Reviews for Smoke and Mirrors
Kayla2175 chapter 1 . 7/27/2014
This was a truly amazing story. It wa interesting to read a story from the point of view of Wiress, seeing as that they are few and far between. I was shocked when she hid behind the force field. After reading the books I never thought any thing like that could happen but you wrote it and you wrote it well. The formatting was also new an interesting.

This is, by far, the most ingenious story for the wiry District Three Victor. The last line- brilliance. The best part of this story is the strength and intelligence given to Wiress that so many authors fail to give. Overall, the story is simply phenomenal.

Gotta love Wiress and I approve of this; mindgames within mindgames.

Breathtaking. That's the only word I have for this. BREATHTAKING.
Oh, this is great. You probably have read the '24 Victors, 24 Tributes' story by aimmyarrowshigh - I didn't like her(?) version of Wiress' game, at all. There Wiress basically just out-starved the other tributes, with "little reason" behind it. Phooey, I say. I like this one so much better. Your story also reduces Wiress to a frail, shivering, emaciated shell, but I think that that works for Wiress. She lives so much in her mind. And your Wiress who has the willpower to live on a handful of crackers, the cleverness to see the arena for what it is, and the utter focus to carry out her plan - I think that's such a better, worthier characterization of her. And, of course, the spareness of the writing reflects the spareness of the arena, and hte focus of her mind, very well.

Oh, wow... This is the best Wiress story I've ever seen. Astounding. Seriously.
Masquerading with Shadows chapter 1 . 4/20/2012
This was absolutely brilliant. I love the entire idea of it, and to me it makes perfect sense. District 3 is probably my favourite district and I think you did both Beetee and Wiress justice in how they both thought in the arena, and how they both did similar things. This was just wonderful, well done.

Cool, I like this story; can you please make a sequel, of her when the Capitol is trying to punish her? If you could, that would be great.

I've alway loved Wiress. Now I love her more, thanks to you.
jumpsinpuddles chapter 1 . 8/4/2011
Really enjoyed. Flowed well, enough detail without bogging it down, really developed character. Thanks
HannahTheScribe chapter 1 . 7/7/2011
WOW.

That is all that I seriously have to say.

Honestly, I didn't see the character of this story, so I just thought that this was a random tribute, but at the end, it all made sense.

And the arena was very, very cool. The idea was very, very cool. The writing was very, very amazing. Etc.

WOW, again.

AWESOME. i love one get's her, no one barely even knew how she won. everyone treats her like she's been crazy for life, but it was just a little shock. and in the end she managed to get her point across. if i was in the quell, and went through what wiress did, i'd prob be singing "twinkle twinkle, little star..."

very poetic, and inspiring, as usual.
Zelda12343 chapter 1 . 5/20/2011
Wow! This was really cool!
Skia9 chapter 1 . 4/8/2011
This was great! I thought that it was well written, and the prompt was interpreted pretty well.

My favorite part had to be the amount of description you put in, and I also love how you did Wiress! Great job.

Obiwanlivesforever chapter 1 . 4/7/2011
Wow, I really liked that! What a cool way for her to win! I loved the idea of the arena being full of mirrors and illusions, and how that reflected (no pun intended) Wiress' slipping mental state was excellently written. I also liked how she wanted to play herself up as distracted and forgettable so no one would remember her. Very clever, them tributes from 3.

And Beetee :D I loved how he wouldn't tell the Gamemakers that he knew what was going on with Wiress. Oh, those two are so awesome.

All in all, a masterful one-shot, and I hope you win the contest!
Amelia Bright chapter 1 . 4/7/2011
Wow. This is awesome.
