As they get more familiar/comfortable with each other, I can start to see you and Cyn in them. The small things, the gestures, and just the feel of their conversations. It makes them seem real. Now which of you is Lilia and which is Mirian, I'm not sure. ;-)<br/><br/>I liked your description of Kardas in this chapter, it solidified him in my mind's eye. And your way of slowly revealing more about him in each chapter is intriguing. You give us one little tid-bit and then leave us wanting more. His encounter with Joachim and then his return to Borden, his ferocity through starvation, his advice to Taerith in the battle. He's surpassing Borden in my esteem merely in his aloof aura of... I'm not sure what.<br/><br/>The battle scene was well-set. The basic description of the valley was enough of a format to put in my head, so when you went directly from the description of the valley to the warriors charging, I could see it all playing out. One of those reads-like-watching-a-movie moments. It’s rather funny, but now that I’ve been around you and your twin, I can see the influence you have in writing Lilia and Mirian’s relationship.

You can't just LEAVE us there! That's horrid.<br/>I liked everything that happened in this chapter, but overall it seemed perhaps a little...choppy? I'm not sure. I think the point of view just shifted a LOT so it felt more choppy than usual.<br/>Mirian's gonna learn to read! :) I liked that.<br/>How far along is Lilia in her pregnancy, by the way?<br/>Good Job!! :-) STAAAAAAAAAARR! You can’t just LEAVE us there! That’s horrid.
