NICE!NICE!NICE!NICE!NICE!NICE!NICE!
I loved it. You are a very talented writer.

ouch. i am scarred for life. too young. oh well,i have a long life left...*ew*

well...i hope link gets him,if its not him himself...bwaahahahahah!

Excellent! Your fics never cease to completely satisfy and amaze. I love your style!

Very good, very cool

Wow... your fic is smaller than most of the good fics I read out there, but this is some dang good material. Also, the ending seemed very appropriate. It doesn't get preachy and remains simple and pertaining to matters that are so real that it's scary. You've done a good job here. Well done.

An excellent, suspenseful thriller! I loved it!

I swear, if you stuck this in a book, nobody would be the wiser. I LOVED IT! You have developed the characters very well (especially Duncan). I wish you luck in finishing Darkness Rising. By the way, but I assume you get a lot of this, but if you're free, would you mind R&Ring my story (Legend of Zelda: The Hikari). The people who'ver read it so far say its great, but I'm still not so sure. Don't worry yourself if you can't though. Another job well done!

Sometimes I just skim stories to get to the good parts. Your entire story was a good part. Nice work. _

The whole story was fantastic

Hee Hee. That's kinky.

Wonderful! That's going on my favs! I loved it, the danger...the thrill...

Aha...so *this* is what you've had up your sleeve! Well-written and nicely plotted, as always. I congratulate you on another fine work! _

Very good work. I enjoyed the story greatly. Not knowing the indentity of the killer compiled with the clues made for a very nervous fisrt few chapters. You have a great knack for Mystery writing it would seem. I also enjoyed the depth of the message behind it all.

Wow, this is good! I loved the story line, it made you think, ya know? And that dustjacket was REALLY kewl! You're a really good writer, keep it up; I'll be looking for more from you. _

I'd just like to add a couple of thoughts to those from my first read-through. First, I have to repeat Laura's praise for how well you handled the killer's character. There's a fine line between creating a sense of sympathy and going overboard and trying to actually *force* the reader to be sympathetic, and you tread it well. I think this best shows in Link's reluctance to seriously harm the man, yet his determination that Kazuo *must be stopped,* even if it means having the guards kill him if Link loses the fight. Second, I enjoyed how you refused to let this story exist in a vacuum. Having Link and Glenn send messages to Zelda and having her send them back lets the reader know that there are more people in Hyrule than just the specific actors in this story. Additionally, the references to the fire served the dual purpose of giving Kazuo his motive *and* creating a history. Many ff authors fall into the trap of acting as if time began with the start of their stories. Oh, and as a person who can't plot worth a darn, I love how you had such tight control over the storyline. Love it. But that's enough for now! ;-) -HJ (nitpicking pain in the posterior)
