I thoroughly enjoyed this piece. It was well written, with witty dialogue, and good pacing. I appreciate you, and the fact that you shared this with the world. I apologise for not trying to critique it in any way, but that was the farthest thing from my mind as I giggled my way through.



I don't tend to review, unless I almost loved it. Thus, awkward wording is happening.

This was very interesting, but why doesn't Edmund use the cordial to heal him of his allergy? It worked in the Dawn Treader with seasickness.

Haha! This is amazing, rth! I absolutely love it, and I like the ending. Great job! Whenever I need a good laugh, I'll come back for a reread.

Well, I've finally found some time to read BRD, and it's absolutely brilliant! I love the way you portray Edmund, and the otters are amazing, if very rude. The characterizations of every character are great!
I'm quite intrigued, and will get to the next few chapters in the coming days.

Oh, rth. Why haven't I read your stuff before? I've been missing out.
You write wonderfully, with a great style. I love your characterizations the most, both canon and OCs. You are spot-on and consistent. (I like the animals' characterizations the best, though).
I could go on forever, but I'll stop. On to your other works!

Brilliant. Wouldn't change a thing. You have a great hand for comedy, and I'll be off to read more of your work. Thanks for the laughs!

Marvellous story!

I must say I very much enjoyed this - and that I was rooting for Lady Morgan. Which is unusual. I usually despise Canon Characters/Original Character pairings, but I was already drawn into the story when I realized that was the direction it was going to go. Very well done, very believable.

There should not be any more talking. Doing! Touching! Moving! Sounds! The only words it wanted to hear were “more,” “faster,” “you are amazing”, and “let’s do that again.” YES, PLEASE!

Would it be weird if I nominate this for best romance? 'Cause this is just plain hot. Seriously. Love, love, love. I DO hope Morgan is in your other stories...pretty please?

Great story, even if it does remind me of my business law class! ;)

*primes for reading more of rth in the very near future*

Gosh, I just grin my way through your chapters when I am not guffawing. I adore your writing style, as does half the fanfic world. ;)

"When she was almost ready to move from tipsy to sloppy, Edmund escorted Even More Dim back to his sisters and the accompanying dryads... Lucy was looking murderous." BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

"Granted, they were about beetles and not about how he would very much like to hear Evil Banker Morgan call him, "Harold," whether in soft, heated whispers or very loud cries." Oh, that is so wrong. And hilarious!

Must. Keep. Reading!

"Squinting in the darkness, he tried to determine if he had drooled on the Tax Code. If ever a book was deserving of such a fate, surely this one was." LOL!

"Edmund's imagination wanted to fluster her some more, and regrettably it seemed his reason was becoming rather more sanguine about the idea as well." HAHAHA!

Another amusing, fun chapter! I have nothing intelligent to offer about this chapter except I love Morgan and look forward to more. :D

Oh, this is hilarious, and definitely worth all the reviews I am able to give.

Edmund. Your Edmund is great. He's just so witty, intelligent and occasionally snide. I love how, all of a sudden, he has corsets on the brain; and how his rather impulsive imagination continually runs away from him.

Another part, which I quite enjoyed and so must mention, is how Lady Morgan displays the oranges for the otters, earning her the admiration of all but Edmund. I love his reasoning that, as a banker, nothing she does will surprise him. It's just so perfectly Edmund!

I love how you've portrayed Susan, also. The gutsy, determined, yet perfectly gentle queen who rides the Hell * when no one else can. It's delightful!

There's so much in this chapter that I love; but, if I were to tell them all, it would be a rather lengthy review. Let me end this, therefore, with a salute to your writing talents. Highly enjoyable and completely remarkable, I love it.

I took your advice, my dear Rth, and skipped the otter romp. Nevertheless, this was still a very enjoyable chapter, and I had a wonderful time reading.

Jalur... I think I love him. :) He's just such a witty, caring tiger that he is one of my favourite characters... as is Evil-Banker-Not-A-Lady Morgan of the House of Linch. (Did you write that out in full each time?) Jalur's reminder to Edmund that he was "promised otters", had me sniggering quietly. He's so languid about it, and the fact that Edmund and he are so comfortable together makes me grin a goofy and slightly moronic smile.

On a final note... poor, poor Edmund! All those numbers, sections... Gah... my own head is hurting from simply reading. I dread the day when I must grow up myself, and very much appreciate my tax-free life after reading.

A brilliant job, as always. I hope to review chapter five soon.

Oh, I do love this story. It's such a mixture of brilliant writing and wry wit, that I find it perfectly charming... although I may have to skip that next chapter, due to otters.

I love your evil Lady Banker. A match for Edmund's intelligence, yet there for less than honourable reasons. I simply adore your unique mixture of animal characters, also. They come and go, and yet they leave a distinct impression in my mind of having known their personalities and loving them dearly.


"“Even the swordmaster prefaces it with 'Royal,' as in 'Royal Lazy Arse,'" Jalur clarified."

Ah, hahaha. I love that. Jalar makes him recite his many numerous titles, before correcting him as to the proper way of using even an insult by prefacing it with "Royal".


I loved your reference to the Crows of the Murder, who are after the "Shinys" of King Edmund. There's just something so inherently animalistic about that, and yet all the animals are rather human.

A brilliant chapter for a brilliant author, I hope to review chapter five soon.

I didn't review for this? Whoops! Anyway... I absolutely loved it! You wrote Edmund very well I think, and very in-character in my opinion. I love the way you protray and write Narnia, it is utterly unique and... realistic in lots of ways. Since Narnia is a land of beasts I would assume it would a lot less... formal than other countries.

I LOVE your protral of the animals! Especially the Otters, that had me laughing. I also laughed very hard at the part where Jalur took away Peter's guards to have a... chat with them. That whole situation had me rolling! XD

"The High King is a leg man." Hahaha! No idea why but that line particularly stuck in my mind.

Awesome very funny fic! Good job! =)
