Really enjoying this story so far! Really enjoy Dirk's personality, there's something about him maintaining his dignity even when humiliated that makes him really likable. I'm assuming Cassidy was probably just banging Tom when the raid happened but I still don't trust her as of right now. Also has Australia been confirmed canon to this universe? Just asking since Tom was singing Botany bay lol.
Author's Response:
Yeah you can determine exactly what Cassidy was doing and why she felt so guilty about the murder, although realistically there wasn't much she could've done if she was there. You might assume there's another Botany Bay in this world, and if Tom had gotten further in the song we'd hear references to wherever it might be rather than Australia lol.

When you mentioned in a response to an earlier review that greater size differences might be possible with the help of magic, I had a feeling something like that would happen in this chapter… Guess I’ll have to see if it comes up later.
Otherwise, this was excellent as always. Can’t wait to see where things go next as the plot continues to thicken!
Author's Response:
Thanks, Cynthia's magic opens a lot of possibilities even if this is primarily an amazon/minigiantess story. Glad you're enjoying the murder mystery!

I would like to sign up for temple duty... for as long as Diana requires... and then some...
Author's Response:
Truly your faith is an inspiration, I'm sure Diana's priestesses would appreciate it.

the plot thickens. keep it up
Author's Response:
Thanks, this one's got a fair bit of intrigue compared to my other stories.

Hmm, the mystery deepens. Interesting that Cora mentions an eleven foot tall Amazon. We’ve only seen one of those so far. I’m excited to learn more about Cynthia! I do have one question: Cora says that eleven feet is big for an Amazon, so what is like the maximum height they can get to you think?
Author's Response: So a word on Amazon heights, most of them are between 8-10 feet tall, with 11 feet being a notably tall Amazon, their maximum height is probably 12-13 feet naturally and there may be some even a little taller than that but it would be freakishly rare and most of their furniture and dwellings wouldn't be made for such a person. Cynthia is on the other end of that, an uncommonly short amazon at "only" 7' 6" although luckily she's got that magic power right? We will see more of her and what she's been up to next chapter.

I'm liking it so far. I hope he does find happiness. in this new world they can find compromise. keep it up I'm enjoying it
Author's Response:
Obviously there will need to be some compromise if Dirk's really going to live in the Queendom, both on his end and from the people who are coming to care about him. Glad you're liking it so far!

Can't wait to meet the priestess and put a name to the goddess.
Also g'damn! Dirk pulled a double-Luke!
I have predictions, guesses, and theories, but in the interest of other readers who haven't gotten there, I'll hold them.
Keep up the great work! And more snu snu! It time snu snu!
Author's Response:
I think you'll enjoy the temple scenes. As for guesses and theories I'm trying some more intrigue and a bit of mystery in this one, there is a lot to be suspicious about obviously. Also yes there will be more snu snu!

More excellent world building in this chapter!
As I touched on in my previous review, the Amazon/female-male role reversal trope doesn’t do it for me. I’m not into tomboys/masculine women IRL, and I typically prefer my giantesses far bigger. On top of that, I’m not usually into fantasy/sci-fi settings for size stuff. TLDR: this story is the polar opposite of what I’m normally into.
However, the way you’ve set things up here has me hooked; can’t explain why, but whatever you’re doing, keep it up!
Interested to see more of how men born/raised in the queendom live, as we’ve only gotten a close look at outsiders so far.
Author's Response:
I'm glad you like it even if it's not your usual thing, there's a lot going on in this particular tale, the cowboy angle, the role reversal, the dinosaurs, maybe it just all clicks for you in a way the stuff usually doesn't on its own? Anyways thanks for reading, we will see lots more of how life in the Queendom is for various groups.

The ribbon gimmick is touch of genius. Something tells me the auroch’s won't be the only naked beast sweating sweating under the sun later.
Tom is awesome too. He's like Jaskier from the Witcher show on Netflix, only somehow even greater.
Great work, green. Loved this chapter
Author's Response:
Yes the compliance ribbon is a fun punishment isn't it? Tom has been playing the game and really leaning into the amazon culture you might say, so he makes a good rival for Dirk.
Date: January 09 2023 12:57 AM Title: Trouble Wears Black
And here I was hoping he'd choose Lady Griselda...
Still, phenomenal entries, can't wait for more snu snu and intrigue.
Author's Response:
Yeah I can't say I wouldn't be tempted myself lol, but Dirk went with the person he knew best in the room.

