The story moves so fast that I just ought to comment! I’ve just finished chapter 40.

I lack words to say how much Ashleg’s death affected me. It was kind of spoilered for me by comments, so I knew what to expect. But the way he went out was completely astonishing. I expected him to die trying to kill Tsarmina or maybe trying to save Gingivere, but what happened was much more impressive. Dying fighting is… well, not easy, but in this case there is always a chance that you succeed and come out as a winner. Even if its one to million chance, it’s still a chance. What Ashleg did… just going there and dying because you know that any other alternative is going to hurt others, knowing that there’s not a single chance to be saved, knowing that nothing would ever save you and still going out to die… That’s real heroism, I bow before him.

It was unexpected that so many hares and horses died during the battle with Ripfang, but it’s very realistic. I have a question, though: how Redcloud got to Salamandastron? Did she travel there from Marshank on her own? And was Wildfire’s father there all along?

The reunion of Martin, Sayna and Noonvale… it was so touching and sad. Really, they had came through all that only to see their loved ones in slavery, Aryah dead and Rose and Urran near death!

My love for the vermin crew – Whegg, Regina, Estella and Sandingomm – continues to grow. I really begin to appreciate Sandingomm and her internal struggle now. It’s interesting twist that she had to help free Gingivere despite not actually liking the idea… Whegg and Regina are such adorable couple, I ship them! :D

By the way, I’ve seen the new characters you’ve come up with for ‘Accused’ – they are fabulous! Both Kinta and Vinwyte have such interesting designs!
