drhilde chapter 2 . 6/15 Sorry for not reviewing the first chapter, I was so caught up in your tale! I love it so much! You have intertwined the characters perfectly so far, its beautiful and awe-inspiring. Thanks for writing! |
Wizards N Dragons Realm chapter 17 . 5/21 I'm glad you are keeping some of the characters the same kinda, but why put Pam through that. It's such a tragedy at least she may still have Erikr to show her the ropes so to speak. |
Wizards N Dragons Realm chapter 15 . 5/21 I'm so happy that Erikr was able to overpower his maker. I am also glad that Ocella died the way he did, to be overpowered by Erikr and drained like he has done to many people himself and it was just icing on the cake that Ocella was left so week that he had to suffer from the sun. To know that he couldn't save himself and his future was in the hands of someone he wanted to torture for fun was his own downfall. I'm so glad Erikr didn't have to go through what Ocella did to him like he did most of the stories where Ocella is Erik's maker and not Godric. Great chapter thank you for maker Godric like his substitute maker, I always loved Godric in the True Blood series. |
Giallorosso chapter 23 . 4/14 Nice! |
GlassMazeGazer chapter 19 . 1/13 How is it that he knows she’s a goddess now, but she didn’t know that the high king ‘Northman’ was her Erikr? |
GlassMazeGazer chapter 16 . 1/13 Maybe it’s just me, but the whole goddess/offerings/temple bit is kinda creepy. Also, I’m confused. Garron said she’s immortal now so why is it that he’s worried about her competing as a fighter? I can’t get the image of a dragon knoshing on pancakes with strawberries & cream out of my head now. Love that! Hmmmm.. Might Eric be willing to give her a good fight? |
GlassMazeGazer chapter 15 . 1/13 OH, THANK YOU for not making your readers endure Appius beyond this point! |
GlassMazeGazer chapter 14 . 1/13 ‘... what doesn't kill you only makes you suffer.". That is so freakin’ true! |
GlassMazeGazer chapter 12 . 1/13 So, I know why Sookie is upset & I think I understand why the AP is sick, but why would all of the professors cancel classes? Would they do that because the AP isn’t well? No mention of what modern day Eric intended to send to Sookie. Maybe next chapter? |
GlassMazeGazer chapter 11 . 1/13 And the misery begins. Poor Eric. Poor Sookie. Poor Snö. |
GlassMazeGazer chapter 10 . 1/13 Hey — she’ll never be afraid to sass a vampire if she’s already arguing with a dragon! So Eric gets turned right after this meeting & it’s looking to me like Appius will be doing the turning. I wonder how that affects future meetings. Do they stop because he becomes a vampire? I’m thinking that shouldn’t impact his *ability* to meet with her because this isn’t really dreaming, but is rather out of body experiences. What happens to soft-hearted Sookie if their meetings continue & she finds out about all that Appius puts Eric through? However, this communication is with a version of Eric from the past whereas, in real time, he’s already been a vampire for a millennium. I can’t figure out how the two separate things will be reconciled in this story. Agh — how could the existing vampire version have memories of those shared times with young Sookie & human Eric? And already being a vampire for 1000 or so years, he surely did all his dark vampire shit & carousing so where does that put him relative to Sookie & his promises to be with no one but her? I’m so confused! |
GlassMazeGazer chapter 9 . 1/13 Crack me up! Just the mention of Sookie’s first period & putting on the white dress mentally took me right back to junior high & all the angst about possible leakage that other people might see. The scenario of caving in to her friend & breaking the rules is both an eternal example of the struggle between the authority figure vs. teenager (and if insert friend’s name here jumped off of a bridge would you jump too?) and a teaching moment for both the AP & Eric about holding firm in doing what’s right rather than succumbing to being soft-hearted enough to let someone persuade/pressure/guilt her into doing something she knows she shouldn’t (& in fact, didn’t even want to do). It may sound petty of Eric to get pissy & threaten to leave & not be with her anymore over looking at boys, but in addition to trying to teach her what she needs to really learn to lead/wield her power in the future, he has been going against his father/king & making big, risky sacrifices himself with the intent & belief that the two of them will be together. |
GlassMazeGazer chapter 8 . 1/13 Hmmm. I’m interested to see what happens in their meetings after he’s turned. Especially if Appius is his maker, that will be a lot for Sookie to swallow. |
GlassMazeGazer chapter 5 . 1/13 Iphigenia Is a Britlingen, so definitely not the Iphigenia of Greek legends. I’d like to see Agamemnon try to sacrifice this one! The Trojan War would look like a walk in the park by comparison. |
GlassMazeGazer chapter 4 . 1/13 Too funny — seven year old Sookie is already getting belligerent with Eric and during an out of body trip at that! |
