    Oh my God.
    Oh my God.
    Oh mon dieu.
    This is actually amazing.
    Like... I'm not even kidding, or trying to be nice.
    I think I actually love this.
    It's like you've created your own little universe, it's awesome.
    But it feels like it could be real - ya know?
    Like Ben Barker said, it seems like a world created by one of those amazing fantasy writers.
    I am definitely going to be keeping an eye on this.
    You've now got yourself a horribly obsessive reader who will hound you for updates.
    Just a warning.
    It's what you get for writing some so awesome.
    It's your own fault.

    Wow. Just wow.
    I'm feeling a little green-eyed, for a blue-eyed chick.

    It seems like something that C.S. Lewis would create. Such imagination, and a perfect balance between action and description.

    Sugar, I'm strugling to find the words, here. You're spectacular. Okay? Amazing.
    One day, you'll be published. I'll read it when the movie comes out! :D

    The title is very magical, though it didn't let me know a thing. I would have never guesed. XD Fact, I love fairytales, and this reminds me of one. The details are super. I just love how it plays like a movie in my mind. The layout is beautiful. If you do not update this amazing story I will hang you by your toes. lol <3

    (P.S: If you couldn't already tell, I'm subbing!)

    Coheed & Cambria are one of my favorite bands, and I never see anything about them here, so when I saw the description I spazzed right out xD

    The story is great so far! I love your description, the way you write is unique. I love it!

    Have I ever told you that you write uber beautifully?
    Because you do, seriously.

    Your descriptions are always so pretty and flowy and make me so jealous of you.
    This story is lovely.

    I don't know what to say that won't just repeat all the previous commenters.

    I'll leave it at that.

    This is such a breathtaking piece of writing.
    There's not a bad thing I could say about this.

    I'm in love with the names you choose; for characters and places.
    They're very old-world, and I like that a lot.

    Wild was not the same as crazy nor disordered, not at all. Wild was a word that would climb the tallest mountain, run through the thickest forest, and swim across the widest ocean. I loved that line. It's so beautiful and just flowed perfectly. <3 The entire thing was amazing, though medieval stuff is not for me, it wasn't hard to get into.

    I pretty much just spilled my tea when Bartha was found dead. THAT is just gruesome. You've made me SPILL something. And that never happens!!!

    I am so angry I could !!! you!

    And I did!

    No, I'm not angry. <3

    This was/is/will be lovely.

    Title: Quite interesting as it doesn’t really give anything away. Sounds strangely mystical

    Summary: I would have liked a bit of a summary just so that I had an inkling of what the story was about. I did like the lyrics you used, though.

    Layout: Very elegant and easy to read the text. Combined with the banner, it gave quite a mysterious first impression. I felt myself imagining a strange fog or something similar.

    Chapter 3: I like how you give the impression of description, without actually giving too much description. (Upon re-reading that sentence, it doesn’t make much sense, but I am not sure how else to word it.)
    Your description of the book gave me a very vivid image of what it looks like and you did not go into too much detail, as many people (myself included) may have been tempted to do.
    The language used in both the narration and the dialogue gives the story an “old” feel – as if it was set a long time ago – but it still feels quite timeless.
    Violet did not even allow her gaze to settle on the fountain this time, running past it swiftly and leaping over the wall that divided the darkness from the light. This line really stood out to me as it showed that Violet had her mind set on her goal and that she was leaving behind the safety of the light and stepping into the darkness of the war.
    She would live until the day she died. I found this to be a very interesting line with which to close the chapter. It was very effective in making me want to read more and it also showed Violet’s determination.

    Overall: Thoroughly enjoyable and interesting story. Very well written. Made me want to know more and see what happens next, which is exactly what a good story should do.

    Well done.

    In regards to the author’s note, I think that you had a very well-balanced amount of dialogue and narration and they both served their purpose in getting the story across.

    Wow. I'm almost speechless.

    Very very detailed, and well written. I did not see many issues in the story but on part did stand out.

    "But what she saw lying on the ground before her nearly made Violet's heart stop still."

    You didn't need to add "still" it makes it sound weird, or it's just me. The story was amazing :)

    I love this.
    Fantasy stories that don't involve vampires and werewolves are a serious rarity on here.
    You're a phenomenal writer. Very descriptive and creative.
    The layout's cute, too.
    Keep writing:)

    I've never hated anyone for their ability to write...but florence, darling.
    I don't think we can be friends anymore.
    I seriously, am extremely jealous and in complete awe.
    You're very right, this is your best work. Big time.

    I've already reviewed this but only on the second chapter so I'll comment on the first.

    I love it. It's brilliantly written and you describe everything so well and clear.
    Keep going with <3

    Oooo! I wanna see what happens next! I like it! It seems like it'll be a fun tale of magic and adventure and plenty of darkness thrown in to spice it up. I can't wait until you update it!
