| You always make me laugh. Haleth reminds me of my first time back on ice skates after 20 years : I called to my husband to look at me skate , and he turned just as I went skating across the ice on my backside LOL Author Reply: LOL!!! Timing really is everything, isn't it? It's amazing how often things time themselves for maximum embarrassment. It sounds like you skate the way I skate; strap skates to feet. Strap pillow to backside. Thanks for reviewing. Haleth | |

| I must say, as a southern girl or GRITS--Girl raised in the south, I would have fared no better than poor Haleth on skis. My backside ached in sympathy. Inglor is a hoot! His innocence and bewilderment is charming to everyone but Haleth. Well, and his looks are appreciated too by the females of the Lossoth. He's like an alien that has been dropped off by the mother ship for a little anthropological study of the strange creatures know as human. The relationship between the two is just great. You've captured the 'spirit' of these two with such vivid detail. They're both so easy to see, but the internal dialogue of Haleth is so dry and semi-disgusted with the whole set up that I can see her expressions. So, Inglor is bowling. To win a palantir. And he's not certain what he'll wager. This should be good. I'm looking forward to this tale continuing. It's just delightful. Karen Author Reply: Thank-you. If there's a way for Inglor to get himself into trouble, rest assured he'll certainly find it. Your description of Inglor as an alien studying human behavior is pretty close to the mark. | |

| Again with the sly humor! Haleth's grumpiness plays well against Inglor's seeminly innocent affect. The image of the children and women flocking around Inglor was, well, realistic in a dryly funny way, as was the ski tracks puntuated by body part prints. I have a feeling that the palantir bowling will go badly. Looking forward to the next. TF Author Reply: I have a confession to make. The body prints in the snow was inspired by a personal experience, although it was snow shoes instead of skis. It was funny to look at...afterwards. | |
