pistonsfan75 chapter 1 . 9/20/2016 Loved it! Makes sense now how Edmond managed to survive the rest of the battle without anyone finishing him off. That's exactly something Mr Beaver would do, and reflects the centaurs' loyalty well. |
One Lucky Unicorn chapter 1 . 4/18/2011 I've noticed that in a number of Narnia fics. Beaver tends to come off looking pretty bad, apparently because he recognized the fact that Edmund had been compromised by Jadis or something. I don't quite understand exactly why he gets bashed. Anyways, it's nice to see that someone else realizes that Beaver doesn't hate Edmund and would look out for him, not only out of loyalty to Peter (as well as Susan and Lucy) and Aslan, but because Edmund is his liege. Truth be told, I think he had a solid reason to mistrust Ed, all things considered. Nice job going into the furball's head, and I really loved how you described Beaver's feelings when he saw Ed break Jadis' wand. |
Desertfyre chapter 1 . 1/10/2011 I never gave much thought to Mr. Beaver's POV in this scene but this is well done! Great story! And as many times as I've watched the movie I'll have to go back and see this Centaur...I probably saw him but didn't pay much attention. |
Lirulin chapter 1 . 12/27/2010 That was such a cute story! I've read so many stories about this moment in the movie, but never from Mr Beaver's perspective, so that makes it truly unique. And I really like how you've written this change in Mr Beaver, from not wanting to invite Edmund for tea to being certain he wants him over at the dam now. :) Great job! |
DanceOfTheEntWives chapter 1 . 6/7/2010 really? i haven't noticed the centaur. i'll watch the movie later on this is a very sweet fic and i like the way you portraited the characters! great job on this! |
stingrae90 chapter 1 . 3/13/2010 This is certainly a new take on Mr. Beaver's view of Edmund. I really like this. Good job. stingrae |
acacia59601 chapter 1 . 2/28/2010 Great little one shot! I'm very impressed and adding it to my C2. Aslan Bless! |
none yet chapter 1 . 2/20/2010 This was a very sweet story. I especially liked the tie-in at the end: "A very nice spot of tea." That made the story feel neatly wrapped and complete :) Your flow could use some work, but the only way I can think of to fix that is to practice more (which is the fun of fan-fiction right?). There was one paragraph in particular that just plain felt awkward: "Despite their small stature, both Beavers and beavers are very strong creatures. They have to be, you see, in order to build such fine dams. So, when a Beaver and a Centaur team up they actually create a very strong guard." For one thing, the first sentence does not make sense (I'm assuming one of the "beavers" was supposed to be another word). Secondly, it feels like you are begging your reader to buy into the fact that Mr. Beaver can indeed fight. I suggest just deleting this paragraph, and leaving the choice of buying it or not up to the reader. Good job and keep writing :) |
notinuseanymore2 chapter 1 . 2/18/2010 Wow, I never really gave much thought of what Mr Beaver would think of Edmund... This is really good and well-written. Great one-shot! |
Mystic Lover of the fairytale chapter 1 . 2/17/2010 awesome story as always ,I'm sorry you're sick I guess the bright side is that you can do loads of writing. |
LucyCrewe11 chapter 1 . 2/17/2010 Okay that was seriously adorable! What a cute idea to re-write the battle-scene moment from the He-beaver's point of view! so sweet and charming, really. Anyway, I loved it, and I didn't notice any grammer/spelling mistakes or typos, so I've got nothing to say about that. I guess I can sum up this whole review in two words: Cute Fanfic. Oh, and by the way, I loved the bit about the tea! so in character for Mr. Beaver! |
