Emissary of the Mark  by Soledad 2 Review(s)

This is the one story that you have that I do try to follow closely but with the slow production velocity I miss chapters. Therefore, it was wonderful to see that two have come out since the last one that I read.
You do so nicely with these characters and there is a certain....epic quality to this piece that I have had trouble finding in others that you have done. I very much look forward to learning about the meeting to come and the interaction between our future Marshall and your OC.

The truth is, I've sworn off the epic stuff, after having written it for decades in original fiction. It gets a little boring after a while. I prefer to try my writing muscles in different genres, it's more fun.

This is a rewritten original story that has been adapted to Tolkien's Ardaverse, hence the difference to my other stuff. But I'm pleased that at least some people enjoy it.

Elfhelm has a long way to go yet, before "getting the girl", but I shall endeavour to do the translation from Hungarian a little faster in the future.

This is so satisfying! The story still has a travelogue feel to it, with Strider as a learned guide, and I like it very much.

Author Reply: Thank you! :)

The really interesting parts are yet to come, but I wanted to move the story from its dead spot. Hopefully, you won't have to wait another two years for the next update. *g*
