At first when I read the short summary of this story I passed over it an ignored it, and continued to ignore it for the next week or so. This morning I decided to take a chance and read the first chapter. It was your prolouge and author's notes and I have never seen someone put so much effort and care into their story. I read an Ardeth story last week who's plot was blown way out of proportion with rediculous things such as katanas. I thought "i really wish someone would write a story that made sence and was mature and believable" You answered my fanfiction prayers! So far your story is really really good. Like, probobly the best I have read, no kidding. XD! Oh, I was looking for quotation marks but if they aren't your thing, thats fine, you made it easy enough to figure out. My email is blue.. I don't have a login so yeah, if you want to contact me at all... Now then, back to my reading! I can't thank you enough for the excellent read. Finally somebody gets it. :)

I think that is probably a good way to end this part of the story - though I wouldn't mind reading the other half (I am a little reluctant to start, because I don't think it's been updated in a while). I really appreciated the way Ardeth handled the whole thing. Thanks for a good story!

Oh, interesting twist. I still feel very sorry for Ardeth though. Thanks!

Wow, poor Ardeth. She doesn't seem to think that he might be hurt by this. I wonder why she thinks that she could stand to have Sahir touch her? Good job!

I am not *quite* sure what you were going for with the dream there. I mean obviously, she feels like her old life is irrevocably gone, fears she is dishonored, and still wants nothing to do with marriage, but I'm still not quite sure. Good job though!

Wow, good for him. I can see that she still has some way to go. But at least she wasn't actually raped - then it would take even longer. Good job!

Ok, she needs to realize that Ardeth does not mean to hurt her - in any way. Great chapter!

She'll figure out exactly what offends him sooner or later. Great chapter! Thanks!

Good job! While I understand how she is acting, I still feel sorry for Ardeth. Thanks!

Thank you very much for another good job!

Good job again! Thank you very much!

Good job! Nice to finally know who she is. Thanks!

Whew, seems like he had a little more blood loss than he wanted to admit to. Good chapter and very much enjoyed!

Good job! First aid book huh? I that just something that interests you or does it relate to your job or field of study? I enjoyed the chapter!

Good job! Into battle they go. Seems like Ardeth made the best decision that he could in terms of who to lead the snipers (and who to watch her). I'm hoping that he will be able to earn all of the respect of the men. Thanks!
