update really soon! this is really good!

Heya!

Overall, I thought it was pretty good. Quite narrative, but hey, that's how I write too. I like the quiet tension, if you might say, between Andromache and Hector.

Update! I'll be waiting!

This is a good story. Can't wait to read what happens next. Not too many of these stories in this site. Keep up the good work and update soon.

i'm realyy enjoying this, it's a good start and there coversation was good. Oh i can't wait until they realise who one another are. e. please update soon, i cant wait! bye.

Great update! Glad Andromache wasn't trying to run away for good, like I thought she might be at the end of the last chapter. Meeting Hector like that where she didn't know who he was a good plot device, as it allowed them to have a conversation free from Andromache's pre-conceived notions of him. Now will he clue her in to his identity, or will he try to get to know her as her "soldier?" Didn't she say she loved riding but hadn't been on a horse since she was a kid? So maybe Hector should invite her riding. Looking forward to your next update!

This chapter is like the beginning mark of Andromache and Hectors relationship. I hope within the next few chapters they will really start to enjoy each others characters. You should let them have more conversations, more deepful so they could grow on each other. OOh! and make it more intimate! update soon! because I dont want wait a week for a new chapter!

I really, really, really like your story. In fact, this is the only h/a fic that i like apart from adania and mary scot..

please update..

though i'm curious, what does the title of your story mean?

and where do you guys read about andromache's history? god knows i'm still struggling to finish illiad since like, 2 years ago when i got it as a present..

Soldier. Nice nickname. I like it.

Wonderful descriptive writing. Very flowery. Andromache's impression of Hector is very different from Podes'.

Can you reduce the amount of my lady/my lord? It gets irritating if you use it too much.

I like your Hector- many stories mention the fact that he hates fighting, but I like how you go far enough to say that he hates politics, too. Not only that but you managed to incorporate what he really loves- Horses. keep it up!

actually, i like how u've depicted both hector and andromache..obviously Hector is younger so he will be a bit(or more) different than in the movie..and if my memory serves me right, every greek mythology book i've read depicted Andromache as a comely but not beautiful woman, who's everything a proper greek wife was supposed to be..i think that means she wasn't brazen at all..tho she was not an obvious beauty, she captured hector's heart by being a good wife, and treating his hand-maidens(aka concubines;remember those days that it was ok 4 a man to have slave girls..even Helen's husband bedded anothr woman when Helen couldn't give him a son, altho he had the most beautiful woman in the world as a wife whom he supposedly loved) nicely and fairly. in fact, as hector was only mentioned to have one child by andromache in all mythological texts, i would think that maybe he didn't make use of his concubines after he fell in love with andromache. hence, just one child. after all, most mythological stories mentioned if a hero had illegitimate children - e.g. menelaus, agamemnon, priam(i thk i mite have misspelled their names), thesus(the minotaur hero),etc. as hector was a great soldier whose baby son was murdered later on(tho not in the movie),i think the ancient greek poets would have mentioned it if he had any other child to carry on his blood, even if it was a girl. unless, hector had fertility problems (at the end of the war, he would actually be about 40,n itz weird that his child is still a baby, since greek men usually marry around 25-30),then it would explain the lack of children. of course, it could also be because he's too busy fighting the war, so he might only sleep with his wife when he has the time, esp since he is depicted to have loved andromache. well thats juz my 5c worth..of cos,i'm sure many diff ppl have read many diff versions of the troy characters..but yeh well..thats what i think. having said all that, which i hope u've bothered to read..hehe..i think ur story is amazing..u're introducing us to the story really well..hope u update soon..glad u aren't planning to do the cliche storylines )

I really like your story, it's an excellent beginning. I can't wait to read more, a new approach to Andromache should be fun to read. No critiques so far, except that it would be nice if you could show more of Andromache. So far we've seen the circumstances, but for the most part her feelings or whatever have been a bit... vague. You said you're taking a new approach but I still can't figure out what that approach is. So yah, if you could maybe clarify Andromache a bit more, that would be great. Excellent story, you're a very talented writer.

Great second chapter! Good portrayal of the friction between Hector and Priam and his advisors that lead to such disaster during the movie. And that's a really good punishment Hector thought up for his brothers! I take it the young lady at the end was Andromache heading into Troy, presumably bent on hiding herself or escaping? More soon please!

I like this story so far just ebcasue it is different. I don't know exactly what you will make Andromache like, but it looks like she won't be like in many otehr stories, like the independent Western woman who came straight out of her managemnet office. And I don't know if Hector is really OOC, since we don't know what he was like when he was younger. I doubt he was like he was in the movie.

You seem to go for a "nice and slow" approach, and to put a lot of care in your writing. I hope you'll put just as much effoirt into the plotline.

Fiery start to the chapter. Absolutely explosive! I like your Priam, exerting subtle control and total faith in the Gods. Father/Son interaction was excellent. I loved Hector's Zeus/Apollo reasoning, very cool- maybe you can also include some backstory about how Hector's going to fire that annoying High Priest when he becomes king :p . Poor Podes, I don't envy him his position.

'A man could only take so much turmoil in a single day before his mind slowly began to fall precariously toward the steep precipice that shielded his sanity from the firey demon's of his temper below.'

Very nice imagery. I strongly support you to write a different Andromache. Original ideas are always welcome.

Hey this was really good, you make the counsel quite realistic with the emotions of Hector. I also agree that Hector seems a bit OC, he really should grow out of it and Andromache should open up more, hope that happens sooner in your upcoming chapters. well I can't wait to read your next chapters.
