Hi there!

I just wanted to let you know that this story is one of the best I've read. The pacing is brilliant; the story never feelings rushed, nor does it drag on forever. The Andromeda you have written seems very realistic, as do Bellatrix and Narcissa. Some of your portrayals were so dead on in my mind that I found myself shivering. I love how you managed to tie all the elements together and weave such an intricate plot!

The ending was very sad for me... I almost cried, which is unusual for me. Thank you for this excellent story!

I love the depth of these characters. I love how you portray Bellatrix. I love how you show ANOTHER side of Slytherin, a side that JKR never shows in her books.I love...everything about this.

I'm really glad that I found this. It's a nice change from all the other piles of grammatically incorrect stories in this fandom. And this quenched my thirst for the Black family, so thank you for writing this.
^_^

Simply loved this story. Bella was very unpredictable throughout, and I found another side to her that I wasn't expecting.

And of course, those three letters in the last chapter, especially the one for Bella, nearly made me cry...such an amazing work!

I can't believe this fic! This is the only one to perfectly capture the Black sisters, and your portrayal of Bellatrix was particularly insightful. I love this!

Words cannot really describe how much I adored this fic. Your writing on the otherwise obscure and peripheral side characters of the Harry Potter books was SO BEAUTIFULLY written. AHH! You are an incredibly gifted writer! I loved how you explored the innocence of youth and the transformations of these characters through the eyes of Andromeda. Bravo on finishing this exceptional fanfic and I hope to read more of yours in the future!

Aw! :') I love this story so far. Kudos for managing a fic where the couple's first kiss is after hours in a record shop where one of them works... well, I'll just say the premise for this chapter, in the wrong hands, could have been really campy and eye roll worthy and oh so 'done a hundred times before' but you, YOU made it work so well and it read not only as completely original but also as very plausible.

This story is just so GREAT so far! I really like your take on the Black family. It's very impressive to read about Bella's actions here knowing you wrote about them before she came out in the movie because it's so spot on. Like how she always touching Andromeda. She seems to be very tactile in the movies.

Anyway, great job on your characterizations, you've really done a wonderful job expanding all the characters.

And thank you, thank you, thank you, a million times thank you for having the grasp that you do on spelling and grammar. It makes so much of a difference to read somthing you don't feel like you're editing the whole way through.

I'll probably review again when I finish the whole thing. Even though you probably don't even check this site anymore, lol. I just REALLY LIKE this story!

I'm re-reading this fic-- it's one of my favorites! I just wanted to drop a line and say I'm still amazed by the steady growth of her relationship with Tonks. Such a quality story!

This was a truly riveting and heart-felt story. Andromeda's anguish left me breathless; I honestly found myself wondering how she would ever be able make such a painful decision and choose between her sisters and the man she loves.

Simply brillant. Ages aside, I can totally see it being (and presume it to be) canonical. <3

OMG, THIS WAS UTTERLY AMAZING! THE FACT THAT THIS REVIEW IS IN CAPITALS IS AN INDICATOR OF THE ENTHUSIASM WITH WHICH I READ THIS WHOLE FIC. I COULDN'T EVEN STOP TO REVIEW, I JUST WANTED TO FINISH READING IT. I LOVE STORIES FEATURING THE BLACK SISTERS, I FIND THEM MORBIDLY INTRIGUING - AND THIS FIC WAS PARTICULARLY GOOD. YOU'VE MADE ME VIEW BELLATRIX BLACK IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT.

This was utterly perfect - it really was. It was... if only I could find a suitable world that depicts it's brilliance. Your description of the relationship between Bellatrix, Narcissa and Andromeda was so heartfelt - it must have been so hard for her to leave them.
This untold story from the books has always interested me: I must say now that this fiction is my own personal canon. Well done for writing something so fantastic, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
