The Way Home  by Lindelea 4 Review(s)

They are both capable beings, and in no way is Bill "merely" a pony anymore. I rejoice that they are still together, each seeing the danger and both willing to fight as fully as they can. Bless them both.

Author Reply: I love these characters, especially having been able to envision Bill's growth and Shadowfax's "reality check" (which I suppose is also a kind of growth).

We're approaching their parting, which I'm not looking forward to, except that they will meet again later in the story, and I can look forward to that moment during all the intervening chapters.

Thanks!

(I hope all this wind and rain is neither blowing nor washing you and yours away!)

Uh-oh! Here we go again. Into battle with wolves!


Author Reply: Those pesky wolves! (However, I have been invited to meet someone's wolf IRL, and I am quite looking forward to making their acquaintance.)

Thanks for reading and pausing to leave a comment. I definitely appreciate it.

Amazing switch -- all of a sudden Bill is the leader now.

And Oh no! a cliffhanger...

Author Reply: Quite amazing! Bill has certainly grown in wisdom and confidence. He is also in very familiar territory, and he has his mother's stories to guide him here.

Have no fears; this particular cliffhanger is quickly resolved in the next chapter.

Thanks!

My Sam is with me, in my heart and in my thoughts, and I am not about to let a few wolves come between us.

Oh my. *sniff* This is indeed a love story, and no mistake.

Author Reply: An animal's capacity for love and loyalty, along with trust, never ceases to amaze me.

Thanks for reading and taking the time to share your thoughts!
