Sorry...have read all three in this series with great enthusiasm (have long had what-if thoughts about the queen's battle, and am pleased to see someone else put them to paper!)

Will try and come up with more constructive comments later - it's been a long week. I particularly like this installment since we get to see everyone. (I do like villainous Kylara, but only in small doses, and Brekke and F'nor have long been favourites.)

Am intrigued to see what might happen next!

(Not sure if you remember me - am more or less moribund on LJ these days. Oddly enough, I'm now living in Scotland...you spent some time here, I think?)

Thank you so for commenting! It makes me happy. :) I'm so glad you're enjoying the story arc. I kind of know what the bad guys are up to and how they'll end up, but I'm less certain about the Bendenites.

I remember you from my involvement in Harry Potter. I forget what we talked about, but I know that we talked! Scotland, huh? Where in Scotland? I lived there for not quite a year from 2000 - 2001. I was in Edinburgh. The western highlands is the most beautiful place I've ever been. What are you there for?

Heh heh, now I can do the squeeing I had to tone down for beta professionalism's sake. This is lovely. You get characterization right on, and I love how you write the dragons, and ... just wow! Introducing Mebora is a great plot-twisty way to do the ending.

Changing those few little things really helped.

Can't wait to read more. Considering how much still seems to be up in the air now, I will be impressed if you really manage to wrap everything up in one more story. Hey, wait, you've reached the end of the poem, where are you going to get the title for the next? :)

[thistlerose]

Thank you!! :)

Mmm, the fourth part might be longer than the previous three. I'm already thinking of breaking it into chapters, since it's going to span something like half a year. And I don't know what to call it at all! When I decided to use the song, I thought there'd only be one story. Oops. I can never write just one of anything.

I'm sorry it took me a few days to get to this, but it's fantastic.

I love your evil weyr stories so much. F'nor and Brekke, together with dragons, were great, and the evil characters are having so much fun. I wasn't expecting the ending, and I can't wait to find out what happens next. :)

I'm starting to wonder what poor old Prideth thinks of all this. I hope she starts to assert herself soon.

[thistlerose]

Thank you so much!

Poor Pridith. She's the reason I'm so relucant to give Kylara her comeuppance.

I'm in love, serious love with this fic :).

Oh, thank you! I'm so glad to hear that. :) There is a sequel in the works; it's just moving along at a glacier's pace.