Ha! Loved these first two chapters, quite a fun read. Love the character dynamics. Cassidy and Dirk reminded me of Ashe and McCree when I was reading their first interaction, I got a good laugh out of it even if they weren’t the inspiration for the characters. Might have been sparked by the name.
Love your stories. First I’ve visited in a while, but I know you’ve written more. I’ll try to check those out too :)
Author's Response:
While it's a sword and sorcery type setting there are a lot of western tropes going on with this particular story, so picturing them as Ashe and McCree probably isn't too far off. Glad you're enjoying it!
Date: January 08 2023 8:49 AM Title: A Day in Town
I like seeing things out of Cora’s eyes. The blurred line of relatabilty between the characters and the reader is pretty endearing too. Done with a delicate hand.
Nice work, green
Author's Response:
Thanks, I like to highlight just how strange Dirk is to the average Amazon, particularly one like Cora who wasn't good with men to begin with.
Date: January 08 2023 6:15 AM Title: A Day in Town
Another awesome chapter. Damn what a follow up! I’m loving this world you are building.
A few questions: I like the whole muscle amazon aspect so I’m curious how brolic are they appearance wise? Another question, so you say amazons can only give birth to girls? Does that mean every girl born is an amazon? Or is it 50-50 between an amazon and a human sized girl? If it’s the latter that would be interesting to see how the dynamics play in this world with a mixed sized family.
Looking forward to chapter 3!
Author's Response:
I like to think that they just put on and keep muscle easier and how bulky they are depends on the amazon. Cora I imagine as fairly muscular, but still very visibly feminine, like a professional women's athlete in a strength sport rather than for example a female bodybuilder. Cassidy would be leaner, but with good muscle definition from working on the ranch all day, obviously even the out of shape ones can easily manhandle Dirk lol.
Amazons only have amazon daughters, which is why it's critical to have a population of normal sized humans around if they aren't out just raiding for men. Obviously this situation, with men at about 25% of the population, leads to some headaches which will be explored in later chapters.

I really like Cora, and I’m glad Dirk got a chance to shoot something. Still…I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little hopeful the innkeeper or someone got a piece of him!
Author's Response:
He's got to be more careful huh? Don't worry Cora will have plenty of fun with him.
Date: January 07 2023 11:06 PM Title: A Day in Town
Ok I'm very intrigued with the story. so far you have an independent man in a new land that's controlled by apparently very lusty horny Amazon women. my hopes are they don't destroy the man. and he finds a true love maybe with the current girl and have a good understanding how life is and both are happy we'll see.
Author's Response:
I'm not sure if you've read any of my stories before, but don't worry this doesn't end with Dirk as a mindbroken slave. Most of my male protagonists are independent man of action types, Dirk isn't in for a great time, but I think you'll be happy with where this tale goes.
Date: January 07 2023 10:36 PM Title: A Day in Town
Whoa, wasn’t expecting either of them to make a move so soon with how they were acting. My man Dirk just went for it! Love how Cora is just totally unable to control herself around him. Seems like Dirk’s gonna have to be careful about the other Amazons.
Author's Response: Dirk is basically heaven sent for Cora, he's the manic pixy dreamgirl... boy, and the tomboy (tomgirl?) of her dreams, his foreign looks and attitude are just icing on the cake, if anything she's lucky to have run into him because most other men make her a stuttering mess. Dirk is, like most of my fantasy protagonists, a man of action type, and while he's understanding some of the Amazon dynamic he's also stepping in deeper than he realizes. Yeah other Amazons aren't quite as nice as Cassidy and Cora are, while men are protected in the Queendom they're also pursued aggressively and occasionally preyed upon. Dirk's a tough guy, but he's also somewhat out of his depth.

Normally not into Amazon/mini-giantess stuff, but the role reversal is just done so well here.
Keep it up!
Author's Response:
Thanks, if the role reversal is your thing this should be a good one even if you'd prefer your girls a bit bigger lol.
Date: January 07 2023 12:28 PM Title: Stranger in a Strange Land
Ok, now I’m hooked
Author's Response:
Thanks! Hope it lives up to your expectations
Date: January 07 2023 10:02 AM Title: Stranger in a Strange Land
Not a shrink story? That's rare here.
Author's Response:
Hey now not all of my stories are shrink stories! I do occasionally branch out lol.
Date: January 07 2023 8:15 AM Title: Stranger in a Strange Land
I have not read any of your stories before, but I really enjoyed this first chapter. The characters are believable and the world-building feels fairly immersive.
Author's Response:
Thanks! It takes place in the same universe as most of my other fantasy stories, but you don't need to read any of those to get what's going on here. Hope you like where the story ends up going!
