That was a marvelous chapter, well worth the wait—especially the tale of Aifheh and Sehau, which was truly touching and uplifting. I feel one of your greatest strengths as a writer is your ability to create mythologies for your societies that are evocative of the feel of those societies while at the same time being wonderful stories in and of themselves. That's one of the things that makes your Wizardry series so great, and probably a big reason that a lot of people are hoping and praying you'll finish the Door series so we can learn how it all comes out. :)

It's going to be hard waiting for the next chapter to come out.
