Loving the story and characters. good Job 3

PS: Us Canadian readers have a July 1st Memorial Day / Canada Day Also with fireworks and food.

congratulations - on all four items. you have been busy.

enjoying story. reviews seem pointless as this is 8 years past last update.

but, loving the take on PERN characters and story

I just ran across this story and fell in love with the world you had created. I did not understand how keeping the weyrwoman alive to transfer weyr secerts was nothing more but tormenting the poor woman. She didn't seem to depart much information except to have a deep impression with your queen is bad? Did i miss the mark? I guess that since the last udate was in 2016 that this was the end of the story? Too bad it has a good base of characters.
Thanks for sharing your talent.

Oh gee whiz. You have the beginnings of such intrigue.

Balani's death was no shock. It looks to me as if the Weyr was prolonging her torment. In her speech to Morika, Belani was still being the responsible weyrwoman, passing along the information she needed to but also realizing fully the pain of her loss. There was no F'nor, nor Berd and Grall, to tease her back to sanity and life.

Yeah, the cliffhanger of who impressed the queen was totally unwarranted. Such a cheap way to keep me coming back. It's working! I don't really think you're stretching the Pern boundaries as much as just using the Talent vocabulary in the Pern setting. Lessa "leaned" on people left and right and others could tell once in a while. Of course the dragons know what's going on. I'm enjoying this muchly.

Very interesting premise. It's not clear to me which pass is about to start but that seems relatively unimportant.

This is a very well written story. Pity this is the last chapter posted in some time. It is certainly a good insight into Pern affairs :)

Not so sure about the Talent aspect to be honest, not when it comes to people recognizing others as Primes. Existence of Talents does make sense, Pern is full of passive telepaths and there has been mentions of precognition, but if talents were rare though not unheard of, it is a bit doubtful people would recognize Primes. I'd rather think it would be a mass of more and less able talents of the three tele-fields for them, but with no express designations when it comes to strength.

All in all, wonderful work, though! Thanks!

Thank you for a very enjoyable tale.

for me. it is almost 2 years from when this was first published an then 9 months since it was updated, so I really hope you are continuing your magnificent blend of two of Anne's story lines. I don't want this tale to end yet. You are doing wonderfully, more please!

Sincerely enjoyed the story so far. I can hardly wait for Part II!

You can't imagine my chagrin when I reached the end of chapter 14 and there's nothing more to read at this time! I got so caught up in the story that I had not thought about commenting! Very well written! Please don't take too long to a new chapter!
