Rubilacxe Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 As with Constantine, I am awed by this chapter. This chapter, as with so many of Scrolls of Icaria, emphasizes the incredible merging of so many arts into one amalgam. Thank you, Jamie, for such a wonderous and moving chapter. I await tremulously for the next chapter! Link to comment
TalonRider Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 In a sense, the first shot has been fired. Jamie's made his stand and has been planning since that time. Jamie's done the damage that he intended with this performance. Bollini can no longer make money off the move that made Christophe famous. He's shown them that even "the Mice" can be taught complicated moves. Now he's going to have the Prince of Hypernia to contend with again. Link to comment
Tiger Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 As we learned about Renaud, being the Emperors personal body guard, he is aware of a lot of things. Yes, and he seems to be in favor of it as well. I'm thinking that all hell is going to break loose in the next chapter. Link to comment
aj Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 I wanted to mention that I was fairly blown away by chapter 39. It was by far the most technically ambitious chapter Jamie has undertaken to date, and it was handled with precision and grace. My hat's off to him for that accomplishment. I just finished the first edit of chapter 40 and sent it off to J. It's kind of a shorty, though it has a lot of emotional impact, and my newest 'fave characters,' the Trio, has a solid presence. Like others, I have been wondering (though perhaps unlike others, I'm also worrying) about what will happen to the Trio. I guess we'll all find out together. cheers! aj Link to comment
TalonRider Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 In discussion at The House, fans have often mentioned their concern for the Trio wondering what their fate was. Were they put into stasis or did they get left behind? Link to comment

Were they put into stasis or did they get left behind? I hope they're still alive, but it would seem that they're not. We'll have to wait and see. If they're alive, where are they? Link to comment

aj Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 If I were to speculate, and it would be pure speculation because I don't read the chapters a whole lot before you lot do, and Jamie and I don't confab on IM over the plot like we used to, I'd say that we won't really know what happened to the Trio until we reach the other side of the barrier. I think there's gonna be a lot of stuff over there that's gonna surprise hell outta the churchy types... AJ Link to comment
ricky Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I think it is safe to say you are right. I seem to have trouble getting the cursor to go below the quote so you'll have to pretend it's at the top. But I never considered what we would find on the other side of the barrier. More food for thought.

TalonRider Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 At this point, we really don't know a whole lot about what we will find on the other side of the barrier. We do know that humans and Kalorians survived on the northern part of the continent so we can expect to find survivors inside the barrier. But, who is in control? We do know that the Kalorians were going to try and save as many of the Icarians as possible. As for the Trio, I don't expect to see them. I think they go out fighting. Link to comment
aj Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Hmm...perhaps you're right. It would be a stronger story if they did go out fighting, because it would make it less 'happy endings for all,' and we know that that kind of 'everyone survives and lives happily ever after' is not a Jamie trait. I'll have to think more about that. cheers! AJ Link to comment
TalonRider Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 UPDATE: Chapter 43 is coming soon. Link to comment
aj Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I have finished the third edit on chapter 43... and changed things right up until the very last note. It's a helluva chapter: I defy anyone to read this chapter without a lump in your throat and maybe a tear in your eye. Really good stuff! AJ Link to comment

Lugnutz Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Alot of action in this one. One more chapter in this section by the looks of it, then the element chapters. If I had a hat on, I would take it off and bow accordingly. Link to comment
Eli Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Wow, what to say about this story... First of all, it is fantastic and if you haven't read it - you should. I had never read a gay themed fantasy novel before and I was so happy to have stumbled across this one. I have really fallen in love with all the characters and I can't wait till some new chapters come out. My favorite chapters are in book two, chapters 15 and up - I think this is the strongest part of the books so far because you get an intimate view of who the main character really is - I think this is when I really fell in love with the book. Also, I feel like Jamie (the writer) could easily do some spin off books with some of the supporting characters; namely, Renaud. Lots of potential there, I find him to be a really interesting character. While reading the story, I was compelled to paint a portrait of the main character. Thought it would be fun to share with other readers, so here it is in case anyone wants to look: http://www.jordanpatchak.com/artwebsite/Bl...e%E2%80%9D.html Be warned: this story will suck you in and you won't want to leave... Much love and thank you for sharing this beautiful tale with all of us. Link to comment

Charles would be another interesting one to see. Link to comment
TalonRider Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Chapter 44, the last chapter of Book 2, Part III, The Baron of Rood, is now in the beta phase. I'm guessing it should be posting the weekend of June 11th. Link to comment
Eli Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Great! Really looking forward to the new chapter. Link to comment
ricky Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 THE END IS NEAR. Or the Begining!" Link to comment
Lugnutz Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 SPOILER ALERT!!!! DON'T READ IF YOU DIDN'T READ THE LATEST!!!! Read it and things add up except for one thing, Castor. I thought by book one and early book 2 that he perished in Jamie's presence. In the last chapter, Castor drops Jamie off and leaves to his fate. Maybe I missed something. Link to comment
TalonRider Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Let's not forget that Jamie and Nic did not receive any of the Darroot Tea so they don't remember everything and what they do remember, may be a bit faulty. Link to comment
TalonRider Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Before Book 2, Part 2, Prince of Mondele Royale, Castor is mentioned twice in the story. The first time is in Book 1, Part 4, Chapter 48. The next time is in Book 2, Part 1, Chapter 6. The passages contained within those chapters may be what is confusing you. I did some searching to find those. Link to comment
Lugnutz Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 There is a problem with chapter one of book four (Chapter forty three). There are places where the text is hidden. I highlight it to read it. Link to comment
