I don't think I have the right adjectives to describe how good this story is.  Let's just say that after finding it last night, I read until my eyes wouldn't stay open any longer and then grabbed my laptop as soon as I woke up this morning.  I just finished even though there were so many other things I should have been doing with my time :)

Edward leaping up into the sky to meet the lightning.  What an image.  The initiate bound upon the world tree -- the incandescent electric arc that stretches between above and below.  And then he falls back to earth again.  Wow.

And next you show us yet another step in the slow downward spiral of Edward's past.  He is still running from home, running from the increasingly ambiguous and problematic morality of the choices he has made, running from the self-justifying monster he is slowly  becoming.

Perhaps you can tell that I find your narrative of his past even more compelling than his present.  There is so much to him.   Will Bella, with a mere 17 years of life, and relatively sheltered at that, be able to be his spiritual peer, I wonder?   I believe it is possible, but await your particular telling .... 

I haven't reviewed every chapter because, well, your writing is so fantastic that I can't think of anything to say.  It's intimidating.

This chapter, with the amazing Edward-in-a-puddle followed by the leap for lightning, was just off the charts fantastic.  The depiction of his action and pain and need for repair was beautiful in words and also in imaginativeness.

Since I've started the review, I may as well throw in that the killings of prisoners of ambiguous evilness was great.  Slowly Edward's debt to his conscience grows; I can't wait to see how he wrestles this and comes to terms with himself.

I love this story!!!!! please update asap!!!!

oh my goodness. I was so thrilled when I saw that this had updated. This is written so beautifully, and so artfully it makes me smile. I feel like I can actually see these two, and see this playing out in cinemascope.

 

i adore you, and your mad pimping skills as well chicken:)

Awesome!  will Edward change her in this story???  Can't wait to find out.

 

I like this story very much!!  I just wish for once that Edward would just be okay at what Bella wanted instead of all the angst he feels about changing her.

I'm not finished with the story yet, but I just had to tell you that I almost dies from lack of oxygen when I read the whole, "To Forks?-No Spoons" thing. I laughed so hard. I can't tell you how many times I've thought that in my head. This story is great. I'm curious to see how Edward and Bella become "Edward and Bella" if you know what I mean. 

This is a delightful fic about the journey of change for both Edward and Bella.  I love this Bella and Edward's history is quite interesting as well.

Eager for more soon.

I hope you had a good July 4th. Now I am going to take vacations sans a laptop and I am afraid to have withdrawal symptoms. But a good point will be to get at least a couple of new chapters of this when I am back. It is one of the best stories currently on twilighted net, and some of the others are good.  So..complimenti, as  we say in Italy.

By the way, the issue about hair. Yes, I also thought that the only possibility to cut the hair of a vamp would be the teeth of another. But about  the fact that they would try to re-attach, wow. I am trying to figure out details about  vampire realities all the time, as I also write. In the terrible one I am currently developing (setr during WW II in Italy), I have this question: If one poor vampire only could hunt for rats, how many would he need each time? (like 20, which could be feasible, or 80, whcih would make me not to use this idea I had..) 

I love this story so, so much.

I haven't read the whole story yet but I just had to tell you that your banner is by far the coolest I've seen yet!
