| Well, I was starting to read "An Autumn Fair in Halabor" when it occurred to me that I had a guilt-free reason to come back first to this story and savor it all over again! I've really enjoyed getting reacquainted with your incredible cast of characters. So rich and complex and REAL, in a town of the same. I've said it before, but it's a little akin to reading the very best medieval history text, but far more entertaining. Still love this quote: "We might walk straight into darkness, and that soon, but at least we do not despair." That's the brave and forthright of Gondor, right there. Again, a great story with great writing. Thanks so much for sharing! And, you know, when you get time... another chapter??? *hopeful look* Author Reply: Thank you. :) Sorry for the late answer - life is just being generally troublesome at the moment. I'm glad you still enjoy Halabor, and indeed, reading this first and "Autumn Fair" second is chronologically the right way to do it. As you know, I really love everything medieval, and it's great fun for me to use my little obsession in my stories. Of course, Tolkien's world isn't really medieval (small impossibilities like Galadriel wearing white while living in a tree come to mind, hehehe!), but medieval-like enough to use my modest knowledge to add to the atmosphere. | |
