Definitely a fan of Cynthia and while dreaming process. You nailed the accent pretty well too. I know all too well that it can be a nightmare writing them lol. All in all, another interesting chapter.
Good work, green
Author's Response:
Thanks, Cynthia is a fun character to write, she opens up a lot of different options without deviating from the plot too much lol

Potential typo:”Isabelle’s eyes went wide, and she screamed one final time as a boot the size of a house thundered down on her, wiping her from existence in a divine show of wrath.”
“Cynthia just chuckled, then slipped her boot off. She held it up to him, letting him see the sole that had crushed the rival priestess, and he grimaced, nodding slowly as she slowly put her foot back in.”
So did her clothes grow with her or not? Based on the first quote, they did, but the second quote suggests they didn’t.
Excellent climax regardless.
Can’t wait to see how the story wraps up!
Author's Response:
To clarify yes her clothes did grow with her, the implication is that what's left of Isabelle was on the boot meaning that she really did get stomped and it wasn't an illusion. A grisly way to go, but you don't piss off a goddess in her own temple in front of a devout follower like that.

Haha, but you worked in a 'huckleberry'! That's almost as good as a 'snu snu'!
Author's Response: Yeah I watched Tombstone last week so Val Kilmer was sticking with me a bit lol.

Try and tell me that duel wasn't a reference to Big Iron.
Great work as always.
Author's Response: It was absolutely a Big Iron reference, along with Tombstone lol.

"You may now snu snu the groom!"
Phenomenal work, can't wait for the conclusion of the story.
Author's Response:
I've been fighting the temptation to put the term "snu-snu" in this story for 80,000 words lol
"I never thought I'd die this way, but I'd always sort of hoped..."

A great story. I totally love it. I would love it if you would write another like this in the future. I will be looking at some of your other work. And looking forward to any new stuff.
Thanks
Author's Response:
Thanks, glad you liked it! We have just a little more to go to cap everything off. If you're looking for my stories that are similar in overall complexity to this I would recommend Abduction, One Year Lease, and Reunion.

One of the things I love most about your stories is how the drama/plot is so well crafted.
Barely any size content in this chapter, yet I couldn’t put this one down… And there’s still more drama to come!
Excellent!
Author's Response:
Usually the penultimate action chapter is light on smut content, at the same time I hope that by the time the reader's made it that far they're invested enough to read it anyway lol.

"If anyone objects to this marriage..."
Suddenly, an amazonian brawl erupts...
Author's Response:
Hey I've been to worse weddings
Date: January 19 2023 11:28 PM Title: A Sharp Rifle
Love this story so much. I have to agree with another review I saw, you’re fantasy based stories are where your work really shines! Eager to see how Griselda gets put in her place.
Author's Response:
Thanks it really makes me happy that people like them so much. I really should write a fantasy novel at some point that isn't about giant girls, but they're also just so fun to write about...
Date: January 19 2023 10:45 PM Title: A Sharp Rifle
Just thinking would it be great if like Tom and some of the other towns people stood up and tried to stop the wedding?
Author's Response:
I won't spoil it but plenty of people have objections
Date: January 19 2023 10:32 PM Title: A Sharp Rifle
I hope that they can stop the wedding.
Well I really enjoying this story. keep it up.
Author's Response:
Oh a wedding is happening lol

“Hold!” Hardcastle shouted, a pistol in her hand as she scurried up alongside Tom
Wasn't her name "Hardstone"?
Author's Response:
It was and it's fixed lol, not sure if spellcheck got me when I wasn't looking.

@MrD My solution would be to pray for some Devine intervention, and hope that Dirk’s dream from chapter 8 was a premonition of sorts;a 50-100 foot tall giantess on the side of our heroes would certainly turn the tide of the battle in their favor…
Your solution sounds great as well though ;)
Author's Response:
You will see Cynthia big before the end of this one, don't worry.
Date: January 18 2023 9:53 PM Title: Taking the Stage
I'm thinking Hardstone might have been off more than she can chew. I hope Dirk can get away from Hardstone after the battle.
Author's Response:
Unfortunately the plotters must all be dealt with for Dirk to have any peace, stay tuned for the conclusion!
Date: January 18 2023 7:44 PM Title: Difficult Decisions
I have an idea to solve these problems... Has anyone ever determined if the Lizards are repulsed by the sounds of crushed pelvises? Just a thought...
That said, I'm almost more eager to read about Griselda and her sister's schemes prior to the events of the story.
Phenomenal work!
Author's Response:
The amazons need to crush more pelvises, it's the only way to test this hypothesis! Anyways you might say Griselda and Isabelle are much more on the unpleasant end of snu snu from what our protags are.
Date: January 17 2023 11:01 PM Title: Difficult Decisions
@Kessler I had similar thoughts until the dream sequence in this chapter… something tells me Griselda’s keeping a potential ace hidden up her sleeve.
Can’t wait to see what comes next.
Author's Response: Griselda's got a lot of tricks to muddy the waters of what's going on, and she gets stronger for every minute she's got access to the gold. That said there's more pressing matters for her to deal with obviously.
Date: January 17 2023 9:06 PM Title: Difficult Decisions
Maybe I'm missreading this but it seems like there's no possible way for Griselda's plan to go well. She wants to forcibly marry Dirk for the gold but that's a piece of information that has already spread too far to be contained. If this gets to the Queen or worse Dirk's friends in the Imperial army, which it probably would too many people know about this to keep it a secret long term, Griselda is fucked. Maybe she could get control over the gold for a few months or even years but eventually this will bite her in the ass. Of course she's gonna lose long before that, because the protagonists aren't going to lose, but even if she were to win this seems doomed and if she was smart she would've cut her losses the moment information security was broken.
At this point there are several civilians, a priestess, a dwarven engineer, and a smuggler with lines of information that stretch across the boarder all with varying levels of interest in this not working out for Griselda. She needs to silence all of them and do it before the information gets further, without knowing all the people this has been leaked to and without just disappearing lots of people all connected to her business in suspicious circumstances. The fact that she's even needing to try to keep this under wraps means she doesn't have the kind of political capital to endure it and the local climate doesn't seem disposed to tolerating this sort of thing in the slightest.
Fun story but when you think about it the villain's threat seems more how much damage can she do before this collapses on her rather than any real indication that her plans could succeed, then again that's the nature of these kinds of stories anyway so. . .
Author's Response:
Griselda underestimates the men opposing her and is generally used to falling back on wealth and power to get what she wants. In a way this is kind of a genderflip of the fantasy trope of the wicked noble who takes the male lead's love interest, as in those stories the target is often a stronger force than they initially appear to be.
Date: January 17 2023 7:53 PM Title: Difficult Decisions
Damn it!
Well maybe they will escape during the fight?
Author's Response:
You'll have to see, I think you'll be pleased with how it all plays out.
Date: January 16 2023 10:13 PM Title: Run Through the Jungle
I of course love all your stories, but I think you probably have the most fun writing these fantasy ones. There's so much character and it's so easy to picture the scenes. They're also well paced and fun. I'd bet I'd enjoy these stories even if I didn't like big girls.
Author's Response:
I really do love writing fantasy and sci-fi stories, they allow for a lot of wild adventures and great stories imo. I do aspire to have plots good enough that people enjoy them alongside giant lady action.
Date: January 16 2023 7:58 PM Title: Run Through the Jungle
Awesome keep it up. I guess maybe they should have left evidence saying maybe they were going to the empire. that might have give him an extra day
Author's Response:
Griselda would probably send some soldiers in all directions just in case, still not a bad idea.
