Ah, you did it again--left me hanging in mid-pissed-reading--no, another fine chapter, Rhonda, and looking forward to the exciting climax!

Unfortunately, the climax. per se, is a long way away...
Thank you for your honest review!

Comment from MelB
This is a suspenseful and exciting chapter, ending with an ambush. The one line that stuck with me is this one - The best way to defeat an enemy is to know his heart and intentions. The book was all full of both." It made me think of Hitler and his book. His intentions were clear in the book, but very few read it and if they did, they didn't take it seriously. How things could have been different if people had.

I think people believe what they want to believe, and try to ignore all the signs leading up to it. Then they're like, "Oh, I never knew that was going to happen..."
Thank you for pointing the line out, and for the wonderful review,
Rhonda

Hi Rhonda,
I think you might have missed a trick with jumping a bit far ahead here. the revelation of the Koko & Ayala being sisters feels almost an aside here, whereas this could have been quite a dramatic event in the story.
After all three fugitives crawled out of the cave - surely all four of them are fugitives?
their mother to life giving water - perhaps life-giving here.
Very good tension punctuated with a smattering of action in this well-written chapter.
All the best

It's funny, but I actually had the whole sister reveal sequence written and took it out because it was so long and I was afraid people would think I overdid it. I may go back and put it back in.
You're so right on the number of people. haha.
Thank you so much,
Rhonda

A wonderful chapter, with great action and tentsion, gripping the reader through to the end.
On both sides, Cougar guards poured out from behind bushes and boulders. It was an ambush. Archie and the girls ran. ----------
a good hook, leaving us wanting more.

Comment from Douglas Paul
I liked the action in this chapter. The tension level is running high with their discovery by the Cougars. You ended it well leaving us with anticipation for how they get out of the ambush. The story is flowing smoothly and is a joy to read. I saw no errors

An excellent chapter filled with action and suspense.
The cougar kin have caught up with Archie, Sani, and the girls.
Now they have been ambushed and you left us with a great hook.
Wonderful writing from start to finish.

Comment from robyn corum
Rhonda,
Great chapter. The writing was tight and well-executed, showing a firm hand and grasp of the craft. The scene were both tense and believable. I enjoyed!
One note:
1.) The book was all full of both."
--> 'all' is not needed, imho
Thanks!
