this is brilliant!

it seems so clear to me now, of coarse lorlen is a musician!
Laura Scofield chapter 30 . 4/1/2011
hey, im in class again, so i need be quick :P

I really loved getting Takan's pov, and it was really sad what he decided to do in the end. You effectively depicted his feelings. Although it made me want Takan and Lorlyn to get together more, I can understand why its got to be Akk and Lorlyn. Anyway, this series has developed so well, and I cant wait to see what happens next!
Laura Scofield chapter 29 . 1/16/2011
This was so moving, and I felt more sympathetic for Akkarin than I think I ever felt for him so far in this Akk/Lorlyn series. He was trying to do the right thing here, but it backfired, and now Lorlyn's furious at him :( I actually felt more sympathy for Akkarin in this scene then Lorlyn, perhaps because it was Akkarin's pov... and Takan... I want Takan to be in it more! :P But I know you want to focus on Akk/Lorlyn more :)

Anyway, I can't wait to find out how this turns out, and if Akk and Lorlyn get together, PLEASE give Takan a happy ending! :P

This... this was so beautiful. It tugged at my heart and made me want to cry; for Akkarin; for Lorlyn; for the whole situation. You wrote this in such a way that it would be near impossible not to be moved by it. Well done for a brilliant update, I hope you update again soon and sorry for not reviewing earlier!

The Lorlyn/Akkarin saga continues :D Well, now its the Lorlyn/Akkarin/Takan saga ;D I'm very happy you went with that idea, it shakes everything up nicely.

I think you described the emotions of the characters very well, I felt I could connect to their problems. I still dont like Akkarin all that much in this (dont worry about it though, you know I'm generally just not fond of him as a character), but I did feel sorry for him... a bit :P I connect more with Lorlyn, and her big secret :D I really hope her and Takan get together, maybe run away to Elyne or Vin... and Akkarin ends up with... no one! XD Or maybe he gets a pet or something :)

Anyway, I'm curious to know where this whole story is progressing to, so cant wait for another update!

And for Foreign, I thought it was a very insightful look into Takan's life, not many fics take things from his perspective. Keep up the brilliant writing! (Oh god, you posted like a million updates for Disturbia LOL I'll go read them now!) XD

Ooooo Lorlyn is back!

And her falling in love with Takan is definitely unexpected...oh well, I've never considered Takan as a "ladies" kind of character :p But I'm curious to know what Akkarin will do to win Lorlyn :)
Ralobat chapter 27 . 12/18/2010
Aww! Takan's greif and mourning for his homeland and his family come through strongly, and his unease at being the only dark skinned person in the guild is another quality addition.

I think this is a really good, and I can't wait for the next chapter!
Ralobat chapter 26 . 12/18/2010
It's certainly an intreguing twist, having Lorlyn fall in love with Takan, and not one I think anyone expected!

I love the detail with the hair tie and Akkarin's untidy desk, they fit the story really well.

This is a really interesting story, and I'm enjoying it immensely! I hope you get the next part up soon if you are planning to continue it!
Laura Scofield chapter 24 . 12/13/2010
This review is so flipping late! Uni is being very time consuming atm...

I havn't got to read the Lorlyn chapters yet! But cant wait to do so :P Anyway, for Cat, it was a lovely light hearted scene between friends, and I giggled at the idea of Lorlen looking like a cat! Haha, i loved how serious and stern he was :P

No Time was a huge contrast- something you do extremely well! A heavy theme, but you pulled off the emotions effectively, and conveyed the characters' pain really brilliantly.

Cant wait to read catch up on the next 2 chapters! :D

XXXXX
Ralobat chapter 24 . 12/6/2010
A really deep and thought provoking chapter, wonderful to read and an interesting idea, more and more people seem to be killing Sonea off! I like the fact that you have kept it ambiguous for now, as it's more realistic, no fairy tale endings for you! Can't wait for the next one, and thanks for updating so quickly!
Ralobat chapter 23 . 12/6/2010
"Really is like you," Osen muttered back. "Doesn't like being disturbed."

I loved this, a nice light hearted fic, and it's really funny, just Lorlen as a cat... priceless! :P
Ralobat chapter 22 . 12/6/2010
Wow, a really powerful poem, and somehow an evil mother nature, although so far away from the usual perception of her, really works! The references to stone children and her gifts of magic were really well done, and I think we need to see more of this style of writing!
Ralobat chapter 21 . 12/6/2010
I really like this fic! A lovely modern twist on it, and for some reason Tayend and festivals seem so made for each other!
Laura Scofield chapter 22 . 12/5/2010
Its great to have another update (or should I say 2 updates) from you! :D

Firstly with Vacation- I'll admit, its strange for me reading about BMT in an AU, maybe because there are so few other fics like that. But I love your creativity, and willingness to explore different situations. Obviously my favourite parts were the Dannyl and Tayend bits, they made me laugh :D Sonea was funny too, and that Lorlen! heehee I was hoping you'd make a reference to Osen/Lorlen or something, but maybe that would have ruined things :P Anyway, I very much enjoyed reading about the BMT characters set in a modern world, its something I'd love to see you write more of!

Next to Mother Nature - I'm not much of a poetic person myself, and I never realised you were! I think the images you created in the poem were very vivid and felt so real; I especially loved these lines:

"Wrapping soft breezes"

"My trees bend slowly

Their ears twitch

Listening."

"Grass is creeping

From under the stone,"

Forever seeking,

To fulfil my perfect wish"

"My earth, my simple loving child,

Stolen away by the cold stone fashions of men"

"But they should not have touched my stone children.

They should not have overstepped their boundaries."

"But this unnatural shaping of stone, this subjugation of one group of my children by another, this I cannot, will not allow."

"But as I shape my wind around their buildings, push my plants through their floors, send my animal children to take back what is theirs, I wait for them.

For one day, I will win.

For one day, they will fall, and their world will fail, for they will realise that I am eternal, everlasting, and someone who can wait forever will never be defeated, not even by man, who think themselves highest of all.

I am patient.

I will wait."

I think you have a real talent for poetic verses like this, you have the power to make the reader stop and think about the world they live in. You have such a wide range of writing abilities - to write both humourous and light fics to heavy and serious themed stories. I cannot wait to see what you come up with next!
