Very enjoyable, well written and well told. <3

What a fun, fairly well written little read! I just wanted to thank you for sharing this with us, and maybe give a little encouragement for another update, of course! Your plot is interesting (though I do consider that bit with mars somewhat of a sellout moment) but well, things like that happen in anime all the time.
As far as constructive criticism goes, it's well written, but would hurt at all to flesh out the paragraphs a tinsie bit more (this is NOT a bad comment, I say it to everyone, promise!) and the vocabulary is a bit superfluous. Other than that, very well done.
Nich - Thursday November 06, 2008 at 19:16
Oh wow! This is a very very very good story! I beg of you please please please continue! I must know what happens! This story has truly captivated me! Please continue!

OMG! You’re updated!!! I love your writing. Great story. Looking forward to reading more! Please update soon!
Loki - Thursday October 30, 2008 at 16:07
What a pleasure it is to read and to work on for you Bunny-chan! =^_^=

I love the way you bring the characters alive, you feel for and with them, see their faces and they move you, you're there every step of the way, I enjoyed the atmospheric touch, the flower rite, very much like old European traditions in Hungary and elsewhere, haunting, touching, splashed with a little humor, drama and the little twists and turns, amazing. I love this story and Endy and Sere, Luna, (we see into her character a bit more in this chapter) awesome!

A beautiful inclusion of lyric prose, and a cliffy, TR is a writer who will have you coming back for more and weaves worlds of texture and depth, reminiscent of Stormlight and other greats...a class act! *hearts*
Fushigi_Hime - Wednesday September 17, 2008 at 17:21
I love this story as much as I love "Letters from Serenity" *hint hint* What a beautiful story you're weaving, I patiently wait for more. I did find the next chapter posted on ff.net that wasn't here, and I was very glad to have found it. Of course after reading I want to know who she chooses. Please continue soon, I eagerly wait for the next chapters.
SailorPheonix3 - Tuesday June 12, 2007 at 17:55
WOW! I was at first kind of a little cynical when I first starting reading this story. The descriptions and details and history that you give to each chapter is a blessing! I am very happy to see such wonder in your writing and it was a breath of fresh air! Please continue writing I can't wait to see how the story unfolds and ends.
heaven85 - Monday May 21, 2007 at 06:07
Great job!!!! I love the story so far. Can't wait to read the next chapter.
Anonymous - Sunday May 20, 2007 at 18:37
Oh gosh this is soooo good, the characters, venus kicks butt, and you had me wondering about that boy... the whole chapter was brill, you rock... I love reading all your work TK, keep it up and love the scenery and the vocab and all. top rate!! ^^
Loki - Saturday January 13, 2007 at 16:41
It was a pleasure once again reading this latest chapter TR, ^_^ and working with you. I was enchanted as I read, and read it over three times to get the power and atmosphere you managed to generate for us.(I love Dead Can Dance, and anything of theirs is powerful, beautiful and evocative -- Lisa Gerard is a great vocalist and wrote the soundtrack for Gladiator, if people are curious to know who she is).

I can only say, that you never cease to amaze me the way you are continuously blossoming as a writer. It shows, especially in this chapter.

Beautiful characterisation, the images, the emotions and the otherworldly magic saturates the narrative and I can only say...Wow!

Mars, she was incredible and the temple scene, breathtaking.

Kudos for a wonderful and beautifully penned chapter! *hands you fiery red roses and a crystal wand and bows* L. =^_^=

Simply amazing. I feel like I am part of it. Serenity and Endymion, I love this and your characterizatio is right on the money. Sooo cool! You are a great writer! ^^
Tesh-chan - Monday January 08, 2007 at 18:58
This story continues to capture me. ^^

Endymion's changing regard toward Serenity is what got me. They're both surprising each other. :D

Hee, Luna was funny in this chapter. X3

Good job! Lookin forward to reading more, and no rush. :P

Tesh-chan : )

I look forward to the next chapter. I'll be waiting patiently....or at the very least I'll be trying to wait patiently.
Rae - Sunday January 07, 2007 at 02:39
GREAT chapter please update again soon
cittykat21 - Friday January 05, 2007 at 02:48
This is beautifully written, the plot has its own uniqueness and your characters are well developed. The muses prose was well written and the story is flowing well. I look forward to future chapters.
Tesh-chan - Monday January 01, 2007 at 02:56
Hi again! I finally got a chance to finish reading! ^^

I laughed a little in chapter 6 at Serenity's reaction to the horses. XD I also enjoyed her reaction to hats and parasols. She does seem a little on the spoiled side, but it's understandable being somewhere new.

