You finished already? I kind of expected this to reach at least 15 or 20 chapters, knowing your shortest work was at 40 chapters. :D Well, I finished chapter 9 and decided to comment to keep the amount of my comments somewhat balanced… Because commenting so rarely makes me uneasy.

I didn’t expect to see Scound still with Swartt, and a Captain at that. While he didn’t become completely good in TPF, I thought he realized that he won’t achieve anything with the life of a hordebeast.

While Mayberry being judgmental is not a good thing, I can’t help but feel sorry for her. She must’ve been very lonely if she grew close with Xzanthia so fast, especially since she distrusts vermin, Xzanthia included. Hmm… When Martin was seeing Roderick in Bryony it suddenly occurred to me that Martin, like, barely knew Roderick. ;) It always were Sayna and Timbal fighting Roderick while Martin was busy doing something else. By the way, I have this feeling that Bryony finding gloves won’t end well… and now Xzanthia wants to see her! Does she suspect that she suspects? ;)

Oh, Star’s antics!.. I have a new favourite character now. :D The daughter of two the fastest horses in Mossflower can’t run? And you mentioned that she is going to run in a race at some point in the future? Well, let’s hope Cedric is a good trainer. ;)

I liked the scene in the camp when Cedric tried explaining how ‘hot’ he is… let’s say he asked for that bucket of water from Catkin! :D I also loved the desert episodes. It was such a great contrast to see Cedric in his element at last while Fripple and Co were barely coping with the heat. :) By the way, Fripple, Veil, you know that if you hire a guide who lived all his life in a desert that you know nothing about, you’d better actually listen to him?

Interesting take on jackals, I actually expected them to be anthromorphized – if foxes are, why not jackals? ;) They would’ve been desert bandits who roam the sands and attack and rob trade caravans and random travelers. That would’ve fit the Redwall setting. :)
