And just when I thought the story was wrapped up you throw in a cliffhanger…, loving it. Again.

Wow...thought this was over and a new adventure is launched....aether and sea battles....I hope so!!!

That's a lot of troops

Oh my. And here I thought that we were coming to the end of the story. It just gets more intriguing.

Gripping.

You continue to surprise, delight and entertain with your characters and stories. Long may you continue to write.

Another twist in a brilliant tale. Can’t wait for the next chapter !

I wouldn't have minded if Tauma would have gotten involved with his sister :D

Just as I think Tauma and company will have a few years to rest...here comes Beksha and company to try to upstage them right away! This has to be the BIGGEST curve ball you've ever thrown. Just the number you've named means Beksha outnumbers Tauma's forces 2 to 1 at least; you must have this one well-planned or you wouldn't have thrown THAT out there.

Making Tanle a Tir was a no-brainer: really...who was the most integral part of winning the last war? Tanle! Alissara wasn't far behind and I love how you drew her to not be ambitious--because she IS the right kind of leader. Fitting title for Durgat; however, could he have a larger role in this? For the fighters he has, of course he will--but I'm talking as a speaking role--since he showed some wit on the level of Sezima's. I heartily agree with Hurmas returning to Whydah and pursuing Bathene--and Hurmas is very selfless--so he does deserve her for a reward. I just can't help thinking if somehow you'd let them have 2 years to rebuild Whydah that Hurmas would side with Tauma and give those mercenaries one hell of fight on that alone.

It's a great touch to invest both Tauma and Sanatha as co-rulers--because Sanatha IS the voice of reason--and she shared equally in helping Tauma take back Elmina ultimately. Making Sirma the heir is very fair, for Tauma paying tribute to how Aludar used to be with him. I like how you returned Seiyre to some prominence: I hope she indeed manages to copy enough of the manuscripts to spread the truth about Tauma.

Tauma's Great Council was very fair indeed, and diverged greatly from his father's aloof and disconnected ruling of Varna. However, Glasha did seem greatly forgotten. Of course her time-walking helped--but it won't help against Beksha and the pirate in question since she doesn't know them.

I was so glad to see this post...now you have me biting my nails again on how you intend to resolve this on the heels of such a costly and draining war for succession. 5

Sounds like time for a whole lot of oil on the water from upstream, and a well timed match.

Oh, shit!

Well done, AE

The story gets better and better