Well done, I really like your style!

Eagerly awaiting your next update,

Tesh-chan : )
StarzAngelus - Monday December 04, 2006 at 06:53
Howdy! I just wanted to say that I'm enjoying your story and can't wait for the update. That whole card game scene is one of my faves (and of course the fencing scene!). You make it interesting and entertaining (which I need sometimes :) ). Keep it up!
strawberry - Saturday December 02, 2006 at 16:43
Great story, i really love it, the characters are funny and caring you are very descriptive the plot is interesting and the dialogues are also very good..can't wait to read more....this story is amazing
Tesh-chan - Saturday November 25, 2006 at 05:22
Great job so far! I just read the chapter involving Serenity and Endymion's fencing match. Did you do some research on the rules of fencing? ^^ It was cool.

*yawn* Bedtime. I wish I could write more, but I'm wicked tired... I'll definitely read more!

Tesh-chan : )
Anonymous - Saturday November 18, 2006 at 21:46
I love your story.. it's original! Please update soon!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tesh-chan - Wednesday November 15, 2006 at 06:49
This fic is absolutely original. I love how it takes place in Silver Millenium times. Your descriptions are excellent. I would NEVER have thought of including Greek mythology in a SM fanfic! ^^ I've always been interested in it. I also like how Serenity's Inner Senshi are princesses, but the Outers are Queens. Their names are so pretty... ^_^ Did you do some research to find names?

Anyhoo, I love how the story's going from reading the prologue and 1st chapter. I'm sure these questions will be answered later, but who is Serenity's captor? Initially I thought it was Endymion, but it seems like it's a completely different guy. o.o

Good job, and keep it up! I'm planning to read more as soon as I can. :D

Tesh-chan : )
starryice18 - Tuesday November 14, 2006 at 18:17

So, keepin an eye out for more of it, *winks* ^^
Anonymous - Monday October 23, 2006 at 03:45
I understand that Endymion is annoyed at having to fight the princess but wouldn't he understand that anybody under that situation would fight to get away? I don't understand why he was so ANGRY. It doesn't make sense yet, they got along well the night before. But I want to see Endymion annoyed, it's positively delightful.
Rakusa - Friday October 20, 2006 at 06:41
I'm do in love with this story!
galena_steel - Sunday October 15, 2006 at 13:08
Wonderful start! I was caught from the first lines. I think I know who the mystery man is but there are a few details that make me question my assumption. I can't wait to find out. Your characters are charming and your dialogue is wonderful, it flows very well. The whole mood of your story is really unique. It feels like a darkish fairytale - you know the russian kind that hardly ever has a completely happy ending - mostly coming from our mystery man I think. I love it.

If I had to make one suggestion is would be to not worry so much about readers following your characters 'new' names (I assume that was why you added 'Queen Persephone' in brackets that one time. I found it a distraction. If you do think its a problem maybe add a list in authors notes that people can refer to. But otherwise, its great. Keep going!
Loki - Friday October 13, 2006 at 19:14
A beautiful and exciting chapter

WISE: I did find some structural, grammar and other flaws, like multiple (?!) no-no punctuation errors and such, but in this review I wish to confine myself to other aspects of your writing.

A fabulous narrative style, your ability to create worlds that set the tone of the Silver Millennium epic you are giving us is so vivid and truly amazing. I love the characters, they are real and have presence, affect amazing. Serenity and how she interacts with the other characters, even Luna, was beautifully done.

The plot is grand and the intrigue and the mythology and atmosphere you bring to the writing is first rate.

Your vocabulary and use of language, the prose by the Muses, and so much more was breathtaking.

So, just sort out those flaws and this story will truly shine!

All the best and looking forward to more. **hands you a basket of dew-splashed Moon Roses and crystal pen and bows* L.
Loki - Friday October 13, 2006 at 17:32
A new dawn upon the Moon and the stage is set

WISE: After reading your first story TK -- I was impressed. And now, you have given us another fabulous story.

I love the way you set up events, beautifully done and it flowed nicely.

I loved the suspense and the dialogue, you captured the atmosphere in a visual tapestry that was so palpable and the characters so well in thought and gave us the background to wet our appetite for more -- congrats and I will now read the next chapter! *hands you a garland of dew-drenched Moon Roses and a silver pen and bows* L.
