I have to admit. I was skeptic when I started reading, kind of ready for a disappointment with this story, but it definitely wasn't. The first three parts sound kind of confusing, in a complimenting way!, because you introduce the characters and the setting of this whole plot, but then people start acting weird, and places start shaping into something else and it got me intrigued. Then I got to Part Four and it was a little difficult to take in the fact that Frank was part of the Faerie world and had to fight a Dragon --who are, according to Gee, LAZY but did fight the fight in the end-- and had to remember his real life and his fate and everything in order to break the enchantment and put things back to normal. That is not the kind of plot I am amused of, but in the end - I was VERY MUCH amused.

I interrupted my reading by Part Five, and did a little research on Faerie folklore, like the names and the meanings and how it has been used in Literature until today, and in the end it really made sense. Every little detail that had been confusing at first, it all started falling into place. And I decided that I enjoyed this story :) I had never really been introduced to Gaelic folklore, but I've liked the way you used to trick me into it.

In conclusion, this was very nicely done :)

Thank you! I'm glad the story won your round in the end! And I'm glad you didn't mind my little trick. I love folklore and faeries and dragons and the like. I'm so glad I could share the love with you.
:)
