Lizzie 2008-07-04 ch 17, anon.	abuseI adored every moment of this and just had to let you know. Your characterisations were impeccable and I loved the interplay between Hugh and Cadfael. You portrayed their friendship beautifully. Thank you so much for writing this. Good Cadfael is so hard to find :D
Greenleaf's Daughter 2007-08-21 ch 17,	abuseDo me a favour and post the other chapters you've written so far of your other Cadfael fic. This one is lovely and it really catches the atmosphere of the books and between the characters! I'm looking forward to read your sequel to this, especially with me moving home to near the real Shrewsbury in October... =)
Rosemary For Remembrance 2007-08-20 ch 17,	abuseA very tidy ending to this wonderful story! You've mastered the art of the ten-million sub-plot story, a tradition begun by the great Ellis Peters! I loved your intricate descriptions and good use of Welsh; do you speak it, or did you use a translator? Either way, it was efficiently used and didn't seem tacky, as the use of foreign languages in some fanfictions tends to. All in all, it was a very well done, high quality fanfiction. This is deffinitely going on my favorites list!
Rosemary For Remembrance 2007-08-20 ch 12,	abuseWell crap. That sucks! Why is it that Hugh and Cadfael always get the short end of the stick? "It had probably not been changed for some time - then again, in the winter straw was too expensive to waste on prisoners, when there were horses and cattle to be fed." For me, it's the mundane, worldly descriptions of everyday life and culture that flesh out a story and make it believable. Wonderful job!
Rosemary For Remembrance 2007-08-20 ch 11,	abuse"As always, Brother, you amaze me! Perhaps you should be deputy sheriff, after all. You always seem to get to the solution before I do." Ah, Beringer hits the nail on the head yet again! And thank you, by the way, for giving the damn horse some credit for once! No one ever remembers the horse! Again, a lovely chapter, very true to Cadfael, all characterizations in order!
Rosemary For Remembrance 2007-08-20 ch 10,	abuseHa! The final solving of this mystery was very Cadfael-esq, if that's even a word! Awesome chapter, sorry it's taken me so long to get to it. This is TrappedInDreams by the way, from LJ! Thanks for the comments on my sketches, you have good insight!
Animated Crime 2007-08-18 ch 1,	abuseI am so happy someone has done a Cadfael! I love the first books and the TV series, and it didn't even occur to me there would be fanfiction. Great choice of material! I haven't gotten very far, but it's good so far. I will read and review more thoroughly when I have more time. But so far (for the first chapter), my comments are: Good characterisation of the canon characters. Except for Hugh who is a little bit too impatient to start off with - I know he is not the most patient character, but I doubt he would be in a panic to hear what the mission was while the Lord was explaining why he had sought out Cadfael. A bit too soon. I liked your inclusion of the details on the monk schedule and lifestyle. Reminds me a lot of the actual books, which is a good thing. Your preamble was a bit abrupt, as in Cadfael's debriefing and preparations. Usually, Cadfael being a careful monk, he would find out more and choose important things to bring before setting out. It seems to me that you're just really anxious to get into the action! But quibbles: it's off to a good start!
SMARTALIENQT 2007-08-16 ch 17, anon.	abuseScratch that about how I'm the only one on here who knows what Cadfael is! I just looked at the reviews LOL and there are 23! OK, I'm done now. Continue reading. --SMARTALIENQT :D
SMARTALIENQT 2007-08-16 ch 17, anon.	abuseI am probably the only person on here (besides you) that knows who Brother Cadfael is. I like to watch them on TV and video with my mom and sister. My favorite episode is The Devil's Novice, mostly because I like the story, second because I think Mariet is cute, and third because Brother (what's his name? The annoying one who's stupid?) gets his just desserts. LOL --SMARTALIENQT
Rishie 2007-08-16 ch 17, anon.	abusewonderful story extremely well written and enjoyable to read. I really enjoyed this.
Fleet Sparrow 2007-08-07 ch 17,	abuseThat was wonderful! I have been waiting for a Cadfael fanfiction and yours thrillingly exceeded all of my expectations. Keep up the good work!!
Rosea 2007-07-18 ch 14,	abuseMore please! Please! PLEASE! Cadfael has been badly neglected in the fanfic ranks, there is so much material that can be used. I love what you have done with this story, you've included some of Cadfael's past, some of my favourite characters (Torold, Godith and Olivier) and what you have done with Beringer is just wonderful. I always thought that he would make a good spy- well, until he is found out! I love their interaction, Cadfael and Beringer have been partners in almost every single book, and you have captured that ease of companionship so well, not to mention the humour. New chapter soon- PLEASE!
TheAllKnowingUpChuck 2007-06-23 ch 14,	abuseOMG!! YAY! I LOVE Cadfael!! :P Loved it Loved it LOVED IT!! Keep up the good work:P
Meriagrin Baggwise 2007-06-08 ch 1, anon.	abuseI'm not sure I understand everything here. Well actually I am positive I don't understand everything going on here, but it is my own fault; you see I saw there was only one story under this lovely category and I thought to myself "Let's have a look and see". So I did, but it appears that there is more than just looking and seeing, there is another story behind this one (as in most fanfictions) but I am not familiar with it. What is the one corpse too many thing about? About what time frame does the story take shape in, what with swords and kings and horse rides? What is Prime? And Lauds time? Luncheon or second breakfast or something of that sort? I guess I souldn't just jump into a story without any background knowledge for it, but it's too late now for that (my hindsight is 20/20)!! If you could bear with me and axplain a few things I would be grateful. As to the chapter it was pretty easy for me to piece some things together if not many. I don't know why but I enjoyed the bit where they stopped at the village. Don't ask, I'm just weird like that. Until next time! Happy writing! ~~Meriagrin Baggwise
Gummadoon Fanatic 2007-05-03 ch 10,	abuseWell at least they've found the culprit now, and Beringer is free to go, even if they are still after his neck because he's a spy. At least he's able to walk now. Dewydd in my opinion is becoming more suspicious as each chapter goes by but I'm sure all will be revealed soon. At least Robert of Glouchester knows who the culprit is now, so when Faulke Adeney finds him - well hopefully it won't be too bad. Great chapter - you'll certainly kept true to the style and kept us all guessing. A true mystery in my opinion. Good work! Please update soon!
