Comments on: Taerith: Chapter Twenty-Four http://www.rachelstarrthomson.com/2007/08/286/ Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:24:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Libby Russell http://www.rachelstarrthomson.com/2007/08/286/comment-page-1/#comment-435 Libby Russell Sun, 02 Sep 2007 19:26:00 +0000 http://www.rachelstarrthomson.com/2007/08/286/#comment-435 :-) I could tell you had recently milked a cow when you wrote this. right? <br/><br/>Poor baby. Poor Mirian! Man, I would hate to feel like she must; alone, helpless, responsible for the life of an infant she can hardly feed, and being pursued by evil dudes all the while. But Taerith showed up just like a hero should, and the confrontation he starts in the tavern is great. I did my usual cheer for his heroic action. But now he has to find her again before Borden! <br/><br/>Man, I'm not liking Borden these days. No, I've pretty much disowned him. Maybe I wouldn't have if you'd given me reason to hope. But alas, he's the villain. Sadness. (does he look like Cirran Hinds in your imagination? I was seeing him like that for a while, but now I see him more like Clive Owen... but that's beside the point.)<br/><br/>Kardas is probably the coolest side character ever. But I kind of wish he had lied to Borden. Too honorable for that, I guess. I noticed Taerith didn't lie to the thugs, either. I like that. I pretty much hate when good characters resort to lying to get out of trouble. Come on. Lying is sinful! (hee hee, but I DID want Kardas to lie, I'm just a hypocrite I suppose.)<br/><br/>Oh, and a few things I forgot to say in my last comment since I was being impatient:<br/><br/>Annar, during Borden's confrontation with him, when Borden's hatred started all that roiling and seething, he was more vivid than in any other place in the book, I thought. His personality was clearer. You seemed to summarize him, and in doing so gave a clearer picture of who he was, how he had antagonized his brother, how he had no honor, and how Borden could be so tempted to end him.<br/><br/>The last thing I don't want to forget mentioning is Mistress Grey. I really like her. The crotchety old woman with a good heart, who you don't plan on liking but then do. :-) I'm glad she's in the story. :-) I could tell you had recently milked a cow when you wrote this. right?

Man, I’m not liking Borden these days. No, I’ve pretty much disowned him. Maybe I wouldn’t have if you’d given me reason to hope. But alas, he’s the villain. Sadness. (does he look like Cirran Hinds in your imagination? I was seeing him like that for a while, but now I see him more like Clive Owen… but that’s beside the point.)

Kardas is probably the coolest side character ever. But I kind of wish he had lied to Borden. Too honorable for that, I guess. I noticed Taerith didn’t lie to the thugs, either. I like that. I pretty much hate when good characters resort to lying to get out of trouble. Come on. Lying is sinful! (hee hee, but I DID want Kardas to lie, I’m just a hypocrite I suppose.)

Oh, and a few things I forgot to say in my last comment since I was being impatient:

Annar, during Borden’s confrontation with him, when Borden’s hatred started all that roiling and seething, he was more vivid than in any other place in the book, I thought. His personality was clearer.

'xcuse me as I go bite my bed to relieve the tension *runs and bites bed* (Really if you're ever tense just go bite a bed it really helps it almost helps as much as running around flapping your arms and barking like a seal!But don't try to bite a wall, trust me it doesn't work! I know from experience!) Kardas is cool, I think I'll dump Robin Hood and become Kardases apprentice instead... Really! I should have done that before, you know with all his cool fighting the tribes men and all but then again being so quite and all he may not teach me much... oh well back to good ole Robin! <br/><br/>Anonymous =) Neeki Meeki Lookie Hoo! ‘xcuse me as I go bite my bed to relieve the tension *runs and bites bed* (Really if you’re ever tense just go bite a bed it really helps it almost helps as much as running around flapping your arms and barking like a seal!But don’t try to bite a wall, trust me it doesn’t work!

I love the tension as Mirian stays on the run and Taerith works to help her and Kardas is so quiet (I Love Kardas) and Borden so undone. :) It's great. But now we MUST know what happened to Taerith, and who the riders are near Mirian. ARGH!! Hurry up the next chapter, Missie!! :)<br/><br/>love,<br/>Em :-D Whew, awesome chapter!!
