Soosie 2008-06-30 ch 10,	abuseI haven't read this in forever, but it's still as good as ever. Great job. =]
LeenaElle 2008-05-16 ch 10,	abuseVery curious to see what's going to happen in the next chapter or so. I feel like all the chapters so far have to be leading up to something major! I think the history I know of Anastasia is always playing in the back of my mind while I'm reading, so I'm wondering what's up next!
Aomera 2008-05-15 ch 10,	abuseooh wonderful chapter. i love the way you follow things so carefully, always making us aware of how nastya feels and describing things so intricately. i hope you manage to find time to write more despite the yummy exams! faerie xx
Auraya 2008-05-14 ch 10,	abuseWHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME TODAY THAT YOU'D UPDATED YESTERDAY YOU MORONIC SAUSAGE! huff very good chapter, worth the wait. cough cough. nudge nudge. I like how Anastasia's confidence in her father is gradually eroded through out the chapter until she finally begins to realise that he was never much more than a figurehead. I liked how the girls were determined to remain defiant and strong even in the face of everything crumbling around them. I love their mama, she's so brave! In so few words you have really reiterated how strong and determinded she is trying to be when she's so scared inside. Well done! Especially in the middle of exams! xx
flea writer 2008-05-13 ch 10,	abusei went to my email and i saw a review alert and checked it, and it was from you, then i saw that a new chapter was up for a story, and thought to myself, please let it be clarelouise's story! and it was! i was so relieved :) this was a good update, i really liked how you made the guard not the opening matter but built up to it :) It shows your maturity as a writer, b/c so many would want to just get straight to the adventure and not act like people actually live lives :) like i said, good job! my favorite part of this chapter would have to be the last paragraphs, starting with "I stumble back into bed" and ending with "maybe he's weaker than i ever knew". that really hits the reader hard just like they are Nastya. please update soon, i'm patiently waiting :0)
Robin Griffith 2008-05-12 ch 4,	abuseWow. You've really captured how the royal family really must have thought of Rasputin. Well done!
Chancel Jordan 2008-05-07 ch 3,	abuseNice cliffhanger at the ending.
Chancel Jordan 2008-05-07 ch 2,	abuseI like the way you describe the mother in this chapter. You make her elegant and poised, but not without working at it -- she's seems approachable as well as important. Your description of the materials in the ladies' dresses is also good. I like to hear a little about clothes aside from color and trendiness. You've done your homework, and it shows, but you've shown it without making it the focal point. Making the Mad Monk (Rasputin) into a more human character is a good idea; the royal family (for the most part) saw him as a trusted confidant. Very nice.
Chancel Jordan 2008-04-30 ch 1,	abuseThe possibilty of Anastasia being alive has always fascinated me. There was much credible evidence that she may have survived that horrible masacre (until recently). I'm glad you've decided to write about her! Nice detail and interaction among your characters. You've really done your research!
Auraya 2008-04-24 ch 9,	abuseyes...i am working... haha. Art prep is such a good excuse to come on the comp! i digress, back to you. wow, well what can i say? I think this is possibly the best written chapter you've done, you put in all this little extra touches, "with the withered grace of an old woman" pour exemple (or is it example? sigh. I'm so gonna fail) which make it so good to read. Exciting stuff happening in this chapter! It's obviously building up to the inevitable! I have only one tiny little thing (i hate critising ((not really critisising more contructive comments)) but i know i find it helpful so hopefully you will too!) is about the abdication thing. I think it would be even better if the reaction to the news was slightly stronger if it was such a shock or had them specualting what may happen if things didnt get better. I hope that helps a little. But i thought this was a very very good chapter. I really enjoyed it (crikey this is getting long) and I'm looking forward to an update. May it be in the immediate future...
flea writer 2008-04-22 ch 9,	abuseoh! n i c e :) very nice indeed. this chapter was very descriptive and imaginative! you have made her problem so realistic that i can sympathize with almost everything mentioned here... just sulking with her and her family. I especially love the line, "the last days of precious freedom pass by in a blur, the snow melting into new sprigs of fresh green grass". I love the arguementative scene of the pestering Alexei and his sisters :) do keep on, i'm waiting with anticipation to see what will happen next...
Aomera 2008-04-21 ch 9,	abusethis another brilliant chapter, wonderfully written. i really feel im getting to know the family and to see where each of them stands and also to understnad the strong bonds between them. one thing - i dont think the sentence 'One day in late January Mr Shubin doesn’t turn up; I haven’t seen him since last year but maths was always my worst subject.' reads very well. do you mean that she's not sure it's been a year because she's not very good at calculating the time? i may be being really dense but i read it a few times and couldn't get it!! hope thats helpful. looking forward to more :D faerie xx
LeenaElle 2008-04-20 ch 9,	abuseNow, I don't really know how much of this is from your imagination, and how much you've taken from the actual history of this event. But I had no idea that Nicholas abdicated his throne, or even spoke of abdicating, did that really happen? I'm excited to see where you go with this! Looking forward to the update!
dragonflydreamer 2008-04-20 ch 1,	abuseReviewing for the Review Game's Review Marathon! (link in profile) It sounds like you're off to a pretty good start. You did a very good job of establishing the personalities of the characters. However, I felt that this contained a lot of good action and dialogue, but very little description. Let's see what surprises chapter 2 holds...
LeenaElle 2008-04-17 ch 8,	abuseSo sorry I took so long to review! I'm excited to see where you go from here, you've definitely set the stage for what is to come. Great chapter!
