Room specific comments:
Start of Journey:
The Entrance: Nice and fun trick.
1E: I liked it, it required some thought.
1S1E: Once you've

it was just hack 'n slash. The arrow-maze was well done.
1S2E: Nice puzzle. The way in which you kill the inner serpent wasn't obvious.

Middle of Journey:
The Entrance: Very well thought out puzzle, although there could be a checkpoint somewhere. Very specific (and somewhat surprising) solution.
1E: Suffers from the scroll size bug (I think, I haven't tried it in Windows), but that's not very serious.

End of Journey:
The Entrance: Not extremely difficult, but a nice ending. And it fits the story perfectly.

I'm finding End of Journey to be very hard. But then again, I'm not very good with roach hordes. Is there a certain order I have to hit the queens in?

Wow, that was a very fun hold!!! :) :) :)

My comments this time are the same as Stefan's, so I'm not going to repeat it.

And YbJ, if you still need hints for the last room:

PS. There were still some speeling mistakes though. I can't remember all of them, but the most notorious one was "beech".

Oh, and :hi to the forums.

A hearty welcome to the forums. I picked up and tried your hold and it taught me never to underestimate the small ones >.<

Anyway, I think I found a trivial solution to 1s2e...
