Very well written! I especially liked how you created a thorough history for the past century or so, and tied it into the story instead of summarizing at the beginning. And I liked your take on Lyra's old age. The only aspect that required a little too much suspension of belief was the amount of technology that had been created since the end of the trilogy era. This is one of the best fanfiction works that I've read in a while, so great job!

Oh my god... that really made me think... I'm glad you didn't blow it all and make her go in. I loved the end aswell. All in all, a fantastic story. :)

Love it. It was really sweet. I loved the part about the harpies.

I really enjoyed reading this, because it keeps well within the spirit of the books, yet it gives some more of the resolution that I had been craving. I can see Lyra giving into temptation just once, but I'm glad that she found the strength to do what was right. I especially loved the ending dialogue... what would the harpies think, indeed? Thanks for writing such a good story.

That is one of the most beautiful stories I have ever read. I'm sitting here crying! Your Lyra at eighty is perfect, and your picture of Lyra's world in seventy years very believable. I also like your own characters and the way you've shifted the focus and the view of Lyra: the beginning was intriguing, and the business context not intrusive.

Beautiful and haunting...

im sorry, your story just didn't get my interest at the start. it seemed Irrelevant to the story and lost my attention.

that was a great story - I'm sitting here crying a bit, in a public microlab! very nicely written
