Reviews for Two Conversations

    It's important to remember that the "spent centuries raising boys" thing is actually a retcon. In the original version of "Pawn of Prophecy", Polgara actually complains that she has no idea how to raise small boys. Anyway, why is this story here? It's not sexy at all!

    *dances for joy* Thank you! I thought that I was the only one who was pissed at Polgara for the way she bungled things with Garion in Queen of Sorcery. The result of her short temper and impatience, was Garion growing a Very short temper and not being able to criticism well due to certain conversations with his Great Aunt & his Grandfather. *sighs* Temper tantrums throughout the whole Malloreon..

    I liked it. The relationship between Garion and Polgara was very sweet.

    But, really, when you scared the life out of your parents, didn't they shout or yell at you before managing to calm down enough to explain? The noise made by translocation told every grolim in the country where Garion was, and Polgara thinks of him as almost her son; her mind probably exploded with horrible what-if's now that they knew about him.
    And you have to remember, Polgara has spent almost two thousand years with the knowledge of what Torak is capable of, and a good portion of that studying the prophesies that say what will happen if he wins. In 'Belgarath the Sorcerer', it is stated that the thought of being the Bride of Torak has given Polgara nightmares for five centuries. From a 'professional' standpoint, she is willing to do just about anything to avoid letting Torak win.

    At her sister Beldaran's wedding to Riva, Polgara pledged herself to protect the Rivan line, a task which would "Consume the rest of your life." (Polgara the Sorceress)
    When the then-current Salmissra sent assassins to end the Rivan line, Polgara saved the youngest prince, and since then has guided, protected and raised the decendends of Riva and Beldaran. They are her family, and she has loved each one as her own.
    Garion's remarks about not being human, using them as puppets, and not caring hurt her deeply. As Polgara herself states, she has a temper, and is quick to anger. She instinctivly reacted by shouting back, telling him only some of what she endured for him. She then disappeared below deck, probably to have a good cry where no one else could see her break down.


    Other than this, like I said: this is beautiful work.

    Interesting.

    Without trying to sound condescending or overly harsh, I wonder if you knew where this story was going when you began it. It reads well, your command of the language, and characters is exceptional, There's part of me that wanders if there's half an idea in your mind that you shied away from writing. Don't, never let a bad review, nor a low score deter you in you in the expression of art. Reviews and scores mean nothing.

    Oz.
