OK, the kraken there is pretty interesting. I never thought about it from his point of view, this is different!

Interesting. I like how the kraken is just as willing to kill the raiders as he is to kill the defenders of Pirate's Swoop. How very... border-line evil of him. : )

Nice. Very nice and very different. Anybody who has read the books would know this from Daine's point of view, but this is the first from the Kraken's. I think you portrayed the old ship-killer's personality quite well. Numair and Alanna's little bit were well done as well. There is a thing you misquoted. When Daine says "You’d never make it on time" it's supposed to be "You’d never make it in time". Well that's what my version of the book says anyway. Other then that, the story is well written, easy to read and follow as well as being rather entertaining. Very nicely done.

You've got to love fics taken from the Immortals series =). I couldn't find any real errors in this. The characterization of the Kraken was excellent, as was that of Numair and Alanna (towards the end). I don't know if comparing Alanna's magic to the purple of weeds that fringe volcanoes was intentional symbolism (I'm guessing so), but it was brilliant as well. Awesome story

Unique, and highly interesting. ^_^. The kraken has always been one of my favorite of the immortals, and it was great to see his character and powers a little more in depth. I don't know why Pierce didn't include him again - I guess maybe because he would have basically made all the battles not worth fighting :P.

Thanks for writing! This goes right onto my favorites list ;)

This was wonderfully original. I liked that it was from his viewpoint, and thank you for writing it!

Oh, this is a nice idea. Now I understand why you want to see how I portray the kraken part! I definitely need to rethink it. This is very interesting and well written - nice one.

That was incredible, as always - though somehow I got a mental image of the kraken eating humans like they were fishflakes...lol.

It was a very good fic and I will refer to it for the kraken in my One Piece fic...so when I'm fifty...XD

Laters!

I really liked this. Reading the battle from the Kraken's perspective was really different. I liked the idea of it being an amuesment for him. It reminded me a tiny bit of Alanna's fight with Chitral (the guardian of the Dominion Jewel) in Lioness Rampant. Chitral and the Kraken are both ancient beings with limited amuesments, and I see them as a little similar in that.

Yay! Immortal fic! All my nagging paid off XD (I think I've taken the wrong moral from this...)! I'm very happy to see this on here--you already have my comments in detail, but pretend I'm saying them again for the first time ;)

I LOVE your kraken-voice--it is at once inhuman, immortal, and so in keeping with his brief appearance in the book. The perspective is at once non-human but convincing. I love in particular the references to the Trickster and the kraken's sense of his place in human and immortal affairs.

I love your writing and hope to see more ^_^

Fabulous! This is so well-written. I truly am impressed with the way you captured the interest and creepy humor of the kraken and I hope to read more like it. Perhaps even a series of stories about the various creatures with whom our favorite wildmage has communicated. Great work!! :D

Wow that was extremely chilling. That was really well done and I love how you added in your own ideas on how people handled krakens. Wonderful job.

I love the description of the two fishes at the beginning - reminded me so much of that particular scene in Finding Nemo... :D
