Herumor and Erendis would have dealt well with each other - it's a shame that they didn't manage to have a short while together. Herumor's reasons are very valid, too. Erendis would have made an excellent Lady of Halabor. Orchald seemed quite pleased to get things settled. I loved this series of tales about the inhabitants of Halabor - even if most of them had a really sad postscript! Sorry to be late reviewing the last ones - but Christmas got in the way! Author Reply: Thanks for staying with me all the way. :) There will be more Halabor stories, eventually. | |

A lovely and practical proposal, and very sad that it came, as I suspected, to nothing. It has been very strange to read these little stories, so cunningly interwoven, and so beautifully and lovingly researched, yet each one chapter with its own sad little footnote. Very realistic and true to life--destruction, whether from war or natural disaster, falls randomly as it will, on the good, the bad, the rich, the poor, the sick and the healthy, and some are spared little more than personal inconvenience, and some lose all they have, while others lose their very lives, and whether the disaster is called the forces of Mordor or a hurricane called Katrina--it makes no difference in the end. Thank you for these stories. Author Reply: Thank you for reading the whole thing so faithfully, and thanks for the steady flow of feedback. That is our only payment, and you have made me very rich. :) | |

This was a wonderful tale depicting the lifes of Halabor's inhabitants. I was looking forward to what each day would bring, the joy, the strugle and sorrow. You painted a very realistic picture of these people and their heritage. It was sad that so very few survived. Thank you for a well written story. Best wishes for the New Year, Soledad.
