Underestimate Me - Comments

hi! okay, so first of all, i love the layout so much; i do think, however, that the transparent header is my favorite. it's so nicely made. (: i also really like the summary. very fascinating and def. leaves me wanting more. c:

chapter 1: i really like this chapter. it's very detailed and nicely written. i liked the descriptions of the forest in the beginning i wonder who this mysterious archer is and what she's seeing on the road? again, you did a great job at describing everything -- even the tiny little details that others would overlook -- and i really enjoyed it. the ending left me breathless. O:

chapter 2: this story sort of gives me lord of the rings vibes -- maybe it's the names of the characters, but yeah, that's what i'm getting right now, haha. anyways, i really like rowen. i mean, we did just meet him, but i like him already. he seems focused and sure of himself and i like that he (obviously) wants to put an end to these mysterious slaughterings. i can't wait to see more of him!! oh, and of course, the way you describe everything is absolutely to dieeeee for. :D

chapter 3: ah, the mysterious archer is back! i like her name and the spelling of it, very original!! i really like how she's so feisty and can hold her own; i also really like the gang of "sisters" that she's in. they're so united and together, i love it!!

“Remember who you are Josselyn, nothing more than a woman. Perverted by nature.” The words whispered in her ear, his foul breath upon her. duuude, this sentence is a little disturbing; wow, women don't mean a whole lot in this world, huh? it's not very different from the world that we know, but i really hope joss proves this voice false. i mean, she probably will, considering how awesome she is!

i'll def. come back and read more of this story when i can -- i'm pretty sure you got me hooked with your amazing writing and characters. (: fantastic job!!

@ The Alpha's Angel
We will update next weekend or so! We'll try to keep it regular ^^

@ romancingstories
I'm always curious, are you team Joss or team Rowen? (A)

@ romancingstories
Don't forget to tell us your favorite parts! :)

Awesome story! I'm looking forward to more chapters from you and Nikki! :-)

@ Alex Moore.
I can't wait to see what you have in store for us!

@ The Alpha's Angel
You have me baffled. Stunned. Speechless. I will be completely honest with you when I say you made me get a lump in my throat and watery eyes when I read that comment.

You have no idea how much this means to me and I am sure it means to Nikki too. I promise you there is so much more to come and comments like yours make us want to try even harder to do our characters and our world justice.

i'm gonna be completely honest here... I've been on Mibba for a while now and I've come across quite a few stories with large amounts of chapters, but none have ever held my attention.

Until I started reading this and it held me captive... You held me captive. The way this is written and the description you use is just great... It flows nicely from one author to the next and is just an amazing story to get lost in.

You've done an awesome job with this and it's one of the gems on this site... If mibba was an oyster your story would be the pearl inside or at least one of them.

@ caligulasAquarium
Thank you! I'm so glad you liked the story. Rowen is...definitely bull headed. And...I'm not saying you're right or wrong about him getting knocked around a time or two. You'll have to keep reading to see. :) As for the comment you made about chapter one; could you give me an example as to what you mean by "some of the paragraphing was a little weird."? I'm curious to know if it's something Leanne and I did stylistically or if it's something we should have fixed during editing.

@ caligulasAquarium
Best Easter present ever! Thank you for your kind words! I love it when people comment with their favorite line of the chapter. My dear friend Chelsey Cate does this all the time and I love her for it. Please do keep reading because there is so much yet to come. You don't know half what is between Rowen and Joss, they are complicated... but you will find that out soon enough

Please do keep commenting if you like what you read (and more so if you don't, that way we can edit grammar or plotholes)

Thanks again

Happy (belated) Easter!

Summary:
I'm loving the summary, honestly. It already creates such beautiful imagery and I'm hoping I'll be seeing a lot of this in the story itself. Plus, the little bit of dialogue is so informative and powerful.

Chapter One:
I'm definitely pleased with the beginning of the first chapter. Honestly, I'm obsessed with the imagery you create. This is already so beautiful.

The forest was silent although she knew it was already awake. I loved this line!

I'm wondering why the woman was banished. I'm also curious to know if her sisters were banished as well, or if they already resided in the forest.
I love the fact that they wear fabric around their faces when they attack. It's a nice twist.
I loved the bit with Falcon. It seems like a really good guard, honestly.
The end of the chapter was a hanger and I really liked how you did it! Those three little words hold so much meaning and fear. I'm definitely excited to see what else is in store!

I didn't notice any spelling/grammar mistakes, but some of the paragraphing was a little weird.

Chapter Two:
I really like the way you portrayed Rowen. He seems really big-headed, but I'm sure he's going to be knocked down fast enough by the women. I can't wait to see where his character goes in this.
I'm wondering what incident is being referred to.

I didn't see any mistakes in this chapter. Great job!



