You have just made me want to buy all four volumes with this one story! I must admit, most of the people on this site have talent and are very talented. I am just great at expressing my opinion and giving complements laced with praise. Please write another one to go with these two! Keep writing the wonderful stories!!

Here, here! I agree completely with Astraplain's comments. So, it's been almost a year since this story. I, along with the other reviewers here, will gobble up the next piece if you want to write it!

You've written an addictive story here. The characterization is spot on and the plot is intricate and intriging. I'm always a fan of seeing Solomon and Azura in fics and you've included them both wonderfully. I'm very much looking forward to the next installment.

Please continue. The storyline is great. I love it. Azura is still chasing Noir, right? So you should continue. Let Noir settles the situation.

i like it its sad but nice when will there be another one though?

Great story! I've already reread it three times. I can't wait to see what Azura does next and how Ray, Florean, and Solomon react to it. Wonderful, wonderful job.

Ack! The -end-? Isn't his like a cliffhanger?
Thank you for the wonderful story! I enjoyed it tremendously. I liked Carnival of Souls and was very happy to see a sequel. It didn't disappoint me :). And made me realize there's just too little GC fic around! So please write more! I'll be looking forward to it! You have a good writing style and a firm and well-rounded characterization.

I am really happy to see this story appear. Carnival of Souls was one of the earliest GC fics I ever read and I have been hoping for a sequel since then.
I must say this story kept me glued to my computer screen until I finished it. It flows so well and made me feel for what Ray and Florian went through. I also like your treatment of their relationship, in that they depend so much on each other but can't move forward until they have dealt with Azura.
I'm hoping for a sequel, as I really want to find out what happens next. Thanks for writing and sharing this amazing fic.

What a delight to find this sequel to your magnificent "Carnival of Souls". And this is a brilliant piece - full of small details to draw each scene clearly yet paced quickly to keep the tension building. Florian's danger and desperate flight, Ray impatience turning to helpless fear and anger, and Azura's confident cruelty are all so clearly conveyed that the reader is drawn in and becomes a bit desperate as well - needing to know what will happen next.

Your characters are beautifully portrayed, especially your Florian - a man who has suffered great trauma but still retains his strong will and sense of self. He may be a bit broken, but Azura did not destroy him. Thank you for sharing such an excellent story.
