Hotspur & Steelsheen  by Medea Smyke 1 Review(s)

The news that the hermit is a nudist made me literally LOL.

This is a lovely exchange, with its colloquial judgment of Guthere's heft and Gladhon's natural reluctance:

"How will we carry him?" Thurstan asked. "Guthere's not exactly a bucket of oats."

Cenhelm frowned deeply. "And where is there to go? Back to the hermit's hut? The bad air would kill him if the head wound did not."

"No," said Thengel. "Gladhon, you're our guide. What do you say?"

Gladhon considered a moment, looking for all the world that he wished someone else had been guide


There's a nice little mystery here:

"Your uncle's one fault is that he is more forgiving than you realize."

And the moment when Thengel sees Morwen is breathtaking.



Author Reply: Hello Daw,

I'm sure Thengel and his men will be able to laugh about their encounter with the hermit, as well. ;) I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter - thank you for another kind review.
