I tried to figure out what was going on, but I'm not sure how you might have better included them so I can't comment further. I'm looking forward to seeing how things evolve between Solaufein, Viconia, and Imoen, as it seems there are hints towards some interesting dialogues in the future. -Reklar P.S. Sorry to be so long in trying to catch up, work and school occupy virtually all my time anymore. I hope to catch up soon though. :)
arabellaesque 2008-05-07 ch 53,	abuseAw -- Minsc and Aerie :D And slight comedic relief with Boo and Jaheira -- most excellent! I admit that I shy away from romantic tendancies and Minsc, because I know I couldn't get it right even if I wanted to -- your Minsc and Aerie, though, seem so naturally right for each other :) That was great to read :D
Amousca 2008-05-05 ch 53,	abuseHi Kendris, Good one, lol. So maybe Minsc isn't as cracked as we thought ;) And I totally stand by Viconia's assessment that neither Minsc nor Aerie know "what goes where"... Well, all I can say is that I hope there's more coming soon :)
Elidi 2008-05-04 ch 53,	abuseVery amusing! Making Boo so human-like worked beautifully, and Jaheira's reactions were too funny! I'm not generally a big Aerie fan, but I love the way you've written her throughout, and you did a great job slowly nudging her and Minsc together. Minsc is one of my favorite NPC and I'm so pleased that you've managed to keep him in character. He'd be an easy one to go over-the-top with, but you've held onto that childlike innocence of his. Beautiful! I'm so glad you're still working on this. I'm dying to see where it goes.
Capt. Incredible 2008-05-04 ch 53,	abuseI found it hard not grin all the way through this chapter, if only because you pulled each part of it off so well. A special bravo for managing what I think everyone would consider one of the hardest things to do, that being to write a believable Minsc romance. I also admit that I'm a huge fan of any Boo centered dialogue or interaction, so that last part was a fitting touch. The talks between Aran and Viconia are well thought out and very good for fleshing out the characters, as always. Overall, I'd say you're still doing an excellent job of striking a balance between plotline and party interaction, especially considering that Jess and Imoen are on their own separate quest. Another chapter that did not disappoint. Well done!
Kelenthial 2008-05-04 ch 53,	abuseOh, good to see you back! And... Aerie/Minsc! I must admit I am quite fond of this pairing myself. ^^
jeramie 2008-04-11 ch 52, anon.	abuseI absolutely love this story! I so can't wait to find out what happens next!
arabellaesque 2008-03-25 ch 52,	abuseTravant is yet another interesting OC from you -- you're making me very envious with your ability to create them and weave them in so seamlessly! :D My only complaint? There wasn't enough! So I will just wait for an update patiently, and look forward to it :D
Treymane 2008-02-28 ch 52,	abuseHm, sounds like Travant will make a good nemesis for Jess (especially since he is of both Bhaalspawn and Demonic origin), hopefully he won't make Irenicus jealous. Look forward to the next chapter.
Treymane 2008-02-28 ch 51,	abusewell, figured I would submit seperate reviews for each chapter to keep things neat. I only found one minor stylistic issue. "a bitter undercurrent underscoring his words." The use of "under" as a prefix twice in a row just bothers me. Perhaps "a bitter tone underscoring . . ." would flow better. Anyhow, a good expository chapter with an amusing ending. I'm having a hard time keeping track of all the non-canon characters(partially because I haven't read in a little while so I always have to try and remember who is doing what with who) but so far your context clues have made that situtation manageable. Now going straight to the next one. (BTW-I can't help but wonder if, now that Jess has been shrunken, the slayer will now be a mini-slayer. heheh, adorable)
