| Trouble for certain, and I can't help feeling worried for Haldar. Eagerly awaiting the next! Author Reply: Hi, Calime! I've been away, so I'm sorry I've taken so long to reply. Yeah, trouble is a-brewing - and Haldar better watch his back - The next 2 chapters are with my dear friend Cuthalion for beta-ing, and I'll get them up as soon as she finishes. Thanks for reviewing! jo | |

| OK, I really shouldn’t be reading this…for one thing, I haven’t read “The Queen’s Orc” yet. But, well, I sort of peeked at it, and now here I am at Chapter 5. Very engrossing and beautifully written…no surprise there! Middle Earth 3,000 years after the Ring War…what an intriguing concept! Sad, yes, but no more so than LOTR, really. Not too dark yet, but this part seems to be the calm before the storm. I have a weird theory about the barbarians…but don’t want to say what it is yet. If I’m right, I don’t want to spoil the surprise. And if I’m wrong, well, I’ll tell you later what it was! :) Author Reply: Sorry to be so slow in replying, Inkling - I've been on vacation. I'm most curious about your theory on the barbarians - would you be willing to share it with me privately? jodancingtree@yahoo.com Because I do have my own idea who they are, of course, and I wonder if they strike you in that way. Thanks for reviewing - jo | |

| Oh! I'm impressed! I read the story of Canohando in a discontinous way some months ago. I found it.. way too poignant at times, and too Au for my taste, even if it is very very well conceived and written. I didn't review, then.. those were my lurking times... ;-) But this one, years after those well known events, is great!!! The dwindling of the shire is so full of melancholy in its unavoidability, the fierce , loyal Canohando and his descendants fighting to avoid it, and this wild Logi, an Orc in a time that doesn't know about them! It simply got me. NO doubt your smooth style, the easy way you manage to describe events without stacking the chapter of dialogue helped too, as that kind of distant, enchanted pov to events that aren't mthycal but that did not happen yesterday... well, i'm hooked by this. Only a suggestion. Even if I can guess what your summary points at... I think it is not the most accurate summary for engaging readers, and, come what may, I think that once you've come to know LOgi and his particularities, every darkness, as you say, will be counteracted by some ray of hope, some glimpse of grace! At least I, for one, have signed for e-mail alert! Author Reply: Hi, Perelleth! I'm so glad you're enjoying this one, and thanks for the heads' up on the summary - I'll have to try and make it a bit more engaging. I'm glad you signed on, anyway! jo | |

| oh dear, nothing good will come of this, but at least she found him somewhat attractive. Can hardly wait for the next ch. Thanks Rose Author Reply: Sorry to be so long in replying, Rose - I've been on vacation. Oh yes, she finds him attractive, unlikely as that seems - the reason will come out later... Glad you're reading! jo | |
