I love this fic! I do hope you continue? Otherwise it'll be such a waste ..

I really, really like this! Please, continue it..

Very few people have ever approached this topic at all and it fascinates me. THANK YOU for writing it. Not only that, you do it very skillfully.

Ops. I just reviewed you, (for chp. 2) and afterwards realized that the link list I had been following switched authors without labeling it, so this is actually the only one of your fics I have read. --just ignore everything I said about the other fics, please?
This seriously is an awesome fic, that I really enjoyed, and would love to see more of. I love the mood and the characterizations and the mystery, and you're an excellent writer. Thanks again for writing and sharing this.

Ack. This is great, and I really want more of it. I love your multi-chapter fics in general--you're a great writer. Your single-chapter fics are good too, but I love the depth of the two multi-chapter ones I've read. Anyhow, you have a great handle on mood--it's very sparse and powerful, perfect for the sand-sibs. REally excellent writing. Thanks for writing and sharing--it was a fun read.

you could write a book. I swear, this is a awsome story, and it's length better be the only reason you haven't updated!lol

kitty-chan.

interesting. keep going

...Wow.
This is...amazing.
XD By gods, you can write!
I look forward to your next update.

please update!

The intricacy of the politics and background you've created for this are amazing. Nice work. Here's hoping you'll get round to posting more someday.

Ah poor Gaara. He really has had his world set on its head... can you blame him for being so out of it?

Personally though, I really hope he kills some of those arrogant SOBs on the council. If only for the sake of the village, their power needs to be taken down a peg or three.

I adore the story so far, and I eagarly await the next update.

I like how you've fleshed out the Sand siblings, the Council, and the village itself. They all feel like living, breathing entities, rather than just passing details in a story. I hope you're still working on this story, because I'm sure it will be a masterpiece when it's done.

Your introduction to the story is very eloquent, and this first chapter does a great job of following it up. I appreciate the effort and care that obviously went into writing this; the characters are carefully crafted, and their personalities, thoughts and reactions described masterfully. The manner of storytelling and its content really do demonstrate that this is not a frivolous effort, and I'm looking forward to enjoying the rest of the story.

nice story so far. more??

nicely written, i liked the first chapter
