abuseAnother chapter! I hope you follow this story though, I can see great potential.

You do a good job once again of showing her frustration at being a hindered by being a woman: to be one with her talents in the medieval age must have been been frustrating. Good description too.

"Militia marching out"...that sounds like a build up to action!

abuseInteresting twist. A boy being disapointing. Love your story! And I noticed that in the third to last paragraph, you mispelled barin as bairn(which means baby). Goody, you didn't do dialouge. Nice to keep it balanced.

abuseOh excellent story idea. I will definetly keep reading! I do get tired of the usual guy-hero-rescue-helpless-princess thing. Keep it up. But please, dont do dialouge every chapter.

abuseSo far, this sounds interesting! I'd like to read more.

But there are some errors (although some were already mentioned in the last review):

Some of the longer sentences would probably be clearer if they were broken up with commas.

You wrote "holing" instead of "holding" and "bairn" instead of "barren". And I think "mayhap" is "mayhaps".

Poor Zeroun, he has it hard...

abuseLike the first chapter, I am enjoying the story and I like Zeroun quite a bit, I'm looking forward to him meeting Lilka.

A few criticisms though:

1) Spelling: "borders" rather than boarders, "foreign" vs forien.

2) Storywise, honestly, it seems a bit far-fetched that solid advice like that would be dismissed so easily, or even that his father would be angry that he's thinking a problem through. I can see where this aspect would be hard to write however as often a central plot element is that Zelda IS ignored by those above.

I look forward to more!

abuseI like it! I've heard the concept of a girl hero and a Prince before, and so far it's looking good: I like Lilka's personality and I look forward to more.
