In love with this stroy
"This is fantastic. Romance and stories within stories. It's nice to see something unique here. I'm a sucker for love stories, and this one just borders on that but it's so much more. It's a coming of age in ways, and a kind of ending too. Without giving too much away, because you'll want the unexpected, I will say that there's a fine line written here in regards to love and the lengths one goes to achieve it."
Another brilliant work
"It has to be said that among many of the top stories in this contest, White is able to produce a work of brilliance both in scope an execution. This is a clean product that's been hammered and polished with care and consideration. The story itself is the thing fantasy is meant to be. Magical and epic with a couple of characters that puts you firmly in a world of whimsy and beauty. If one thing can be said about this author it's that he manages to weave in a wonderful sense of the tragic along with the romantic. That's no small feat. Overall this is an engaging story that is hard to put aside once started. Do yourself a favor and don't miss it."
Beautiful
"It's hard to really label this story properly. It's a fun little adventure mixed with romantic undertones and topped off with a curious little ending that will leave you stunned at its implications. There's nothing to compare this story to. If you like witty, tragic characters, then Andore is yours. If you're interested in subtle mythology, light world-building, and wonderfully designed characters, you'll find your feast. It's a beautifully poetic tale of a mortal man's love for a goddess. Highly recommended."
Modern-Day Homer
"This story reads for the life of me like a prose translation of a lost Homeric epic. The prose is powerful, poetic (at times lavishly so), yet never stiff. It reads like a "good' translation, that is, one that captures the spirit of some ancient original but never reminds you, "this is old." Of course, it also has something of Tolkein's mythos in it, as much in its theme as in its characters. It's a difficult concept to bring off, since writing about gods usually means reverting to some quasi-Shakespearean gravitas; not so here, where the gods seem imposing but, as with Homer, all-too-mortal. In short, I think he can bring this off, and after one titanic chapter we have a promising prelude to what could be an epic voyage."
