Excellent!

Ouch! This story hurts. It's beautiful and tragic and true to character. I think Susan is wasted as a frivolous society wife. This is the first post Last Battle Susan fic I've ever read but it makes sense to me that redemption would not be something that comes easy, but once a queen of Narnia, always a queen of Narnia. I literally cringed when she called Aslan a dumb beast but I can totally see future!Susan doing that.

I always liked stories about post-Last Battle Susan without Redemption.

A great story. Very good.

This was terrific. You've really got a handle on Susan's personality. You portray her so well - even incorporating the nylons and lipsticks. You make her slightly self-centered, as we saw in the books. Not cruel, not evil, just a very silly young woman who thinks she is wise. But is false jade. Everything you wrote about her rang true - from the marriage to the banker to her still loving her siblings. The way she no longer wanted to believe - because it was so silly, was so well done.

Her thoughts on diamonds at the end were magnificent; this entire thing was truly wonderful.

Aww! That's very sweet, and very sad. Wonderful writing!

Very Good. Susan finally understands how false her life became...

I love this. It makes me really wish that I'd thought much more about Susan's ending when I read the books, instead of just focusing on what the story told.

Absolutely beautiful. Tha was such a sad thought, but beautiful in its own right. Thank you for it. I'm going to add it to my favorites, so maybe others will look at it.

Fantastic - sheer beauty in prose.

Wow- This is a really great story. Poor Susan- how Traumatic! I never thought about them living twice- they had to do puberty twice! AH!

well written; liked the comparison of the graves of her siblings with diamonds; liked the phrase: "lived a few incandescent hours;" of course the mention of a jade suggests a play on words: Susan has become "jaded";

and to think you drew on Lewis's own quote; how inspired! I wonder: when Lewis wrote "A Horse and his Boy" had he anticipated that Susan would no longer be a "friend of Narnia" by the end of the series? am looking forward to the release of the Disney version of the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe this coming Dec.

I hope to submit my 1st work shortly: a KP-Narnia crossover; please review (at your leisure)

have perused your list of stories:

you are a "Lost" fan: excellent

and-you are prolific!

Wonderful story, you ended at the perfect time, in my opinion. Growing up is a state of mind...

Cool! You write Charlie and Claire AND Chronicles of Narnia fics. Two for one...

This fic is SO beautifully written. It's sad, but it's a really nice glimpse into what Susan thinks and feels and all, which is nice, because she rather fell out of the story towards the end of the series. Very interesting perspective.

As contradictory as the two previous reviews are, I agree with them both. Ending it where you did was perfect, but oh! How it would be nice for Aslan to speak to her heart right then!
