You've managed to set a nice scene here, with a believable interaction between these two.

This was amazing! I loved it! Your portrayal of Ankin and Padme was brilliant and the whole thing was just beyond words! Amazing! Fantastic! Superb! Well done :)

Another terrific fic. I can't believe I didn't see this one before!

Excellent characterization of Padmé and Anakin.

It was a little hard for me to understand why Padmé was melancholy form the start of the fic but I in retrospect and I got it. In AOTC she says: "I've been dying a little bit each day ever since you came back to my life." And this fic captures that slow-death right at its start.

In Padmé’s mind, her Ani was the little slave boy in Tatooine who had an almost scary-in-its-intensity crush on her and that was OK - she could hold [it] in the palm of her hand, even if the intensity burned- but when she meets with him and Kenobi for the first time she sees a young man with Anakin's eyes and presence- old mantle of snowy affection woven into something new... embroidered with innocent silver and riddled with the new crimson of want and she is both frightened of him - You can be frightened of the things you want - and angry with him "Why couldn't you have just stayed a little boy?" for growing up at all and making her fall in love with him.

I daresay you didn't need me to analyze own fic for you and I daresay you're tired of my ranting about how good your stories are but I really can't help it. Your depiction of twisted A/P isn’t morbid - it's fact. Their love isn't all sunshine and roses - it didn't start that way and we all know it's not going to end that way. Why don't you post a fic on a Jedi Board so all your (is saying we're your fans legal?) readers can analyze your fics to death?

And by the way, there are some typos in your fics, at least the ones in SOTJ, Moons of Iego, and Glass Halo. If you want free typo-bugging-only beta, I volunteer my services.

Wow, that was awesome. You have such a way with words. I love the way you pace the story and develop the characters. Please continue with A/A fics!

Everytime you write something new I like to read it slowly and try to absorb all the beautiful details. I can't seem to express how much I love you writing.
Blue Angel chapter 1 . 5/29/2002
Once agains MBM strikes again with another great masterpiece.

As expected, the story was well-written. The idea was about a conversation between two friends getting to know each other again. Doesn't sound very dramatic or high-paced or anything but you really expanded on it to make it significant and interesting to read anyway.

The characters were in character. - Anakin was shy and yet bold about expressing his feelings for Padme which I think is appropriate for someone meeting their life-long love again. And he also fits into his movie persona. Padme was always calm and a bit restrained but longing for what Anakin can offer.

The descriptions of the character's feelings and emotions were well done. You inferred to the reader about what they were reading, you didn't just say, "She/he was in love." You showed through their actions and thoughts that they were in love. Another thing was that the action and setting descriptions were good. The adjectives you used to describe what the characters are doing give depth and detail to the action. The setting descriptions lets the reader get a more visual understanding of what is surrounding the characters like a background.

And the best and most important matter... it's about Anakin and Padme so all the rest doesn't matter. :p Just kidding, of course it does. ;)

This is fabulous. You better continue it! PPLLEEAASSEE...there's so few really good Padme/Anakin stories. Plus I think that you'd have a good take on the "Hey this Sith thing looks like a great idea!" thing.
Grace E. Dragondale chapter 1 . 5/29/2002
This is spectacular! Has nobody else reviewed it...*shrugs* If they haven't they're morons. It isn't too often I find a piece that can actually be called writing instead of fanfiction; this is one of those rare instances. There's really no suggestion I can offer you, save for "Please, please keep writing!"
