Having trifled with some optical work once upon a time, the line about "attention to detail that would drive a lens-grinder mad" had me giggling quite a bit. I really like the story so far, it does bring the background information to life very well. And, yes, I do want to read more. To see what poor Pestergrove will manage, and how much the centaur Two Creeks manages perhaps in spite of him. Oh yeah, and to find just what this dragon is.

I was overdue to read something of yours... to think I haven't yet given the backlog any shot! I at least ought to keep up with the new things.

I must say, I laughed quite a few times!

Pestergrove is exactly the kind of anti-hero you can't bring yourself to dislike, though I admit I like King Theofar most - what an amazingly efficient bastard. What's not to love?

I especially liked the cot passage at the very beginning - shows you what kind of person Pestergrove is very well.

Your narrative style is never out of place, never overwhelming. The reader seamlessly wanders through flasbacks and hardly notices the rift at all.

Extremely well-done.

I see no obvious flaw after a single read - and that's something impressive. The only things I could have found would have been based on personnal tastes, but then again fantasy/humor fits me just fine, so again there's nothing wrong here even if I think hard on it.

It's always nice to see just how behind I am on reading all of these. Hey, it's less than a year!

This was quite the excellent read for... 11:30 PM through bleary eyes. The characters all immediately formed entirely in my mind, the world is wonderfully wide, if you'll pardon the alliteration. I thought the pacing was a bit off, more frantic at the start and then puzzlingly slow after the coblynau arrived. I do hope there's more to this.

I usually have trouble when I have these huge info dump scenes. I find them interesting, but I think most people think it's slow, too. There's more, but I've kind of given up posting stories to FA because no one seems to read them.

I'm sorry! D:

I'll admit I've noticed a severe decrease in the amount of comments I get anymore, from when I first started. I think everyone's just busy. I'm still getting months-old comments on occasion, though, you just need to be patient. :| Writing ain't pretty around here.

By which I of course mean the writing scene. The writing itself is often amazing. :D
