I'm enjoying reading your story. Unfortunately, chapter 13 is a copy of chapter 12, instead of a continuation.

Love this story. Your writing, characters, plot, all is excellent so far. I look forward to reading the rest.

Another great chapter. Much more was revealed about Shan'kobe here, which was wonderful. Great work. Can't wait to finish it.

This was an excellent beginning. I really liked how you slowly revealed more information as the story progressed. I almost thought that the messenger would live, almost. Well, this was very good.

also, I was looking over your profile, and I really think you have one of the most unique profiles on FPN. Well, bye, good job and thanks for the review.

in para three you wrote 'silently she motioned silently' (too much silence)and i liked this bit
'I want explanations, friends. Long explanations, with details.'lol, dunno y but thort it sounded funny...hmm and i really liked the ending of the chapter :D
will add u to my faves and come back later though, coz i've g2g very gud - so keep writing stuff!!

hey. this is really good, i'm intrigued already! All of these words seem really interesting 'Shan’kobe' and stuff :D looks really interesting. (btw - i like reviewing first chapters, to see how my opinions change) Also - absolutely perfect, as far as I can tell, with the spelling and grammar hehe.
You reviewed my story 'Zanthidral' about a week ago, and you helped me by checking it over and so it's sort of better now, so i was wondering if you'd like to be my better reader? I could email you the chapters as and when i right them and either highlight or correct bits maybe? Or I could tell you when I've put a new chapter up and you could tell me in a review if you'd prefer. Newa, don't worry about it :D
Story = really good!!
in your bio, 'diane hoe' and 'Carol Ellis' (i think) write point horror books, and I was wondering if you read/used to read them?
will go read some more story now though :) xx

To start with, I loved the title of this chapter. I have a thing about titles. Either they get me hooked or they sent me away.

I loved the painting scene. This is something that is often forgotten in stories, the power of art. I'm glad this is not the case here.

As for the rest of the chapter, I'm a bit confused with too many names to keep everything clear in my head. I hope that it will be sorted out in the next chapters.

Apart from that, I really liked your style.

PS
Thanks for the reviews. And I absolutely see your kitty injokes. Same thing goes on here...

The opening is captivating. I really loved the first paragraph. It got me hooked.

I liked his thoughts and his notion that he is of importance. And the mistress is one figure I want to know more about.

The en’kahl were fascinating, but I'd rather have a more detailed description of them. Not much; just if they were beasts, demons or humanoids.

The mistress was equally fascinating. Cold and merciless. And the background around the stone caught my eye once more.

For a moment, I thought she'd spare him. But when he turned to dust, I knew it was fitting. And I wouldn't want it otherwise.

I don't understand what's going on. I can't keep track of the characters, because I have no context in which to place it, and I don't understand what's happened before. *sigh* I'm sure that, eventually, things will be cleared up, but for now, I'm very confused.
Am I right in assuming that Ralina is the antagonist? She seems evil. If she is, then it's an interesting choice - to make the main character the antagonist. I like it. ^^
Also, thank you for reading/reviewing Shadowstorm!

That really isn't very nice of her. You shouldn't kill or destroy your allies, unless you know they won't be your allies much longer. *sighs* Oh, well. I like this anyway. Will read more later.
Also, thank you for your reviews of Kiy, and for the editing-note; I'll fix that ASAP. Thanks. ^_~ My grammar was pretty screwy when I started writing Kiy (a long, long time ago, in a galaxy not so far away).

this should be the Ragewater Chronicales: the meaning of life. The philosphical questions and motives concerning Tahixha were very effective- timeless, I mean-, producing a ...very...effective... chapter. Note to self: purchase a damn thesaurus and brian. Brain, too, would help, plus fingers that type well. Oh hell, the list goes on, and I'm procrastinating. Me? Never! Bahahaha! Ha.

I'm in the mood for more RW, but, nay, there's no more! Post, m'dear, post!

haha! nice comebacks! ~gets out pen and paper~ Must make note of them for future reference with fights with brother.

Again: apologies for the lateness!
Great chapter- very effective cutting between present and past recollections, definately building up the anticipation!

Oh the mysterious Braxus! In my interpretation there's quite the sexual tension about with them. Or maybe I'm just horny. j/k :)
I like the part of striking 'awe into their hearts- well, perhaps not Aldene's'-- made me chuckle.

What can I say? POST MORE!

Oh yeah-- *NOT* a crap chapter!

Amen to being tired of delaying on both parts: you on posting, me on reviewing!

:) Nicely done! The sudden amnesia-thing at the end was brilliant- very effective.
Personally, I can't decide between the two terms: they're both good. Although, in my head (where the evil fluffy pink bunny slippers roam with the purple elephants at tea parties), methinks Bladesmen are the commoners and Bladelords the upper class leaders. So, being the pretentious snob that I am, I'd go for Bladelords. yesm.
