Wow. What else can i say? That was utterly amazing. I have barely put it down since i started it, and its not as if its exactly short.
Brilliant writing - seriously, you should write a book and sell it. Id buy it.
The way you weaved together plot upon plot was just perfection, im just sad Julius died. I liked him.
The way you portrayed the origional characters was flawless, and you made it seem so easy to incorporate all of your new ones.
Altogether i just loved this so much, im going to find all your other stories now! XD

Wow. Just, wow. I haven't read a good, long, completed RA story for a long time. I love how you made the plot come together in the end, and the OCs were realistic and added to the story wonderfully.

Wow. Just wow. I am so impressed by the blood, sweat, tears, and battery life that went into the making of the wonderfully written thing that is this fanfic.

After binging this story for the past three or so days, I'm finding myself really hoping for a sequel with the "what happened afters" or a continuation of the Epilogue, if you will. This is definitely among my top 10 fanfics that I've read for all of my various fandoms, and with how many I've read, that's saying something.

The plot flows well throughout the entire story and the character personalities are on point, besides a little OOC-ness (which is fine, it's called FANfic for a reason) I don't think Flanagan could have done better.

Your fight scenes, dialogue, and general story were on point. It is so hard to find authors who can make each one intriguing without sounding forced or lacking. Your writing style is absolutely breathtaking, and personally, I would love for you to write more just so I could read it.

If you have not read the entire story, please, please, please do not read further than here.

***MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD***

I immensely enjoyed certain points in the story which included the POV switches for the final fight with Alyss as the White Raven, the flight from Vieri's unorthodox hunt, and the destruction of the arena and the Aetius's forces. The way you incorporated the various life debts into the storyline gave it an edge that definitely keeps the reader on the edge of their seat waiting for more.

Your OCs also fit the story and the need well. Sometimes it's hard not to make your OCs sound forced where they do not have to be or seem foreign to the story, but yours made the story that much more intriguing and engaging. Even down to the story behind Julius and Niccolo's childhood squabbles gave them depth that most end up lacking. I also really enjoyed the way you brought Berkart Falk throughout the story, even if I did want to brain him with a club most of the time. It felt fitting that he was there at the destruction of the Games, since he was the one who got Will into this mess in the first place.

I could go on and on about how much I loved this fic, but I won't because then we'd be here all day. So I'm going to just go ahead one more time and say thank you for persevering and sticking with this story because now others will get to read this wonderful masterpiece.

I never knew I wanted Halt to have kids until he did...

Aww, thanks for the special thanks. We did have some interesting conversations.. xD And fun. ;D
Currently rereading the story again. Still having just as much fun reading it. :)

I bawled when Tug got hurt in the lost stories. And I was reading it in class after finishing an assignment. My teacher and classmates thought I'd gone crazy. They just don't understand.

I just totally binge-read this and it was absolutely stunning. Everything was completely perfect and in character. Thanks you so much for bringing all of this joy into my life. You are a miracle worker

That is one scary poison, wouldnt it damage Wills brain if he didnt breathe for a whole 10 minutes?

I LOVE this story.

Will you ever do another RA fic kinda like this one? Maybe not as long though, because I know how much time that takes (SERIOUSLY, for this fic you wrote like...almost as much as Harry Potter and the Order of the Motherfukin' Phoenix! DAMN.)

You're just so good! You should just write your own book series. I would pay all the money for that. But I also would love it if you wrote another baby fic for RA someday. Because you're the BEST and you have a real talent. Like the Michelangelo of FanFictions... XD

There, I said it!

This was SOOOO good, like...holy crap! I liked it more than all the actual RA books, which is saying something! Your writing style is killer and the storyarc was well planned out and executed. I only wish we had got to see Halt and Alyss baby Will a little bit more in the final chapter, but that's just me *wink*

This has been added to my all-time favorite fanfictions list, it was AMAZING. Thank you for writing it, you're awesome. I would love to see more RA fics from you if you ever feel up to it! *HUGS*

This should totally be made into a book!

Not that I am complaining I love your story so much

Why is there no celebration sex at the end Dx

If I was Flanagan I’d publish this bad boy and give you credit and money. This is some professional author level stuff. Great plot, fits with the series, and to top it all off, a damn good writer. Excellent work!

Absolutely wonderful story! kept me on the edge of my seat.
