I know you asked us to review, but I really am awful at this sort of thing...

Anyways, just wanted to let you know that I'm loving your story so far and can't wait for the next chapter

I really appreciate the character development in this story. The personalities are very distinct and they make it very easy to get to know each of the different players. I liked Milina a lot, even if she was minor. Another good thing about your character development: their back stories were expertly worked in, another plus, because it is typical of pasts either be completely mysterious or thrown at the reader all at once. Nice change.

The description of the worlds is nice as well, although it was a bit confusing sometimes, keeping track of all the different locations (my fault though, I believe). The backdrop added interest to the story.

The only constructive criticism to come to mind was that there was a lack of conflict (irony indeed, considering the story takes place during times of war) between characters. Beyond basic bickering, I didn't think there was a lot of emotional clashing.

No matter. You did a wonderful job, and if you post your works elsewhere on the internet, I would be interested in finding them one day.

Amazing. I really enjoy the story so far, the cultural details are as interesting as the characters themselves, and the grammar wasn't too bad though I did catch a few mistakes here and there. I was simple amazed at how easily it was for me to enjoy their interaction, although the idea the Taverus is married really kinda made twitch. I'm still very interested in seeing how their relationship grows, try not to rush into though please.

I also really want to know more about their respective backgrounds, especially Knox. The introduction of the sisters at first irritated me simple because I had liked the image of them alone, but I have to say that I do enjoy them now, Tahelia most of all. Oh and am I the only one who feels that their names are all too similar and has trouble keeping them strait. Cause I really do, but then I'm bad with names in real life as well.

Yes, an amazingly well written Romance. Enjoyed it so far and is simple drooling for the next.

Well, I must say it's not fair to leave me on a cliffhanger like that- I need more, dammit!
I have a few teensy gripes: not passed, past, and not lowly, quietly... but apart from that I have nothing else to moan about. I love how you've built a relationship and not plunged straight in with Knox and Taverus (imaginitive names, by the way), and I loved the description of the land you set this in. I also love the shift between the formal and the colloquial aspects of their relationship: the way one minute they're joking like old friends and the next they are so incredibly awkward... really lovely, talented writing. (oh, and it's rapt attention, not wrapt... no presents involved!! ;D )

Keep it up (impressed!)

This has been quite interesting so far. I just stumbled on it today when I was looking for some new, good stories to read and it was so nice to find one. So many I just can't tolerate. I like this so far though, the personalities of the characters are different, especially Knox. He's a rather strange character I guess would be the best way to describe him. As the story progresses though, more is being revealed about him.

I can't think of much to say honestly that would be very interesting, so I'll just stick to commenting on this chapter. Seeing Knox's family come in has added something new to the story and is revealing more about him. It's adding a contrast to his relations with Taverus. And in this chapter especially, the predictions were quite interesting. I have to admit if it had gone on much longer you would have lost me, but it was just enough. I'll have to read over it again later for it all to make sense, but that part between Taverus and Knox was like, come on boys! wake up and see the similarities here! It was quite amusing to me. I'll stop my rambling though and put this on my alerts so I'll know when the next chapter comes out and I look forward to reading it!

This is a very interesting and original story. I can't wait to find out why they had to take the uterus.

aw. I loved the use of symbolism. It would have been even better though if you had used rune stones instead, but those are crap to try and write out.
ValkyreFF 2007-08-27 . chapter 7
O_O reefer or opium? I'm not sure which...:X
ValkyreFF 2007-08-27 . chapter 6
=/...I can't think of anything to say for this one! Even though it was as wonderful as all the other chapters. Maybe I shouldn't review every single chapter...of course, I know how excited you will be when you look to check your reviews and see that you have five new ones!
ValkyreFF 2007-08-27 . chapter 5
O_O What an interesting take on a siren...I've never thought to write about them in that light. GOOD JOB!
ValkyreFF 2007-08-27 . chapter 4
aw. That one was cute. And I must say, it was just a moment ago that I made the connection between the chapter titles and the luring music...I feel really dumb now, lol
ValkyreFF 2007-08-27 . chapter 3
O_O. I hate it when stories leave off like that. Gr
ValkyreFF 2007-08-27 . chapter 2
OMG! I can't believe this story only has 18 reviews! That is such crap. I love this story, and I will now make it my personal mission to review every chapter :D. The plot is good,the writing is good, the characters are good. Three for three!

Hullo. Me again. Wonderful work, as usual, just a couple or errors.

"You just seemed so wrapt about the books." Did you mean rapt, or wrapped?

And after the first -::-::- The first few paragraphs are bunched together, but since Taverus is writing, I don't know if that was intentional or not.

"merely apart of an insignificant chapter in my life" A part?

Who, symbolism! XD I suck at that. *thumbs up*
World of Embers 2007-08-23 . chapter 7
*squirms with glee* Ooh, god story. I bow to your superior talent! *worships* I feel so sorry for the poor mer-person... but I have a soft spot for people with fish tails...*shuffles feet ackwardly*

Gwah, Tahelia's adorable. I love how much detail you put into your characters. Taverus is a dork, and I love him. *Nods firmly*

That is very true to life sibling bickering. They are much more gentle about it then my siblings. Lucky you, Knox, MY sister would put me in a headlock.

*goes on to the next chapter*
