Thanks for writing this - it was super cute. I like the way you showed how Clare (or Rosie)'s relationship with Mark's friends grew. I would love to see it expanded, or maybe another one-shot with a look at Clare and Mark's relationship.

Since I think constructive criticism is always helpful, it might make the story flow better if you use italics to designate thoughts, rather than *. You also spell Sarah as Sara a couple of times (I don't actually remember which one is correct; it's been a while since I read the book). Those are just some nitpicky things, though. Overall I thought your story was great.

Great job!

write the sequel to it please i want to know what happens next

please write a sequal

well, aside from some grammar, etc mistakes, it's quite good. Could be a bit more detailed though. Please do write a sequel.

A sequel ? YES! I just found this story and I LOVE IT!

yes please write a sequel! there are not enough china garden stories! i would love to see a new one:)

ok, while i like the concept, i think there needs to be more secrecy, the dance is supposed to be a sacred thing, not used for entertainment and everyday use. i don't think clare would just use it so casually, idk i can't quite decide if i like it or not.

Um...you have a lot of mixed messages. One second Pete and Clare are spilling priceless information-doing the maze dance, talking about the Guardians-and then the next, Clare is swearing off telling them anything!

You should iron out those kinks.

And you used exact quotes from the book...you might wanna work on not doing that.

I liked it. Yes, write a sequal. I command you to. Now. PLEASE! I'll stop beging but...is it working? Cuz if it is please,please, please, please, please!

really well written. however, there were many parts that i believe gave away too much information about the guardians and so on. For instance, Adrian and Sara were allowed to know the location of Ravensmere and that it was kept a secret from the outside world. Also, it didn't feel right when Clare danced for the tour. But all in all, it was a really great fic. I would love for you to continue!

Excellant!

I really love this book and was thrilled when they added a section here on fanfiction.

Your fanfic did the story justice. Quite realistic.

Most certainly write a sequel, too good to let it go!

You should write more! It's really good.

I love The China Garden! The story was great but there are no Mark/Clare stories. maybe I'll write one...

great fic. maybe i'll write a China Garden fic. too...

Pretty Plz. Write a sequal.
