Darknessdawns chapter 15 . 9/10/2019 This story is beyond words. I got everything I hoped for and more in it. Though you did (yet again) leave me in tears for several chapters. I don't even care what the original storyline in the games are at this point. THIS IS CANNON! Please keep writing for this world. I'm now dying to know what happens with Caradach's Dragonborn daughter. You did amazing with this. The way you spun this is going to be a hard act for any other fic to follow. The way you have fleshed out the Forsworn/Reachman lore is one of the best I have ever seen. From the looks of it you practically wrote a language and created a people. I just hope this isn't the end for this realm I have fallen in love with. I know there are a couple other pieces written for this world and one is unfinished. I hope you eventually come back to it and possible continue this story where it left off. I know I will never get tired of reading stuff from this world and I doubt I'm the only one. And before I forget, you bringing in the Forsworn/Reachman afterlife was perfect. I loved learning that their beliefs were true and Madanach's daughters were indeed waiting for him. Not to mention him and Liriel were there visiting at the end. Its nice to know they will never truly be parted. |
A friend chapter 1 . 2/13/2018 Im sorry but this story was terrible. I say this as someone who loved the first on but god this was a melodramatic train wreck. For one, you made Liriel's parents too sympathetic. You made it so clear that they loved their children that anyone implying that they didn't because they were Altmer came off more bigoted than them. You made them so sympathetic that when trying to portray them as in the wrong and having everyone turn on them you made everyone else unlikeable by extension. ESPECIALLY Madanach. God he was a cruel dick in the beginning and didn't recover in the end. None of his actions were remotely okay or acceptable as a King and Liriel's husband. Arresting her mom wasn't romantic or for Liriel and no ignoring her distress over it was not an act of someone who loves their wife. And killing off Liriel's father did not make the story flow better. It made it a melodramatic mess. On top of that bullshit addiction plot point it felt like you were just throwing the most dramatic twists in to see if they would work and they didnt. You should have stopped at the first story. Honestly, this wasn't worth the 35 reviews it got. |
Guest chapter 1 . 2/13/2018 This fic was nowhere near as by good as the first one. |
AppleIsTheScrubLord chapter 15 . 7/3/2016 This story made me cry. You are an amazing author (and alliteration is awesome) and your works are so breathtakingly beautiful! |
Speaker-to-Customers chapter 6 . 11/11/2015 In this chapter you say that little Ancalime is 'only thirty-two'. That struck me as a little odd when I read it the first time but I just took your word for it. However during research for my own forthcoming Skyrim fic I came across the official history of Queen Ayrenn, who became Queen of the Summerset Isles in 2E 580. She was born in 2E 555 and so was 25 at the time. She was already an accomplished swordswoman and mage and a description of her at age 28 describes her as a young woman. The picture of her at 28 on the Elder Scrolls Wiki shows her looking about 20 or so in human terms. In order to agree with canon you could do with significantly reducing Ancalime's age - maybe making her in her early teens. |
OedonWrithe chapter 15 . 3/10/2015 TECHNOLOGY! 800 or so years will do that! Wow! I love it. |
OedonWrithe chapter 13 . 3/10/2015 Good. Elenwen couldn't receive a more just fate. Now if they could do that too the rest of the dominion |
OedonWrithe chapter 6 . 3/10/2015 *muffled screams of frustration in the distance* |
OedonWrithe chapter 5 . 3/10/2015 I like Borkul he talks like he's still in prison |
OedonWrithe chapter 1 . 3/10/2015 A honeymoon in Solsteim is probably the worst idea I've ever heard unless they wanna rough it with Skaal and drink some fun Dunmer drinks. Then again, they'll probably enjoy that and won't get arrested for anything daedra related. |
TheGreatness1 chapter 15 . 3/21/2014 Very emotional ending if not incredibly sad. I've loved every update, and enjoyed it to the end. Your work is amazing and this is one of my favourite stories to date. Truly i loved it, and you should be proud that you've made a great many readers lives slightly better by brightening up their days with your excellent characters and writing, me included. Thank you i hope this isnt the last i see of you. |
CeliaB chapter 13 . 3/11/2014 Slow clap for the handling of Elenwen. In all of my realized and fantasized ways of "resolving" her existence, I never even considered the Soul Cairn. You deserve cookies! |
TheGreatness1 chapter 13 . 3/11/2014 Yaay, another chapter. And poor Elenwen indeed, although you did think of a clever way to deal ith the Thalmor, so i forgive you. All of the diplomacy and stuff was very well written and entertaining, it all flowed so smoothly |
Elma M. Wyrm chapter 12 . 3/11/2014 Hello ! I have been following your story since you put chapter 9 online. :) I really enjoy it. Meryndor's death was sad but it increase the dramatic side of the story. I'm looking forward to be able to read chapter 13 and see how Sabrinda will react ! Have a nice day and my apologies for the mistakes, English isn't my mother language. |
TheGreatness1 chapter 12 . 3/8/2014 Yaaayyy a happy ending. Although for a second near the middle I thought Sabrida was going to go all 'Shylock' from 'The merchant of Venice' and be all "Why not just kill me?" considering all that got taken, but then the terms started to get more reasonable. I liked it, your work is always unique Also, props another person who finds Vampire Lords sexy as hell, that long hair they have just makes me shudder regardless of its a guy or gal. This is very well written, and structured brilliantly so it is fluid and long, without seeming too long. Emotions were really well conveyed too so that was good as it actually made reading the story moving, which is always good. Write more like this and i would be so happy (Vamp lord stuff too XD) |
