Ardor in August Reviews: Various
I have been reading a few of the AiA stories and I thought I would post three of the reviews together in brief for each. I am a bit behind and need to catch up. So here we go, in whirlwind manner...

This story had me giggling and laughing through out and it was a real bawdy tale. Two gorgeously described elves reunited and seriously attracted to each other. Throw some good gossip into the mix and great character writing and you have true entertainment here. I really loved this story and found that the attraction between the two here was magnetic. I also would like to note that the phrasing in this is crisp and interesting. Great!

This was a story of mistaken impression, drunken nights and ultimately happy conclusions. I found that the real strength in this tale was that I could totally identify with the main characters and I was always on edge here and could no predict what the outcome was going to be. This story was written with wit and a clever mind to the detail. Really fun romp.

I have been struggling since I read this one to find just the right way to review this story. I will fail miserably as this is so poetic and haunting a story as to leave a lasting imprint on my mind. It floats in structure and is written in such a way as to visually reflect the experience that it represents. This is an amazingly unique piece that made me sit and reflect for a long time when I finished it. Just beautiful. It will stay with me for a long time.
Well done all of these authors.
