(reviewing as I go...)

- "Siying-shen shang"?! The crap?!
- ^ oh...okay, then.
- did you make up the song? I like it.
- Am I arguing with the bush/Bush? Eh, makes sense to me. (pun not originally intended)
- I had to look up "ladle"...
- what age is "coming-of-age," anyway? (haha, btw)
- there are a WHOLE BUNCH o' typos, here...
- Sparrathia...haha...who's that supposed to be? if anybody?
- "I’ve known women who can ruin entire banquets with a flick of her finger.”...which finger?
- “No, she’s not really that horrible, despite the stories. Or, she hasn’t tried to kill me, specifically, yet." Hmm, not that horrible? I dunno...I mean, she doesn't even give out cookies!
- Banholf snorted. “You’re wrong about Cook. She has tried to kill you, as the entire household has. But you’re just a resilient little bugger, eh?”
- Mnemosyne Organization...
- Zadok's "Wine" moment was a Kodak moment...get it? Uhh, nevermind.
- Hah! You can HAVE Aelfrinn- what use do I have for a person with that retarded name...
- “I knew there was something about that woman”. Which woman?
- asbestos?
- Wait a minute- why are all MY characters disturbing? Not that there's anything wrong with that, but...
- Okay, tell me again how one has black and gold hair?
- Ah! Banolf's hair description makes me think Dempsey!
- the planets reference again is just so random...keep it up!
- "Happy Birthday, your life still isn't over..."
- Yes, J, sisters that are only 3 days apart...
- "Cook is the older one, but not by much, I don’t think. Anyway, Banholf, who was about a year older than Siying—probably around half a year older, probably older than Cook as well". Thoroughly confused. But whatever, that's the point, right?
- I hate her laugh and I've never even heard it. I never want to hear it being described again.
- “After I walk out that door, you can flirt all you like.” I totally don't make fun of people like that! Yeah, totally...
- I SAID I didn't want to hear it again!!
- Tobias is delusional.
- (I'm currently listening to a song with the lyrics "I don't want to lose my head today...")
- FRAKEN-ROSE!!
- “If only the child hadn’t been birthed in the first place—” If ONLY...
- “Go change. Imbecile.”
- 'Great Queen [of] Fortune, Raven [the] Little Winged One [of] White Mountain [and] Intelligence, [the] Beautiful Rose of Matthinghouste and Tryssen'. Do you know how drunk her parents were when they named her?!
- "Siying’s mind went blank for a long moment, in which the Frankenrose was chopped to bits by her spazzing hand." See?! that's what happens when that romance comes in!
- “Hello, man I do not really wish to be affiliated with,” Banholf replied, as if he were making a point. Oh wait.
“You’re so cold to me,” Ranolf complained.
- “Old! I’m not that old.”
“Keep wishing, old man.”
- HAHAHAHAHAHA! whe...
- JESSE IN THE FETAL POSITION!
- His grandmother IS ashamed, I'll bet.

In Happiness, Your Sister in Mary-Sue-bashing,
~Siying (and Fraken-rose!)

For some reason, this didn't show up in my inbox for Author Alert...
Anywho, I'mma reviewing as I read.

- Now that I've read that name, I'm gonna name my kid Princess Rianna Othella Ravynna Aleda Yamashiro Akira Min’tharon de Matthinghouste-Tryssen - just to torture her/him (especially if it's a boy).
- I love the straightforward tone- it's so funny!
- The long, descriptive (run-on) sentences are PERFECTO.
- The Japanese names are a bit too random.
- "There was no hay in sight, which truly sucked for him."
- "Marde"...? Poor boy...
- " “His Majesty went back into the castle moments after you arrived, Princess.” [...] "The Prince of Fallowshaith sat cross-legged in front of a window, engrossed in a book, and did not register their entrance." But he just got there...?
- I'm still waiting for Banholf's full name...
- Tobias - pbftmrhahahahahahahaha!
- “Hoy, Your Majesty, are you going to let me in anytime soon? I thought you’d let me in shortly.” I love that change in tone! And anyways, Banny is right! :D
- “Quiet, De Hayes, we were about to finish anyway” - WHOOT! Go DE HAYES!
- Tobias' parents were high when they named him, and in good humor, weren't they?
- "green dress, white apron, wide-brimmed straw hat and heavy boots". Thank you. Just - thank you. (btw, the name is so out of place- not even Japanese!)
- Uhh...I went to the kitchen because I needed to borrow knives for the, um, aphids? Yeah! The aphids! And those pesky little rats...wait, I mean Tobias. That little stalker...
- Shaanxi? The crap?
- "Siying had several argumenta with Cook" Yes, "argumenta..."
- "she couldn’t help but feel slightly… endangered… around Siying. It seemed that the woman had slightly violent, cynical tendencies." I love you (as a sister, mind you!)
- This is starting to remind me of the Secret Garden, except SG was better...
- Thank you for not referring to the tree as an "it."
- TEA!
- Of course, she just HAS to communicate with the stinkin' cats...
- Haha, get it? Cats' outta the bag...
- Yes, because Banholf and Siying are distant relatives and thus conspiring together to rid of Mary here and that's why you say they're similar. Right?
- FIRE!
- Who's Helen supposed to be?

Much thanks,

Omigosh. XD Parodies = win.

You get ten points for naming her pets in Japanese, and a hundred more for Ria's ability to telepathically communicate with them.
