Oh my gosh... wow. Seriously, this story almost made me cry. It seems like a lot of Thuke stories do, but this one in particular is beautiful. Great job.

I hate having no time to read stuff out here. Maybe one day I'll spread out a bit and quit focusing on one category...in any case, I'm glad I did here.

You did a brilliant job characterizing Thalia here, especially with her becoming the tree. I wish I could say I could write something as simple and intricate as that, but I doubt I'd be telling the truth. And everything else...I could go on and on about the whole damn thing, but I'm guessing I'd be repeating the same compliment over and over again. So I'll just say it once now: awesome. Awesome and poignant and powerful and God knows what else. And that's all I have to say about that.

I can't believe I've never reviewed this? Sorry, I've been rereading all of your stories lately for inspiration, and I realized I hadn't favorited this one or reviewed it. Lame. Anyway, I think this story is beautiful, and you make Thalia seem so real. I love the way you measure her life out in years, weeks, and months.

I wish I could describe things the way you do. Keep writing!

This ruled。Period。

This was just...so sad. The last two lines:

She is one day from sixteen for all the days of her life.

She will never stop loving him.

They just...make me want to cry so much. And then, the part where you wrote:

…and all of a sudden, he doesn’t deserve it, because dammit all, they’re in the same boat and that would be too much like treachery…and that’s something that she can’t stand. Traitors are the lowest of the low. So instead she backs down from the anger and settles for raising an eyebrow.

It describes Thalia's character perfectly. She's loyal, she's brave, etc, and you put all of that into that one line.

aw...so sweet :)

that was so sad, man. first percy jackson fic ive ever read--hard for anything else to live up =]

good job!

If there is perfection in understanding Thalia Grace, I think you just reached it. It's such beautiful. How did I not find this before? Once again, you manage to steal my heart and pin it to the corner of one of your stories.

To Beutiful for any word out of me. And that's saying alot, seeing as how much I talk.

Please keep it up.

Wow. Just wow. Please, write more. Its so good, you capture every thing perfectly.




Thalia Castellan.

how could you STOP reading this thing? It's amazing! I loved it. I think Thalia was beautifully in character and just overall! One of the best fanfictions I've EVER read!

This is a brilliantly written story. I was just looking for a fanfic to read and I stumbled across this. I love it, and I think you captured Thalia's personality perfectly. It's amazing how you encorporated all the characters so well. I found one or two typos, but the story was so great that it really didn't matter. The only problem I found was that I'm pretty sure they met Grover before they met Annabeth... XD

Once again, amazing story. Loved it. :)

this is so good! i like how you included her childhood and escape from it so unrestrainedly.

oh my gods...wow. this was beautiful. epicly (idk how to spell epickly? idk) sad and just...amazing..

That was amazing! Soo sweet and yes I did read it all XD
