Wow.

All I have to say is wow.

This story is amazing - the characterizations, the plot, the details... everything about this story makes me want to read it over and over again. I was so disappointed when I finished the last sentence of chapter nine - knowing that I'll have to wait for the next chapter makes me feel all giddy and anxious to see what happens to the characters - how the characters are developed. Truth be told, I'm not a huge fan of Bakura/Anzu, and I prefer Yami/Anzu, but the way you handle it with this story is completely satisfying for anyone with a different preference to read. I love how you each gave the characters a role too - no side roles, no comic reliefs. Each character has a history, a plot, importance... it seems to me that Malik and Kaiba are warming up to Anzu (well, sort of), although they don't admit it. I really do love that.

I hope you update. Words can't describe how much I love this story.

...Wow.
You SHOULD be proud of this chapter :D I really liked it too! Bakura's awesome in this one, and Mai's djinn brings me back to the good ole daydreaming of The Bartimaeus Trilogy, if you have ever heard of it.
Anyway, yeah, there are a few typos, but I easily overlooked them because the chapter was so goo XD Well done!!

This is an inspiring work of art. I love how you are fully and thoughtfully developing the characters and their relationships.

I really enjoy this story. I usually dislike Yugioh fanfiction, but I'm strangely drawn to the characters in this story; particularly the three banished sorcerers. >=] I can't wait for the next chapter!

AWESOME. PURE AWESOME.

Oh, I really hope we can get some romance in soon~ I'm so excited! Plus I bet the plot will keep moving as well along with the romance, which I'm glad about as well!

A mysterious barrier... How I think Mai is the cause of it, is the gut feeling, but what if it wasn't her...?

Poor Malik. D:

I hope you update soon! Loved the chapter!

Yeah! You updated! We finally get to know why Seto was helping Anzu too! I almost feel sorry for Mai...

Salam :) Or hello, as I have come to say it for most of my time on fanfiction. I am really sorry that I haven't reviewed in the longest time, but at least I'm here now right? Sufice to say, I've just had a math exam today and have four more to go - woe is me, so I decided I needed about an hour to myself. So why not read this spectacular story? ;)

In just one chapter, and with the critique that you received, you've completely changed the shape of the story. I loved and I'm literally saying this because it's true - I LOVED this chapter. Fanfiction these days is getting really very dreary. Basic improvement? Anzu. She actually intrigued me through out the whole chapter - she's more cautious, but still bubbling over on the inside with anger. It's like she's a firework - hasn't been lit yet though. Her interaction with all three sorcerers was amazing. Especially, the little quirks and alliances in between - Malik and Bakura against Seto - makes sense. I noticed that each one of them seems to be denying their gradually growing interest in Anzu - which would perhaps grow into attachment or at the very least, they could be amiable with one another. Especially, Seto is very odd - I don't exactly see what interest he has in Anzu, so I'd like to see how you back up his escape plan. Of all three sorcerers, I suppose Seto to be the least interested in the affairs of a young princess or rather damsel in distress.

I just love how in between the situations, you crack funny jokes that make me laugh in the the most serious situations - but at the same time, along the way we come to know a little more about each persons character. For example Malik - I see now that you've stuck very closely with the canon in many aspects, like Malik's hate for Isis (which I didn't even remember). And by mentioning her in the middle, you foreshadowed her arrival (which also caught me off guard). I'm glad you've introduced another character into the story. As for Otogi, Jounouchi and Yami - I love the interaction. You're very sharp in the way that you portray Jou and Shizuka's behaviour in front of Yami and different in front of Mai or some other official/royal. I liked that you explained it as such, because it shows us that Yami does not decided upon friends due to ranking. Very interesting.

I think that as far as it all goes, you're doing very well with all the characters. I'm very happy about the direction that this story is going. I just hope that you hurry and get the action going! I'm on the edge of my seat here. One thing though...going ahead into the future, I wonder when Anzu escapes - if she does at all, and Bakura ends up confronting Yami, will that be the climax of this tale? In some respects I think that the story is going to be long...but at the same time it could only have a few more chapters left. What do you think? Oh and before I close this review, you've given me the idea for my next one-shot - What's the difference between loving someone wholly and loving the way that they make you feel? In both case, it extremely hard to tell. Expand MORE on that point, because, really it's gold. That one thought has a a lot of potential in developing the relationships of all the characters in this story.