I'm really enjoying this so far! I'll be subscribing and reading more because I definitely want to know everything that's going to unfold. Both of you are doing a great job. Keep up the good work!

I love the chapter with Falcon in them. I think you already know this, but he's one of my favorite "characters" haha. His loyalty to Joss and his hatred of Rowen is great. I'm curious about Meredith and what injustices or mistreatments have caused her to hate men. We're finally seeing that there's probably good reason for her demeanor and ways. It truly is a society that pushed women down. That was shown in the description of the girl getting whipped and with the flashback of the cruelty Joss experienced.

I liked her resilience at the end of the chapter when she's looking at Rowen and speaks to him. She's strong and weak all at the same time. Great chapter, can't wait to read more!

Favorite line is, "It was a weapon that did not grant fair play."

@ native language
Wow. This is such a compliment. I'm an honoured and flattered! And as nikki I am so curious what you will think of the next chapters. How far did you get?

@ native language
You made my day! Rowen has been like a second personality for me since I started writing this story with Alex Moore, and I adore it when anyone routes for or is annoyed by him. I think I can safely speak for my co-writer when I say that you have flattered us with your compliment, and we appreciate the kind words. I hope you enjoy the rest of the story, and be sure to stop by and leave more comments on what you like and even what you don't like. The feedback is always the best part.

So I haven't finished reading this yet but I just thought I'd let you know what I'm really enjoying this so far! I think you have a wonderful imagination and the plot isn't like anything I've read before. The description is vivid, and I love it when the imagery of nature and animals are used. The characters are so real and three-dimensional with all their imperfections and stubbornness and pasts that it is hard not root for or be annoyed by them at times (I'm looking at you, Rowen.) I actually think Rowen is my favourite character. Well, between him and Meredith. I think they biggest compliment I can pay you is that you really know how to tell a story, with so many different layers, and make it interesting and intriguing for me as a reader.

@ chelseycate
Dear dear Chelsey, you know you are an angel right! Haha. You always make me so happy when you comment. And I even feel a bit guilty taking your free time! It helps that you do really enjoy the story and we love you for that. You have no idea what is coming and it makes me excited that we have so much yet to tell or show!

For chapter 48, I also loved it! Rowen's sass is just awesome. You can tell as the chapters progress how much weaker he is getting. In more ways than one, really. I love the jealousy he has for Meredith; it can't be easy seeing her with another. The flashback scenes in this chapter in the last really gives a nice picture of the reasons they're so many demons to deal with. Elrik is just an s.o.b. obviously! Lol. Again, wonderful chapter!

Favorite line, lI told you, Rowen, save your pretty words for those whom they are meant for.”

Okay, going to post two separate comments for the chapters as I get to them! As for 47, goodness me! Such a good chapter. The intimacy between Joss and Meredith is great. It's both sultry and sexy while also being sweet. I think she needs that attention and love to show her that she is still worth. Despite what happened to her, she allows someone to touch her -- both physically and mentally. I worry about Rowen, I hope he pulls through.

Favorite line, "...who drank her in as if this night was all they would ever be granted."

Great chapter overall! Will leave another comment for the next chapter.

@ Midna the Dark
I think you have fallen in love with Rowen just as much as I did when Leanne pitched this story to me. :) He is so hard not to love!

@ Midna the Dark
Only one more chapter when they meet haha. But I love how little you know about them, so many surprises will be ahead. Thanks so much for this lovely comment and we will edit the typos!

Layout & Summary
I love, love, love the layout. It makes me think of a rainforest--which is the perfect place for the setting of this sort of story.

I also like how the quotes reel you in and then a more detailed summary with nice descriptions.

This Was War
Okay, I'm not gonna lie here. I read the chapter title as This War War and if that doesn't say I'm insane, I don't know what will lol

Anywho, onwards we go!

"A sigh of relieve left her body"
^ relief

"His scarp claws"
^sharp

"few roads that let through"
^led

Firstly, let me start by saying that I seriously love how detailed this it. I love how easily I can get into it and see the world around me. I love even more that she has a birdie friend I love when animals are included.

I am anxious to know all about her and what has led her to live within the forest. As well as what war she saw. And I know men are brutes and all, but why are they the enemy? Just what is going on?!

Godforsaken Forest
The freaking title of this chapter is killing me. All I can imagine is a preppy girl wandering around, lost in the forest and just having a tantrum. I don't know, just what I imagine.

"decided to peak"
^peak

UGH! There is nothing I love more than a guy who is strong freaking willed with a stubborn sense of independence. Rowen is perfection.

I love how the story is in third point of view. Too many coauthors ruin it by swapping between characters and it just throws things off for me. You each have a lovely sense of description. It makes me feel like I'm reading a book.

I can't wait till they meet!

---

I'm totally gonna come back and read more in a bit. I'm loving this!
