I really loved this story! At times, I found myself wishing there was more of it, more detail, more depth to the events, but then I think that's just greed on my part. The story is definitely speeding forward, but I think it works. I also like how Cal is this promiscuous bastard, but one still cheers for him, you know? He could easily have been nothing but a shallow creep, but you manage to keep him the hero. And Sidereus is a brilliant side-kick to all this. I think the transition from Cal the emotionally retarded ** to the love-sick careful boyfriend to the prince works.

I've tried hard to think of something constructive to say. I guess I never really got that Cal had been around for centuries until he told Cerasus, but whether that's something you left out or something that I just missed when I read it, I don't know. And at any rate, I don't really feel that it necessarily affects one's enjoying the story.

Over all, this was one of the most enjoyable reads for a long time, so thanks for posting. :)

Bravo on completing a wonderful story! Your story was professionally executed, had tons of humor and interesting characters and a core relationship to root for. Of course, I can't help but feel that Cal made out like a bandit in this, not suffering at all for the many immoral things that he's done (including leaving three sisters unwed and pregnant in a re-enactment of the same wrong that has colored his whole life). There's something...unjust about Cal never getting his comeuppance, even though I do appreciate a happy ending. But! I did want the prince to be happy in the end, and if that means that Cal never has to pay the piper - well, a little bit of unreality does make for a great story with a feel-good ending. :))

Thank you so much for writing and sharing.

I love all your characters! Especially Cal! I'm waiting for the show to drop on him, though. LOL

Yeesh, Cal is in a delicate situation. It's not that easy to change your wicked ways... LOL

Bravo! Great continuation!

This story is marvelous! I wasn't exactly sure where you were going with Cal's man -** behavior but if he falls in love with the prince I think I will dance a jig. LOL Serves him right to be the one on the receiving end for a change. :)) Plus I can't help thinking that the Queen has some sort of plan in all of this. LOL

I love this story. Thank you so much for writing and sharing!

Beautifully Written, very, very original story in my opinion. Hard to come by these days. Hope you don't mind me adding it to my new C2? If so, drop me a line and I'll removes it.
Again... Very well done.

Oh my goodness! that was like the best story ever. No really. I'd be creativly constructive, but I really don't think it could ever be improved upon, you are just that amazing.

I loved it (as though you couldn't tell).

Lovely. Absolutely lovely. It is now past 11, and I'm about to fall asleep on the keyboard, but I made myself stay awake to finish this. This is a wonderful story, and you are a wonderful author.

I love all the characters, especially Sidereus. I would like to rip out the Queen's hair, though..

The ending was definitly my favorite part. I can't tell you how tired I am of the sad endings that I read all the time, and a happy ending is certainly refreshing.

Once again, I love this. Nothing whatsoever but praise! [I apologize for the long review.]

That was an enjoyable story, and I like how you ended it, not with something that tied up all loose ends, but something that let people continue to wonder while fulfilling most of their curiosity. Good job.
