Lord Genserick 2007-10-05 ch 5,	abuseYour story, seems to be stationed on the lines of longing, and destiny... Interesting, however, I was kind of dissapointed at the short chapters... However, I was impressed that even though they were short, the story was conveyed deeply and well thought out... Good Work, I'll keep track of this... Could u read My main story? Shadows of the seven? I would appreciate it a lot if u gave me a comment even a bad one, as long as it helps...

soojinyeh 2007-09-12 ch 1,	abuseGreat concept. Love the story. Read and review mine please?
The Ferrett 2007-09-10 ch 4,	abuseBut he is wrong. More importantly she knows he is wrong. So what comes next I wonder. She is becoming more clear to me.
The Ferrett 2007-09-10 ch 3,	abuseAnd you confirm the metaphor with concrete evidence. The visual descrips are wonderful and I can almost see the old woman and her staff. The authoress is a little harder.
The Ferrett 2007-09-10 ch 2,	abuseAw. A metaphor and a nice depressing tale. ;;00
The Ferrett 2007-09-10 ch 1,	abuseYour first is intriging. I like how it's subtly divided into two sections, the setting and then the woman. The starting and ending bracket the piece nicely and set up what I feel will be an interesting ride.
Lefty the Right-Handed Shar... 2007-07-30 ch 4,	abuseTehrumaron does not seem to be too fond of her, either. But unlike her, he appears to be content to accept their fate. Probably from being born under the cornerstone, I suppose. ~LtRHS.
Miriam Doyle 2007-07-28 ch 4,	abuseI love the aspersions you cast on the marriage; at times it seems as if the girl wants to marry him, but analogies like the creaking step or the stone near the well make it seem scary or unexpected. I noticed how you foreshadow the girl's wanderlust with her star sign, and contrast it with Tehrumaron's star sign. With a guy like that, I can sort of understand why she doesn't want him O_o No typos this time. Yay!
Miriam Doyle 2007-07-28 ch 3,	abuseI think I now see the connection with the previous parable and the main character. Is the setting a Native American one? That was the kind of feel I got from the name Ji'an. But anyway... I found one spelling error: She had called me that ever since I was a little girls You accidently made girl plural, but apart from that there was nothing else spelt wrong. About the story itself. Once again, I loved the emphasis you place on the grandmother's wisdom and ease of life, while at the same time making her mysterious. I especially liked the description of her laugh; I can imagine the woman seemingly springing forth to life with joy.
Lefty the Right-Handed Shar... 2007-07-26 ch 3,	abuseI don't like her being called Little Sparrow just after hearing the fable. Personally, I think it would have been better if we know she was called Little Sparrow before the fable... Seems slightly contrived as is. Okay, so she maybe doesn't look up to her grandmother as I first thought. Hm. Interesting! ~LtRHS.
Miriam Doyle 2007-07-24 ch 2,	abuseAlready the nature of the story is set using the parable of the Ostrich and the Sparrow; the fact that there is a story behind even the marking of a bird on her staff tells me that there is more than meets the eye about the events of the story. I could say more, but I'm in a bit of hurry O_o! Eep!
DarkBlysse 2007-07-22 ch 3,	abuseI liked this chapter better than the second one. I just wish that you'd made it a little longer. But all that means is that I want to read more--so write more!
DarkBlysse 2007-07-22 ch 1,	abuseAn interesting first chapter, definitely. While short and simple, it still made me want to continue reading.
Lefty the Right-Handed Shar... 2007-07-21 ch 2,	abuse"One day I will inherit that staff" "Is that all I am made for? I ask myself, to be a wife and mother?" So one day she'll become the storyteller? She seems to have a lot of respect for her Grandmother, the current storyteller, and to rely on her. So isn't the job of storyteller desireable? She's made for more than being just a wife and mother, and at the moment that doesn't look like very good justification for being restless. This, "I wonder how my story will read", however, does. The fable in chapter two is a warning against fleeing the nest, the valley, against venturing into the unknown. It clearly relates to her situation and I like that. It's instilled in them from a young age that leaving is bad? This is pretty interesting! LtRHS.
