 KittyLynne 2006-11-03 . chapter 1Hello there, Siskin-san! ^__^
I'm taking a detour on my way to review ch. 5 of 'The Outsider'; just couldn't resist after I saw this new offering and read the summary for it!
This piece had me captivated from start to finish. Much like the dancer did to her onlooker, you pulled me in from the very first sentence. Your prose was so vivid and skillfully wrought that it seemed like a dance in itself, starting slowly and softly, and building to an exciting and dramatic finale. (To be honest, I was actually hearing Ravel's Bolero playing in my head while I was reading.^^) I could feel my heart pounding right along with Tasuki's...
The ending was extremely satisfying, though I was left with a few questions. Speculating on Miaka's performance and why she was giving it shifted my writer's muse into overdrive... *sighs happily, then regretfully shoos away plot bunnies*
Thank you for a lovely read. This is going on my favorites list. ^_^
All the best,
