Swan Song  by Conquistadora 5 Review(s)

“If he were any more tame he would be a pelt on the floor.” Hee! :-D

I would protest to the baddies that if they want what’s theirs they should be loyal to the king - those loyal to him will have all that is theirs and more. However, since the baddies really want what is the king’s, such protestations would be pointless. Anyway, this is not spur of the moment, obviously, but a long-running corruption. And, just a terrible man …

regretting not a moment ...ah. I think I know how he feels.
The fox "pet" is a hoot!
“I suspect those years weigh more than we know,” Imrahil said. Words wisely spoken, I suspect.
Falathar. Hmmmmm. Sounds to me like he deserves his son. ...on the Steward's seat... Yikes! I'm equally (or maybe more so) aghast!
menagerie - masterful contempt (Lin mutters a bad word in his direction). And yes, Falathar is just as bad (and worse) as my first impression of him. Looking forward to his just desserts.
The introduction of so many threads into this tapestry you're weaving is masterfully done. Looking forward to reading more.

Oh, wow. I absolutely love "I Return" (now "Sons of Fellowship"; and let me tell you of the panic moment I had when I was searching for the story under the old title, couldn't find it, and couldn't recall your penname), and was thrilled to see this addition.

But I'm prompted to leave this review by my now vicious desire to see Falathar get what's coming to him. Have yet to make my way through the rest of the story but I'm crossing my fingers for a rambunctious romp through Pelargir with adventures, sword fights, magic spells, a prince in disguise.... :) Basically, LOTR does Pirates is my hope.

I would also like to ask for permission to retain these stories and format them for my e-reader? I don't repost or redistribute, I just ask when I find stories I love not cross-posted to a site such as AO3 (which lets me download in epub format) so I can save them to my e-reader.



Author Reply: Sorry about that! I'm glad you were able to find it again, and you may absolutely save anything you like for your e-reader. Thanks for reviewing! :)

Falathar is a scummy slaver; but his son has a blood claim on the Stewardship? I'm wondering who Falathar's wife was...The plot thickens!

Ah, this one is no better than he should be, then. I doubt that things will go anywhere as well as he now imagines. And Baldor appears to be heading for a rather spectacular fall, or so I would guess it.
