Interesting chapter! I like how long these are, really draws me into the story.

Definitely want to see where this is going. I shall await the next chapter patiently.

A nice good look into Spyro and Cynder's thoughts was the perfect thing you needed at that current time and I'm really glad you did it. :) I would have to say, actually, that the entire chapter was completely great. You had described the new world and the Ambassadors - which have had me intrigued in what their role in the plot was - you had described Spyro and Cynder's emotions with each other, underlaying it with past events which had made it amazing.

You timed this chapter great. :) Can't wait until I continue reading!

Very nice chapter. :)

It's really good to see all the guardians again, also with new characters. I can't wait to see how the characters fill out.

Okay, going to read the next one now. :)

A very nice introduction. I found the description very well done and the mysterious beginning definitely was something to remember. Human-like creature with almost reptilian eyes, very mysterious.

I'd be keeping an eye on this story. I can't wait until I read that next chapter. :)

Another enjoyable chapter. :) I don't have too much to say about it. I really liked the bit of bickering that you had between Spyro and Sparx in the beginning. It had a nice light-hearted feel to it, and any scene with Sparx in it just has a way of making me smile anyway. Also, the addition of the Wolves was a nice touch that I wasn't expecting, but I greatly enjoyed the peek into their little company and I hope to see more of them in the future.

I'm coming up short for critiques again, so I'll just leave it at: I'm enjoying the story a lot so far, and I look forward to the next chapter.

I caught with this story...

He is another loyal of your work...and thank you for the time your share with us.

Another intriguing chapter. That life map is a concept that really caught my interest, and has only got me asking more questions than before. I enjoyed the character development as well. Nicely done.

There were a couple of typos scattered around in the chapter (like one time you wrote "you're" instead of "you") but they were extremely infrequent and weren't enough to distract from the story or take away from the writing's quality.

Looking forward to the next installment.

Wow, this is a very different type of fanfic. And I can definetly say I like it so far!

The writing is well done, as is the personality's of the characters. I look foward to the next chapter.

The only thing I can say I regret is ignoring this fic for so long.

Umm... oh wow. I'm speechless.

Nevertheless, that previous statement was a lie. I also have a lot to discuss about simultaneously.

This is an excellently written plot with a hint of mystery surrounding the core. The scenes are so vividly presented, it gives a lifelike essence to it, as if you were actually present. The highlights of the story are the descriptive insights of the characters' emotions, actions and thoughts. It is giving the reader the necessity in understanding the character's personality and background. I can picture the demeanor of all the characters perfectly. There were also very few errors or plot holes, which connected the transitions indefinitely. I do not have to focus on mainly the text, so it can provide a lot of support to imagination variables and exquisite visuals.

As DragonMaster000 stated, I also agree that there is no need to be so apprehensive about bringing the introduction in. The foundation is the most essential asset because how the story builds up from it will be determined. Without the base, everything becomes shaky and erratic, toppling the structure down to ashes.

I shall be waiting in earnest desire of the fourth chapter. Keep up the outstanding work! :D

Holy Cow! You're good. You're really really good.

I can't wait for the next chapter and, belive me, this is something I don't say often. :)

I liked the parallel sort of structure you had in this chapter. I thought it was really interesting how some of the feelings and thoughts from Spyro's perspective were mirrored or contrasted in Cynder's. You clearly put some thought into the setup of it. Nicely done.

And no need to apologize for the 'spiel' and the need for setup. Having a big foundation to put down just means there's lots of room for the story to develop the way I see it, so take as much time as you need for establishment.

Nothing jumped out at me in terms of criticisms for this chapter, so I'll just say I'll be watching to see what happens next.

Very good chapter. A lot of introspection and 'shudders' politics. Really can't get a break, can they?

Intriguing start. While I'll need to read a bit more to make a solid opinion of it, this looks like it has the makings of a very interesting story. I felt like you handled the starting scene with a good level of mystery that caught my interest, and I like the unique take on how the relationship between Spyro and Cynder is portrayed and their situation in the city. The quality of your writing is very good too, and I had no trouble visualizing what was happening. Well done.

I'll be watching for more of this, and I'll be eager to see what happens next.
