I am enjoying your story so much. It is refreshing to read fantasy fiction. I have been so drowned in my own life issues sometimes I forget imagination can be a coping mechanism and just plain fun to indulge in. Esther

    Ester, thank you so much for the six stars review. I've written three responses now, but it keeps popping up, so I will thank you again, and maybe you will get it this time. If you've already gotten a few, disregard this one, lol.
    Hugs,

    An extra thanks or two never hurts. I have a funky internet connection. Things go out randomly and texts arrive late...probably my side. Esther

Hi, Rhonda, another forceful chapter, but Hades must not win, under no circumstances. I do hope that Echo yet again will come to her senses. I love this tug of war. Now what? Hugs, Ulla xcx

I love the Greek myths so I will definitely be reading on to find out what happened next. You captured the intensity of the battle well in your writing and I could hear the clang of the armour in my mind as I was reading. I thought you portrayed Hades really well in this piece. I really enjoyed reading it, I'm looking forward to reading the next post.

    Hi Jacob,
    Thank you so much for reading. This book is about at its conclusion, but I will start a prequel soon. I hope you can stay with it. I appreciate your input.

    Take care,

Whoooo...what a chapter! I cannot imagine anything more you could have added to make an improvement. Loved every line. Including all the gorgeous pictures adds another level of excellence.

Terrific cliff hanger, too! Smiles, Lily

A lot of talking at the end, but who knows what's going on, has Theo really caved in? And is Echo doomed to be Hades' wife, perhaps Theo knows that Echo has more resistance in her than even Echo knows, but we know that good will always win over evil, you're just giving us a thrill, Rhonda, well dine, blessings Roy

    Hi Roy,
    You've pretty much nailed it. Theo didn't cave, he's trying to get Hades off-guard. He's also going to give Echo a choice. Remember, he has friends in high places. Yes, good triumphs over evil, but everyone has their own choice to make.

Another fine chapter, Rhonda----is it curtains for our frustrated lovers? It sure seems that way. Tune in next week for another chapter of Return to Concord Valley--well, maybe not next week, but it sounded good!

    Oh, Mike, you know I'm too much of a romantic for that, lol, but I'm not afraid to play about with emotions, either.

    Thanks for the review, my friend,

Oh no! I was sure that Echo would be able to resist. Why did Theo turn away? I wasn't sure why he even said that he's "not as easily frightened as a young woman from outside our world and a couple of children."
My favorite part was Sunny coming to awaken her. Maybe Sunny can break Hades' hypnotic pull.

    Hi Helen,
    Thank you so much for the review. Theo isn't finished yet, remember he told Hermes he knew what he was doing. I'll put another chapter out soon and it will all make sense.

    Hugs,

Hello Rhonda,
A marvelous chapter filled with action and suspense. The confrontation between Hades and the three younger gods is well done. Theo is quite confident, perhaps with good reason, as we have not heard from Thanatos yet. I doubt all the trouble Theo went to (and gift he gave) will have all been for naught. I suspect Hades will be mighty surprised.
The last line was very telling as to Hades true nature.
The next chapter should be very interesting. Great idea to hold Thanatos back. (if, of course, that is indeed what you are doing)
Well done, my friend.
Best wishes.
Robert

    Hi Robert,
    Thank you for the six stars, my friend!!
    You are quite right, Thanatos will make an opportune appearance soon, and Theo has his reasons for letting the drama unfold. He isn't finished!!

    Take care,
    Rhonda

Oh wow... A very splendid Fantasy story that I love! Your superbly writing style with your artwork's choices are excellent. Great job, and congrats to overall exceptional rating if only I have 6 stars option. I like your background introduction, plus, your main character name "Echo" is very smart choice because the name is surely fit with her personality and unique. Wish you all the best!

ECHO!!!! NO!!!! FIGHT!!!! Echo has to fight against Hades. She has to win and end up with Theo. That is who she is meant to be with. I can't wait to read more. I really like this story.
