Comments on: Taerith: Chapter Fourteen http://www.rachelstarrthomson.com/2007/04/275/ Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:24:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Libby Russell http://www.rachelstarrthomson.com/2007/04/275/comment-page-1/#comment-364 Libby Russell Sat, 19 May 2007 04:11:00 +0000 http://www.rachelstarrthomson.com/2007/04/275/#comment-364 It took me all day, but I finally was able to finish this chapter! (If I had been home today this comment would have been posted shortly after my last one.)<br/><br/>Starr, I hate that I love Borden. Uuuurrggh, it's frustrating. I'm making noises of frustration! Every time you have a section specifically about Borden it makes me more intrigued by him and I just... I just love him. The line about picking up his father... "He had taken him up in his own arms, pulled him close, trying to feel warmth—breath—something." Beautiful. I can feel Borden's pain and bitterness. Josh is right, you're cruel. CRUEL.<br/><br/>I think I get the priest thing now. There was a distinction between the good priest and the bad priest that was a tad vague for me at first, but now it's clear. Meronane is the bad one, and the good one is in the dungeon. Meronane is CREEPY... how he thinks he's got God on his side...yikes.<br/><br/>Well done! Now if my eyeballs don't protest by falling out, I'm going to read your next chapter. It took me all day, but I finally was able to finish this chapter!

Starr, I hate that I love Borden. Uuuurrggh, it’s frustrating. I’m making noises of frustration! Every time you have a section specifically about Borden it makes me more intrigued by him and I just… I just love him. The line about picking up his father… “He had taken him up in his own arms, pulled him close, trying to feel warmth—breath—something.” Beautiful. I can feel Borden’s pain and bitterness. Josh is right, you’re cruel. CRUEL.

I think I get the priest thing now. There was a distinction between the good priest and the bad priest that was a tad vague for me at first, but now it’s clear. Meronane is the bad one, and the good one is in the dungeon. Meronane is CREEPY… how he thinks he’s got God on his side…yikes.

Well done! Now if my eyeballs don’t protest by falling out, I’m going to read your next chapter.

Sun, 29 Apr 2007 07:04:00 +0000 http://www.rachelstarrthomson.com/2007/04/275/#comment-354 Ooooh! Excellent chapter. It had me on the edge of my seat. (literally!) Your descriptions are amazing; I can picture every scene. You are developing the story so well and interweaving the characters. I love the way you use dialouge, like flavoring it's just enough. The fanatic priest is an especially well-formed character. I can hardly wait to see what is going to happen. Thanks for posting! Ooooh! Excellent chapter. It had me on the edge of my seat.

I know why you like writing at night. It's nighttime now, and it feels so cozy to sit down and read your story and savor every word. The only way it could be any cozier is if I was holding it in my hand and it was bound in rich leather with engravings on it and had thick, ragged-edged old pages and I was curled up with it by candlelight sipping on hot chocolate. . .<br/><br/> Actually, I imagined Lilia reading her book by warm candelight, until you said the curtains were half open, and then I still imagined it was night and she was reading by warm candlelight. ;-)<br/> And I love all your characters! Except for that suspicious priest fellow and King Annar and Hosten.<br/> I realize this is a flighty comment and my heads still up somewhere in dreamland and I don't have anything truly intellegent to say, but I love your story.

Well done, Rachel. But I have to agree with Emily that that was no place to leave the chapter. <br/>Okay, the other thing is that I'm wondering if the priest guy is good or bad. I just honestly can't tell. Taerith is so cool. Well done, Rachel. But I have to agree with Emily that that was no place to leave the chapter.

I must say though that I agree with emily mae's comment about leaveing us. :) I am not so sure that I like this priest, he seems awfully evil to me. :shivers in slight fear: But I do hope you post soon.

Rachel Starr Thomson, you CANNOT just leave us there. I want chapter 15, now! Seriously, how can you ethically allow yourself to halt the story there indefinitely? This is a great chapter! I thought (as I often do) how very much like a movie your stories seem. The way you describe things and how the characters speak is very cool and seems like something I can imagine easily as being on screen. Very cool.<br/><br/>Love you Starr! and….IS THAT IT???
