Wonderful plot. I loved it - on so many levels. Thank you.

Fabulous opening. I'm re-reading this because it is so good.

damn u write some complex @#$%^.
got lost- though it would help if i didn't skip chapters. ;)

but i still love it.
when i have time, i'll go back and maybe then understand the whole thing.

still, have a symmery or glossery somewhere?

AMAZING! Most brilliant story ever!! Finally something new and different.

Great fic! I honestly can't wait for my second read (and third, and fourth!)
Though the story feels complete in and of itself I do hope a Book 2 is indeed in the work . . . I'd love to find out what's going on with Sinrick and some other results of the Dowry Project! (Ron can come too I guess:D)
I'm off to read evrything else you've written -- thanks for the excellent read!

The first time I read this story I didn't understand half of it. So I went back and reread it. The complexity of the plot and character motivations I have never before seen in fanfiction and I applaud your amazing talent. Why you are not writing mainstream fiction bewilders me. Your outline for the plot and subplots must have been daunting when you sat down and began to craft the story into a whole, again I am amazed. That being said you left so much unanwered. Where is Ron, what happens next, what adventures await on the island off the coast of Wales, and of course where do Hermione and Severus go from here? I know you said there is a book two in the offing. Is this still the case? I imagine it takes quite a while to outline a book of this magnitude, just wondering if you still intend to follow up. If the answer is no, then be so proud of your work as it stands, an exceptional read.

This is totally under-reviewed and under-read.

It is absolutely magnificent. The background you've created, and the way you've woven the details throughout the entire story - there are no words to adequately discribe the wonderfullness that is this story.

Un**ingbelieveable.

Wow.

Seriously, this story was frankly amazing. The depth of detail, and the development of the characters- particularly Snape's perceptions of Hermione were just fantastic :) I don't think I've read a better agenda fic- the subversiveness of all the characters and the interwoven loyalties and games were just fantastically done.

Wonderful work. You've got my applause! Please tell me a sequel is coming!

Erisah

glorious. I love the twisted intricacies of Hermionie's and Snape's plotting and logic.

I came back tonight to re-read this story. It deserves multiple reads from everyone, and I know I'll be back to read it again and again. While I understand ffn policy of limiting reviews to one per chapter it does limit my ability to thank you for the time and energy which went into this story.

I hope that there will be a sequel some day but the story is full and complete within itself.

Bloody brilliant! I will finish tomorrow.

This was a wonderful, complex, and interesting story that I thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish. You're style is so detailed and delightfully thought-out that I simply couldn't stop reading it. It took me about ten hours, but I got through. Thanks so much for writing it. Now about that sequel...

~Your Worshipfulness

I've just spent several hours immersed in your story, nothing could tear me from my computer. There are a number of things I'd like to say, but at the moment, I'm rendered inarticulate with admiration and delight. Frankly, it's an excellent story filled with fascinating canon extrapolations of characters we've come to know and love, and your plot is a very refreshing twist on what has become a trope in this ship. You've twisted several standard themes into something uniquely your own, and it's thoroughly engaging. Thank you.

Okay. I have finished reading the story, and I might have to go back and reread it. I was really confused. I still am very unclear on a lot of parts, and motives. I feel like I understood the general gist, but it was the deeper complexities that I missed.
That isn't to say I didn't enjoy it. I really liked it. I liked the realistic reasoning, and the thought processes behind the characters. It was awesome. Good job!

The last few chapters build up to this so well.

"Yes, Miss Granger, you were,"came the unexpected answer. "You were falling off the planet." Perfect is the only word.
