Wonderful story, excellent style. Your story is one of the best I have read on Fiction Press, if not the best. I love the associations with Greek mythology. Fascinating, truly gripping story. I cannot wait for an update.

This is amazing! You have a really unique writing style--it's melancholy but beautiful at the same time. Not to mention Corrine and Raoul. I have to say, I hated Raoul for the longest time, but I'm starting to warm up to him. As for Corrine, I'm worried. She had the premonition that she wouldn't survive having Raoul's sons, but 'Pythia' says that she will have a daughter as beautiful as she. As for their marriage, what happens? They're so happy and in love, and they get married, they're still happy and in love, she meets Angelicus, she is no longer happy. Still in love, but it seems like something's missing with Corrine. It may be because of Raoul's perspective, but it's still a little bit unsettling.

Anyways, I hope you update soon! Though I can (sort of) understand your busy schedule, I'm still hoping you'll update soon.

PS: What I don't really understand is how this story doesn't have many reviews. It has such a good plot line, and well-developed characters, and it's just so GOOD! But I'm glad you're continuing with it even if you don't have much time!

ok, so i would first of all want to tell you what a great writer you are. and i by all means, do not say it lightly. you are just, extremely talented. your way with words is just so flawless and beautiful and poetic.

corine and raoul. priceless characters.

and i would just like to say that, you deserve A MILLION reviews, not just the 90-something you did get. so don't let it stop you from writing. cause this story and your story-telling is just too geniune and rare to be lost.

your story should get published! you should win an award of some sort for Elysium.

oh, if only he knew...

Great story so far. I've been muddling through your big paragraphs and have emerged victorious :) You write well and thus the big paragraphs were a joy to read. Although it did make me squint a fair bit^^

wow, I LOVE your writing. It's so fresh (ironic, considering the language is old-fashioned. It really is refreshing to read this kind of quality - and your knowledge of history is admirable - it's genuinity is thirst-quenching.

I am falling in love with your story! Will definitely read on.

Oh, just one teeny, tiny thing: it's "mon amie" not "ma amie" - because "ma" ends in a vowel, it needs to be "mon"

Anyway, I greatly admire your skills... :)

Cheers!

One thing I love about this story is the setting, you obviously did your research well so it's nice to have a writer who knows what their doing, and plus I always had a things for stories set in this time period. Your language to appealing to read too, and I can see you have a lot of talent for this writing.
I'm looking forward for the next chapter!

This is such a beautifully well written story. Seriously different from the rest of the fictionpress collection, since its not teenage in the least. Wow, you're definitely under-reviewed. Lol but I think i like Corrines view better than Raoul. His "bipolarness" can be confusing.

Wonderful descriptions, as always. Now I want to go visit Greece!
Update soon!

i can't wait for you to update again i have you're story bookmarked i always check ! x

after all these years of trying to find a good story, very few that i read have matched this one. i.e. -- this is one of the best pieces of literature i have ever read. you should really consider publication. i cannot wait for the next installment.

Again I just wanted to tell you how much I love your lyrical prose and rich descriptions! This chapter was exceedingly charming. Wonderful job.

I just wanted to say, before I continue reading this lovely work, how much I adore your writing! It's so refreshing to read elegant language and beautiful descriptions that harken back to the classics. I am loving this story, and look forward to reading more of your amazing work! Wonderful job!

Considering you updated in less than a month, I'd say for a university student, you're doing a pretty good job with updating regularly.

I really liked how this was chapter was written -- I could imagine myself sailing on the sea with Corinne and Raoul, and now I'm craving lemon sorbet and wishing I was on vacation in Europe. And I don't see a problem with the masculine point of view thus far -- Raoul is a very... how should I say this... refined sort of man. I'd find it more strange if he talked very bluntly without describing all the nice food he gets to eat and how much he's in love with Corinne. ;)

Fabulous chapter as usual. Your descriptions of Greece were captivating, and I loved the little footnotes on Greek mythology. They're so in love, and even the male perspective sounds elegant and refined, as a viscount should sound. Can't wait for the next update!

Ah, lapse of abberation. I meant mythology. After finishing my review and pressing submit, I was like--mythism? HUH? Anyway, I wanted to know if this is the revised version, or the first draft. And if this is your first draft, when you're revising, you should try reading the biography of Hariette Wilson titled "The Courtesan's Revenge," if you haven't read it already. She was one of the most popular courtesan during the Regency era. It might inspire you in some ways in your next revision. Not that I think you need any. I've only read the first two chapters after all. (Oh, by the way, loved the second chapter).
