wow is all i can say

*sighs* A dream come true...I love these types of stories, I don't really believe people can fall in love and get married that easily in reality (yes, some do, but I'll disregard that), but it makes love that much more magical when it can't be easily gotten. I do love this story!

It is one of the most amazing stories i have read in fiction press. wonderful.

what a plesent story! i am so happy to have read it! i am really trying to stop myself from speaking like they did in the olden days-as they do in your beautiful story!

that was like...woah...i give u 5 stars! no better 10! or the most high!, man! u do know how to end a story, i hope you continue it or...do another one alomst like this one, or put the same magic! well i loved the story, still im a little sad for tholly, but abby is happy now, and that is great!, well keep on the good work!

omg this is kinda late for an review but i just read your story the only word i kind say is bittersweet...im glad she ended up with the person she deserved- this is the first story i have read by you but not the last!

Absolutely brilliant :D:D:D! Most wonderful and creative historical fiction story I've ever read...You've just fufilled my day with your story! thank you and keep up the excellent works ;)!

Awesome story! It was extremely fulfilling in an odd way. I also read your sequel/other story. Captivating, interesting, thoughtful, entrapting, i loved them both. Hope you keep writing, because it was a real pleasure reading your work.

SOB omg its so touching! eep. hehehepoor tholly i feel quite badly for him but im so excited that Abby is with a child! wooho anyways i finished reading and all i wanted to say was that it is a great story! ok i know i sound really stupid rightnow but w/e.

yay!haha ill read more tomorrow because my mom just came in and yelled at me to go to sleep.

This is a very touching romance story. The feelings were very well portrayed and there were lots of adventure in it. I love the characters and the plot, and the way you've written it. Have you thought of publishing it? With some polishing and editing, I'm sure you will do well.

At first, when both of my sisters recommended this story to me and told me about the pairing at the end, I wondered how Abby could ever end with someone other than Tholly. They really did love each other, albeit as children. Still, it would be asking too much for Abby to remain in love after being gone for four long years. Though I pity Tholly, I thought Abby was right to marry Pierre and let Tholly love his sons as his children.

I wonder what will happen to them? I guess I'll just have to read Phillip's Rose! I hope it will be as entertaining and romantic as this one. Great job.

yummy goodness great!

This story was wonderful to read, thank you so much for taking the time to write it and post it.

Wow. That's quite an opening. You saw it coming, but you make it plausible how everything could've happened - the sisters one living at the palace, the other not, a fever - that Abby also suffered from - and great character description so far.

My only complaint is that a six-year-old understands death and all that with just the words "your parents are in heaven." I speak from experience. A six-year-old who loses a parent doesn't understand the same way, let alone one sick with a fever. But other than that, very nice.

Wow.

This story is amazing and I am SO happy she ended up with Pierre . . . she is much better off than being 2nd best . . . .a mistress to Tholly.

Still though, during the novel I kinda wished that Tholly made her his queen, but then Pierre was introduced and ALL of that changed :P I feel sorry for Whillemina AND Tholly(or h/w you spell her name) . . . it must be hard to be stuck in a loveless marriage for the rest of your life.

It was WONDERFUL though! I read it all of it through today and though it might've taken me almost 3-4 hours in front of the computer I am happy I did. Now it is off to read more of your wonderful writings :D
