I LOVE THIS BOOK AND WHAT TYPE OF MESSAGES THEY HAVE IN IT AS WELL

After all this time I have finally read the whole thing. Awesome job! I won't ile I wanted a happy ending, but if you ever do the sequel may a suggest a happily ever after for Isobel at least for me :D You rock!

WOW! This story was awesome!

I loved what you had going on through out the whole story. I get how you ended it but I wish that you would write more to it or come up with a sequel for this story because I would love to see or read tess and max falling in love again and them not living with a life less marriage. I also feel the same way with mike and isabell.

Please let me know if you are going to write more for this or if you already have.

Amazing writing by what I think is an amazing writer!

Sequel that puts Tess and Max's marriage to be a loving one please! This marriage of "convenience" isn't how it should end :(

I enjoyed the ending because is it real.

It's life. Nothing is always confetti and happily ever after, especially after a war. I liked the sad details of its aftermath you described.

I do have hope though that over time Tess & Max's 'loveless' marriage makes a turn around and becomes the opposite.

My goodness that was brilliant!

The action and suspense was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

I was on the edge of my seat and saying NO! and OMG! and Bastard!

LOL

Brava! It was well worth the wait.

And congrats on finishing a wonderful Royal Four fic :D

"Wow" would probably be too mild of a word compared to my reaction to this last two chapters of possibly the most awesome series I've ever read.

The action was literally non-stop right up to the end and ya still kept me hanging on... The fight sequence was spectacularly done, not a bit of it felt off or even contrived. I love that you didn't just allow everything to fall back into place, you had deaths, losses, genuine emotions allowed to play into all the events. And Max's conflict was great at the end... save your people or save your sister tacked onto Tess' final stand against Khivar was perfect. Yeah, I can see how she wouldn't want Khivar to win at the end and one of the evil one's greatest failings is that he didn't recognize Tess' single-mindedness when it came to love. (Stripe her down to the core and all she's ever done she's done in the name of love.) I still love the relationship between Tess and Michael, I think that was one of the issues that was never quite properly explored to its fullest potential on the show... or even here. (Not that that was a criticism of your writing.) I would love to see that friendship/connection evolve some more. And the end - bittersweet as it was - fitted right in. You didn't ignore the consequences of the event or what Tess has been put through; no history was erased there.

I would of course, love to see a sequel to this story... possibly the actual courtship for Destiny? Wouldn't that be a backwards kicker to the old saying: First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby in the baby carriage - of course they would never do things "normal."

And so this is really the end... I can't believe that after six years of this wonderful journey, it's time to come back home... A word to describe your story? EPIC... Well, no need to say that I would have loved an happy ending, but despite the bittersweet taste of this epilogue, I think I understood why you wrote it: lots of things happened, things that have touched and changed them deeply... It will take time to heal all the wounds... But you can be sure that if you ever write a sequel (please, please, please,please do it! I'll give cookies!) I'll be here, ready to read it... And maybe this time you could give us, hopeless romantics, a "and they lived together happily ever after"...Thank you for your amazing job... Destiny supporters like me are very lucky to have you...

Your loyal reader,

Duccia;)

Welcome Back Janet!

All I can say is WOW, your update was BLODDY BRILLIANT! I have been waiting a long time for you to update and you didn't dissapoint me. This was superb you really captured the emotional centre of the four and your description of Tess has made me love her even more if that is at all possible. This is brilliant writing and if you ever wish to do this professionally know that you have a fan for life. Thanks for the updat and I look forward to reading more.

The best regards,

Bolaji

Hey, so what happened to chapter 82 and 83? I just read 82 last night and wanted to finish it tongiht! But alas... the chapters seem to have gone missing... :( But chapter 82 was fantastic!

You should pat yourself on the back for finishing this long and thrilling story after so many years. So much work went into it and I believe it's one of the best fanfics ever.

It wasn't an entirely happy ending. Why must Tess be so negative? Why can't she just love Max when he finally loves her the way she wanted to be? My dream ending would be a happy Rebel wedding and Michael/Isabel being a couple, but the whole story was not a happy one therefore a happy ending would not fit. It's so sad that Tess had to lose her son and that Max never really got to know him.

But the overall fic was wonderful. I'm excited about a sequel. I hope it's ending is one that puts a smile on my face and not something that's bitter-sweet.

I will reread this story over and over again. Great job!

Wow! The whole chapter kept me on the edge of my seat. You wrote the whole fight scene so well, and I can understand why it took months and months. You put so much into this chapter and it was suspensful, touching, and satisfying. But, damn, Kivar is like a horror movie villain who refuses to bite the dust.

I love how the characters, Max especially, has grown from the first chapter where he really was a selfish idiot. And I love the moment between him and Tess at the end of the chapt. I don't want Tess to die. I still have to read the epilogue, but please, Zander already died and so did Tess' mom. I want a happy ending for the Royal Four!

sequel.

It's not the ending I would have liked, but it is an ending that is appropriate for the story. It will take time for Tess to trust Max again. After losing a child and parent, or a husband as in Isabel's case, these women would not jump into anything so soon. For duty, yes, because they both finally understand the sacrifice that duty must involve. But their hearts are another matter.

If you ever decide to do a sequel, I will definitely read it. But you've sown the seeds and I can pretend my own happy ending from here. Thank you for six years of joy.

I miss this story. I just reread the entire thing and want to see how it ends. Is there any chance you could write some more? Thanks.
