Rome's Daughter 2008-04-30 ch 5,	abuseOh my! This is an amazing story so far! Leasel sounds more of a lady than Olivia! Who is supposed to teach her? I really like Anthony and Dr. Nathaniel, and hope to see them more. Who is Emily Foster? Mr. Foster's sister? Wife? Mother? Hm... so many questions. Update soon!
aims80 2008-03-13 ch 1,	abuseI am so glad to find a story where there are so far only a couple of chapters so I don't end up with a sore neck and a headache from sitting staring at my laptop screen as I read and read and read. I like the beginning of this story and I think it has the potential to be as good as the rest of your stories on here. I'll definately be reading the next couple of chapters in the next day or two. Keep up the good work!!
AmyBabe 2008-03-08 ch 5,	abuseHey, I'm loving this. Can't wait for you to write more. I love your characters and the way you write. Hurry up.:P AMyBabe
shums 2008-03-03 ch 1,	abusegreat story~!
C.F. Anne 2008-02-27 ch 5,	abuseWONDERFUL update! It was very good, and kept me interested. I can't wait to see where this leads; it makes me excited. Hopefully, it won't take too long before you post another chapter. puppy dog eyes
Duckie Von Paigenheimer 2008-02-18 ch 5,	abuseAh, it's so nice to find an update. About time. I liked it. You did a good job with Olivia and... random.. I just forgot her name. Anyways - I like how you kept her perspective in references to Olivia's apparent mental disorder. Well done. I liked seeing Anthony through Emily's eyes. He seemed much different than the last time I read him - He has potential of depth, that.. I don't know... I kind of didn't anticipate in the previous writing. I assumed he'd be convoluted, but I didn't think he'd naturally be able to show a lighthearted side. Not to say I feel like I know him well - heck, I just met him, but he piqued my interest in a not-... forgot the word. I'm just so helpful. Emily seemed all right. Because she's a new character I recoiled at reading her at first - but she's all right for not knowing anything of her. I won't lie- the chapter was unremarkable to read - not because it wasn't good - but just because, as you know - it's a re-writing. I do like it though. As a re-write I think it's better. I want to read more... get on with it :D
S. Renee 2008-02-18 ch 5,	abuseLovely chapter! I'm getting more and more excited about this story with each new rewritten chapter I read! Mostly, I think you did a brilliant job with the characterization of Olivia in this chapter. I feel like we've learned so much about her in just this one little section. Also, I liked Liesel's wandering mind, imagining Mr. Fisher and Olivia as lovers and their music lessons as trysts. Very amusing just to think of, knowing Olivia! I'm not sure about the last section yet though. The idea of switching viewpoints is great, but if you don't use the technique consistantly, the sections where you DO go outside Liesel's mind are going to seem a little odd. Just my two cents. Update again soon!
chocaholic92 2008-02-18 ch 5,	abuseyay! You updated! I really like this story...its very intriguing and interesting. I like the main character and how, in each chapter, more information and clues are introduced in various ways. I like this rewriting of the original story better...its a lot more mysterious and brings out Liesel's character a lot more. Keep writing this story! Its awesome. update soon!
Duckie Von Paigenheimer 2008-02-06 ch 1,	abuse... Chapter four... chapter four... I'm really needing a chapter five about now... Please... You can do anything! Chapter five will be wonderful! Write it...
nessie5 2008-01-30 ch 4,	abuseWell, this is interesting so far. You have to wonder why the thugs at the gate just grab any person who happens to cross it and throws them in a dungeon (even if she tried calling somebody first). I'm really interested to know what the heck the "covenant" family stands for, and why they are for the Metcalf's. Also, (since I read the summary on your profile) why Olivia's crazy and what set her off when seh was with the tutor. it's still early in the story, but I'm wondering on who the love interest is going to be (the tutor?). Not to mention the ghost! Now, for "Untamable" let me just say that I would love to read a sequel. After I read some stories I like, I picture scenes in which I would like to draw (this happens quite often). What came in my head was Diego on a horse with a little boy and Mercedes standing next to them with a baby. I'll probably never get around to drawing it, but it's got inspiration! lol. But yes, you kinda left some things open with a lot more desired. Jonas Burke and the fact that Diego's a free spirit, because I didn't buy that he would just stay perfectly content at home. The sequel is something I'll look forward to if you ever write it! Anyways, can't wait to see the next chapter of this story! Update asap! ~nessie~
AgamiMuffin 2008-01-13 ch 4,	abuselovely story. My head is absolutely going wild with different ideas on what might really be going on- with Olivia, her tutor, and the bailiff. I can't wait to find out! Like it so far! Update soon!
C.F. Anne 2008-01-10 ch 4,	abuseWonderful! It flowed very nicely and I can tell it is much better than the last version. Kudos to you! XD I hope you won't make us wait as long for another chapter. lol.
I. M. Anonymous 2008-01-09 ch 3,	abuseI've only read up to chapter two, but already i'm intrigued. Liesel's young and honest prose, aswell as your wonderful characterizations and dialogue make this a story I'm sure to revisit. I'm adding it to my favourites right now. :)
JazRox 2008-01-06 ch 4,	abuseThis is a very good story, i liked the bit about the 'wild grandaughter' hope you update soon.
Duckie Von Paigenheimer 2008-01-05 ch 4,	abuseAlrighty. For starters - I loved your ending paragraph! Excellent. Excellent. Excellent. "By tomorrow morning she'll be herself again." Oh - superbly done. Use of a common phrase that has a hidden meaning - without being annoyingly obvious. Me like. I do have to say - Short? Build like a dancer?- I nearly shed a tear :P I loved the corset bit. I was thinking "This is dumb. Why's she being so stupid?" and then - Oh she's lightheaded and malnurished - Heh, not so dumb at all :P Me like. You wrote it very well. One quick technical note: Tutor-Man-Who-Just-Happens-To-Be-Short-And-Have-A-Reference-To-Dance-Which-Brings-A-Short-Dancer-To-Mind-Which-Makes-Me-Want-To-Look-Sad says "Are you quite alright?"... And generally when you hear someone ask a question like, that it's sarcastic or exasperated - generally not very friendly - so the first time I read it I though "Geez, cool it bud". I'd drop the 'quite' to make it sound more genuine. Just my thoughts though. Keep up the good work! Bravo!
