That bitch, princess or not... LOL

The Gods were just like humans except more and extravagant. The possessed all the foibles of humanity and were just as foolish.

Wish the chapters were longer; just get into it and then poof. This is an interesting interpretation of the story.

Flowed much better. The writing was clearer as well. Not really following the ancient story, but still interesting.

Hmmm, this felt completely different from the first chapter. Was more disjointed, but still keeps the pacing and interest in what is to come.

A truly interesting start to this story. Can't really tell where it is going yet.

What a delight this was reading. So many little subplots and twist and turns; always a good thing. I do love how evocative your characters can be; and the writing is just truly first rate. I do worry a little about Wagner, have grown fond of him and don't want him hurt; seems to be a lot going on in that situation that is veiled. Cyrus is just too funny. Tierney is a delight, but he needs to be careful as well. Dirk needs to listen to his inner voice, can't wait to see how this develops.

Wonder what has happened to bring Merida and the children back to the hold? Did her husband die? Kadin is going to have a rough go of it. Vikkel has made an ass out of himself again; instead of just welcoming his sister home; he had to put the worst spin possible on it. No wonder there is so little joy in this place.

I am really getting into this story; the writing and plotting is just first rate. Dowsing is not easy; never found many that could really do it successfully. My mother could but only with actual wood and then only when looking for water. She was always very good at it. I can do it but not nearly as well; and like her, only with wood, not metal or an kind. So what he felt to start with was tied to the well? Have to wonder if it was from when the well was uncovered during the refurbishment or from when it was an open well before the theatre was built originally. Could have been before the theatre was built and the work in the 70's disturbed something and got it stirred up. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Finally a look at those that imposed the sentence on Tani; and what a group it is. I will be very interested to find out who or what is passing through the gates and more importantly, why??? Dante sensed that he could help Tani; and wanted to, even if he doesn't realize why. And I know it was hot for them; but damn, I need a shower now. Can't wait to see what you come up with next, truly loving this story...

I am going back and rereading some stories and putting reviews in on those that I have not previously reviewed. I had forgotten part of this story, so glad that I went back to reread it. The story was compelling in the fact that I found the two main characters and several of the auxiliary characters very interesting. Taat said, I do think some additional character development would have helped. I think we needed a little more background information. The story flowed well except for one chapter that I found awkward while reading. The writing was good and got sharper as the story progressed. The plotting was a little simple, but the author indicated that this was either his first story or among the first so that is easily understandable. I did find some of the physical violence in the story unsettling but it was explained and did serve a purpose in the story that I don't think could have been developed without it. I do recommend this story; there are a few issues but my interest in any stories that use the Dragonriders of Pern by Anne Mc Caffrey; allowed me to overcome then.

Going back over this; good overview.

Good to get some overview of what these stories are about and how they came about. Would think this would be a big help for those that are not familiar with the writings of Anne McCaffrey.

So glad to see the start of this story; excellent energy already. Can't wait to see what you have in store for all of us this time.

Oh, really loved the imagery...

Vikkel may not realize it but he just sealed the fact that his son will never take over the Hold. Jevikel has learned a brutal lesson that he did not have to suffer for yet, although Rosh and Col did mightily. Let's hope he remembers to be careful and never caught. He should have taken the chance and warned them; but fear can hold all of us back. Kemi may honestly be making a good escape; as long as her future father in law stays away from her. I would think almost any place else would be better than where she is currently. The writing was great, you could feel the varying emotions all throughout the chapter...

Another visit to the past to those that will come forward; at least those that survive. Well written and plotted as always, flowed wonderfully. First touch of real sorrow for D'gar and S'brin. Life in the weyr is not always for the fainthearted. On top of that a green rose, but the rider that was attached to the green has a dragon not yet ready to chase; how to handle that; and what does one do to protect his true love.

Nice story, only two chapters, but we got to take a look at some of what was going on in the past before the four weyrs moved forward. Well written as always, and interesting characters and pacing. Hope all that are enjoying this new look at the Pern stories by Mawgrim are staying with them all and enjoying them as much as I am.

Really like this chapter in the series; will be glad when some of the longer stories start. The riders and others have learned not only that they jumped in time to allow the dragons to age without fighting thread to soon; but that Lessa has made a huge jump in time and brought the riders from the four abandoned weyrs forward to help as well. A great addition to this budding saga.

This was a little different; mostly because it dealt with the first time a green dragon rose and how it's rider dealt with that occurrence. Once again, writing and pacing was really well done. H'rek is a character that we know and we get to find out what happens with the first mating flight. We experience his reaction to it and the events leading up to it. This just helps build toward the next chapter in this new series.

Going back and adding reviews to this series. This was the first one from Mawgrim. I thought the writing was very good and the pacing and characters were excellent. I have always loved the Dragonriders of Pern by Anne McCafferty and this does justice to that. There are subtle differences but that is okay; Mawgrim needs to find a way they feel comfortable going forward with this. Very well done, and can't wait to share the rest with you all moving forward.

Money changes everything... Sasha changing his mind was about the idea of money. Jake wanting to post the video was about money. Sammy getting the turkey from Leo meant he had extra money for other things and a little something for Jake. Billy joining the team and staying away from his dad is for money, even though he doesn't seem to be into soccer. Billy's dad paying him to stay away is about money... I agree that anyone trying to pull the video off the OnlyFanz and posting elsewhere would be a possibility; but like they said, they look young and it is going to get yanked quickly. My worry would be a site on the dark web that host videos that are for people that don't care about the age. If someone becomes obsessed with them and is able to track them; that could cause a major issue at some point. They are very young and very naïve, especially Sammy. Not sure that Sasha is as naïve as Sammy or Jake either one.

Oh, just so many possibilities with this new information. Let's hope that Maurice was not involved in anything shady; but I really don't think so. Have trouble believing a murder, what our protagonist has felt so far is nothing malicious; and would not the spirit of someone that was murdered be more than benign? Can't wait to see what you come up next on this one; looks like we may be in for a bumpy ride....

So excited for this new chapter; and what a chapter it was. Here is hoping that it doesn't take anywhere near a month this time. I have a feeling that with Nora Arturo it will not. So Dante and Tani have come face to face; so to speak, in this time. What a first meeting, an attack and then a healing; and then a battle against a parasite for another realm. Was it just me; or did Nora not seem to be surprised by either Tani or Cale's appearance and what they truly were? OMG, this is just such a wonderful story; and the writing; well just cannot say enough about it...

dkstories crafted many wonderful gifts to us all. I personally believe this was one of the best. The character development, plotting and flow were simply first rate. One of the best things was you could fully invest yourself in and enjoy this story no matter your connection to the original source material. The level of detail and intensity that can be found in this story really cannot be surpassed. Everyone sit back and prepare to be amazed...
