wow. this story totally sucked me in.

I tried to find the sequel but apparently this isn't the end to the first part. silly me.

anyway, amazing story. I would be amazed to see how it ends but i guess I'll just have to speculate my little heart out =]

Yeah, actually. Alot of middle aged people, like the setting you have it in now, played the lute and flute together. I'm not sure if the harp was invented back then, but I'm sure some version of it was floating around!
I'm a music nerd... what can I say?
I have to go now, but I'm going to read the rest tomorrow!!

I LOVE THIS STORY! it is so well written! i can't wait to find out what happens!

I know it seems that you left this story long ago but I hope this message reaches you anyways.
This is quite the story. It's not often that I happen upon a story of war and actually like it so it was very disappointing to realize that it was unfinished.
While it is my hope that you will continue this story, I merly ask for a summary of how it was going to end, if you wouldn't mind? If you wish you can send it to my email that I have included in this review.
It's a great story.

You improved a lot regarding this quote as the story progressed.
Thank you for writing!

Why the hell didn't you finish this lovely story! Argh! Cliffhanger! I could hate you for this if it wasn't so awesome! PLease, please finish and then publish!

update o.o please
pleasepleaseplease. i feel like crying and its all your fault. unless you'd update and then i'd be happy again. This story's awesome.

You...are...amazing! This story is incredible. I swear you have to publish this as well as Ostin. After reading Minstrel, I have become one of your dedicated fans (I'm sure you have legions of them)

Interesting. I like the story but saw a typo. "Zamiral gritted his head and bowed his head" lol.

great story! i hope you haven't forgotten about it, and are going to update...i need closure!

wow! this was great! I seriously was up until 4:30 AM reading this! I couldnt' put it down! And now that i'm all frantic you MUST update this piece ASAP! I really really really need to know what's going to happen to Kiochi and Zamiral and Lyris and Haroun (please please let them get together!) and what about Ambrosius and Kiet? And who's going to kill Landis?

PLEASE UPDATE!

: )DH

I really really love this story. Can't wait for more!

What do you have? One last chapter to go then an epilouge? Awsome. Hurry an update then eh? By the way you slurred words were really realalistic. I have to had it to you. Most people don't know how to type out a way a drunk person talks. You actually do. I'm impressed.

Such a riveting story! Poor Lyris -- Haroun is quite a thoughtless **. Initially, in the first chapter, he seemed a practical and caring sort, the kind who mixes with people and is concerned about them. But later on his personality is shown to be more shallow and unintentionally callous. It's intriguing!

Looking foward to your next chapter!

This is sad and yet interesting. I hpoe Zamiral's situation improves.
