| Tal-Elmar is very wise compared to his father. It is good he won't take advantage of the situation. He did he get to be so nice? The elves get to sleep in beds. After camping for four nights I need a real bed and a bathroom with a shower. A whole year of camping would be horrendous to me. Oh so Legolas is a brave one but to too brave yet. He will be one day. Hazad or Bad Man, a distinction but not a difference. I loved staying with my grandparents on their farm and being around all the farm animals. I wish the elflings could enjoy this. Until they went to town things were OK for them. I overlooked Tathiel can be a healer. She delivered Legolas after all. And more congenital idiots show up. Tal-Elmar's brothers. Witless wonders like Guryn. At least Hazad has some sense. He doesn't use it wisely but it is there. His two sons on the other hand are single- and simple-minded. Actually Hazad is pretty much the same way. Can I say the apple doesn't fall very far from the tree. Then how do we explain Tal-Elmar? Bad men indeed. Even after the barn incident Hazad just will not see past his own nose. All the elves feelings of safety were false. They are in a no win situation that will only get worse when Hazad feels that Tinania can be married off. I wonder how old Tinania really is in human years? I'm glad Tathiel was able to help the human mother otherwise all three of them could have been lost. Good Tal-Elmar and Sarn have come up with a plan. I think Tathiel had better come up with one also and had better make tracks away from there unless she gets into more trouble and then she'd better wait until Rawien comes. Wow lots of elf angst in that chapter. I hope they can get out of there in one piece and soon. See some humans are nice and don't just want to take advantage of elves or people for that matter. For every bad man/woman there are more that are good. At least that is what I always hope. Author Reply: It is enjoyable to see your reactions form chapter to chapter like this. Every so often you meet someone who is kind oand seems to have good values/morals and then you meet their parents/family and wonder where in the world they came from. Tal-Elmar is exactly that - perhaps there was some inheritable charateristic of his grandmother or his mother had some influence on him. And yes, our little elflings and Tathiel have gone right back into the frying pan. Sometimes things do get worse before they get better. Thank you for the reviews - they are a gift. ~Nilmandra | |