One critique? GET ON WITH THE ACTION! Lol :P Loved this chapter and really very, well done! I have high hopes for this story. Can't wait for the next chapter!

Regards, MagkTales.

Great chapter!

Hum? No magical blood at all? Realistically, she should have some, due to genes and whatnot... Rescessive or not. Plus I think it'd be awesome if she had some magical talent. I'm just getting a... damsel in distress feeling from Anzu. Like she complains. A lot.

Everyone else is good, though, especially Seto. I love how you protray him.


Have I been a silent reader? I can't remember if I've dropped a review prior to this. I digress.

And like I said, Anzu seems the kind of girl to make some headway on her own and not just sit silently and take it like a coward. I think it'd be good character development for her to try some stuff on her own, and not just loom around the house.

Congratulations to me? *happy dances* But srsly, congratulations to you for writing this beast of a chapter! There's just so much going on! I really enjoyed reading it. Its great that Anzu is connecting with the three--I haven't read Snow White in awhile, but I would take any cues from the original story if you were planning on adding any humor. I wonder what Bakura's going to do to try to gain Anzu's trust? You've set a tight time frame with only the few (3?) days, so I'm very intrigued as to what's going to happen next! This chapter was thoroughly enjoyable to read, I don't think the palace parts were boring at all, and everyone is pretty much right within their parts in the story. One thing I really don't have a good feel for is how much of the story is left to tell. Hopefully a lot more, but you never know...

But still, this chapter was awesome, and I especially liked the running motif of Anzu only liking being around Yami because of how he makes her feel, not how she feels. Its very interesting, and I hope she can come to a concrete desicion soon. This story is romance too as well as drama! Also, I've changed my mind as to what story this is closest to. There are lots of similarities to the movie Enchanted too! ...Well, except the musical numbers and stuff :D

I'm so sad that recently these chapters aren't garnering as many reviews! They really deserve more, and I can't think of a plausible reason for them not recieving more. You've done everything right, too, so its definitely not your fault. Definitely take a break from this story if you feel you should, I know its really disheartening when people don't review... I really hope you get more for this chapter! Don't give up, I mean this chapter was really well written! Thank you for writing and posting this chapter!

I personally think that you're doing wonderfully with this story. I just have to brace myself with the lengths of each chapter; I'm not quite an intent reader if I'm sitting in one spot for too long. :'D

I really like Seto the more he's with Anzu. Dunno, I've had a short liking to him in the past and it's reawakening. XD You write his personality really well, as you're doing with the other characters here. My most favourite part of this chapter was your description of Hoshäi at the beginning of Isis' part. I admit that I was skeptical about it, since equal distribution is something we all wish for but it would not work out kindly. At first I thought you were saying Isis was in favour of Communism, where even the laziest get as much profit as the smartest and most productive, but you managed to clarify that that wasn't the case. Each person does their part, and if not, they're left to fend for themselves, which really fits in with this time set. Well done with that! :D

I guess I could be counted as those silent readers that you're angry with, but I just get so drained sometimes from sitting so long and staring at a relatively white screen. I'm a slow reader, so it's my fault, lol. Anyway, great chapter, I'll try to write often ;P

Yay 50th review! This story really is taking off :)

Anyway, kudos on the long chapter. It felt substantial, not rushed at all. And I am really starting to like Seto here. He's so deadpan usually but we get to see more of his motivation in this chapter. The alliance with Anzu was unexpected; I like the different levels of drama forming in this story. And the Isis-Shadii angle is interesting and will add a lot to the story! I still think the Yami parts are less interesting but it seems like its developing into something much more dramatic! I can't wait to read what happens next! I can tell the next few chapters are going to be really good!

Haha the Crayon thing was me :D Siruean is the name of Anzu's kingdom, right? Sounds like Cerulean to me, but that's just a guess :) Anyways, here's hoping you update soon!!
