*speechless*

The level of skill, the idea, the character...

*speechless*

The descriptions of Vader, of Anakin-that-was...of how he has changed...

*speechless*

The way the scenes all weave in and out of each other...

I'm very sorry. I can't give this story the review it deserves.

Now that's skill! That was pretty amazing. Very postmodern. The fragments worked so well for this- and you arranged them really well too, I think.

Here's proof your imagery is fantastic: I remember reading this years ago and ever since the mental picture of the red tinted window has hung around in my brain (-and I apologise for not reviewing the first time). All of your recurring motifs are effective and really provocative. Unlike what the rest of your reviewers seem to think- I thought the haziness around the epilogue worked well for you. I'm 95% sure I figured it out- but I like having that uncertainty about a story- it makes you think and opens up worlds of possiblities. Another aspect I really enjoyed was the movement you made between the real and the surreal- and I don't mean between the visions and reality. I'm referring to the fact that at points your writing had beautiful clarity of imagery and atmosphere that moved smoothly into periods of uncertain and sparse description. Normally I'm big on descriptive imagery, but I think what you did added another layer to the fragmentation of Padme's mind.

The more I think about it, the more I'm arriving at the decision that this story is just sheer brilliance. I love your work here. BTW, I hope to see more of Each Shard of the Mirror soon- it too promises to be brilliant.

i like this story can't wait to read the ending

Wow! I'm not sure I understood the ending, but this was a VERY cool story - you write so well!

This was a little odd. I'm not sure I understood it, but it was really excellent writing. I think the visions Padme was having were kind of scary... though I'm not sure I understand what was causing them. Oh well.

This is so good! But where's chapter 3?

i dont get it (

was it all just a dream by that girl?

really GGGGOOOOOODDDDD! but confusing

oh well make more stories soon

Very intense story. Don't quite understand the epilogue tho. Was the story just a nightmare dreamed by Achinu?

This story is extremely symbolic, i can tell. But I don't understand this chapter that much. What happened to Padme? I'm just a little confused, but this is a truly beautiful story.

This is...beautiful. I don't think a Star Wars story has ever been so emotionally gripping to me.

The first two pages were interesting but the last page didn't make much sense.

Wow. I love how you write, it's so surreal and beautiful, almost painfully lovely and completly complex. It makes feel everything. I love your writing.

Quite a depressing fic. It does seem like this could have occured though. Well written!
