This is an interesting story and quite compelling at times, but I find your little comments a bit disruptive at the start of the chapter, it's almost like someone has scrawled a note at the top of a page in a book.

I think they'd be better served at the end of a chapter, and only ones related to the story, not about you having formatting problems etc. as those sort of comments take us right out of the great mood you've set. It's like being interrupted by someone when you're settling in to read something good.

Also, you're using a foreign language in the chapter, but making us go looking for the translation at the bottom of the page is very distracting. Not translating within the context of the story also leaves me feeling bewildered, as I don't know what they're said, and that loses any impact their words may make.

I am enjoying your story, but these little things, if corrected, will make it even better.

Ew, pitting Napoleon against Illya to save the Russians soul. Another good chapter.

Poor Mr. Solo, his troubles are only just beginning it seems.

Oh yes, now we're going someplace ;) Very nice.

Very good chapter! The scene with Illya waking was excellent.

There, you did it and now you feel better, right? Intriguing, and this woman Mme. Drakoci is, of course, not an ordinary woman.

Thank you for continuing. Is the mysterious woman another one of Waverly's gypsy friends?

Oh, please, do go on with this! Very tight,neat writing and reminds me of one of the old paperbacks from the 60s. Plus, enjoy the mystery.

Please keep following your muse. This looks great!
Thanks!

Ouch, please tell me there is more to come?

Definitely more please!

No, it is NOT complete.

The power of suggestion. I'd still like a little more to this, though. We're obviously hooked.

Mmmm...Would like more please!

Complete? Seriously? You've just got to do more with this ... and quickly!
