Dear mkemse,
Thank you again for your Review. Please see stories in various periods as archived here and enjoy!

Reviewer: boccaccio2000g (Edit) Rating: Nov 15, 2002
Faibhar's strong suit has always been settings and atmosphere and scores well here on both counts. The story is hampered a bit, though, by the author's rather quirky diction -- sentences which often contain marvelous words, but in an uncharacteristic (and sometimes Byzantine) order. It is a very individual style, and one which I would not recommend to most.
Curiously, in some passages in the author's historical works, the odd word order adds a certain Latinesque quasi-authenticity. But at other times it gets in the way, and makes the author's interesting characters, and always interesting mise-en-scenes a bit more inaccessible than they would otherwise be. (7/10)

Dear B,
Thank you again for your review. And I do hope that your use of "mis-en-scenes" does not cause too many traffic mishaps.
Your comments on this author's syntax, however, are well taken. Casting about for any excuse, I can only come up with early grammar instructon that haunts to this day.
As we all know, Grammar is in a state of constant flux but given your inspiriation I shall endeavor in the future to come up with the most readable/current use of vernacular.

Glad that Faibhar has resumed writing his historic fiction which I appreciate the most. Like his other stories, Faibhar successfully captured the atmosphere of the period with his use of Latin words & names. Details of the various tortures the heroine went through were not described, thus allowing the reader's imagination to fly - making the whole story much more captivating. (8/10)

Dear jamiesonk,
Thank you for your most generous review. Versatility of settings and so forth is the name of the game, though antiquities do have their attractions :).
Another good point is yours of allowing the reader to conjure their own images based on the written scenario, i.e., never spell it out when you can just give a hint here and there.
