Tales from Halabor  by Soledad 2 Review(s)
Elena TirielReviewed Chapter: 5 on 2/17/2009
I really enjoyed these vignettes, Soledad! Especially the glimpses into what life might really have been like, for example, for the farmer who lost his best oxen-caller to the military needs of the community.

And the soft cheese sounded yummy.... LOL!

Very nicely written!

I've just realized that I never answered this review. So sorry. But I'm glad you like these little... things.

Hey Soledad!

I leave in awe of the phenonmenal amount of research that must have gone into this!

But honestly, medieval life is a great interest of mine, and I'm happy when I can use my hobby for other purposes, too. With Tolkien's world, I can even cheat a little, since it's clearly medieval-like yet not entirely medieval, so it's even more fun.
