I'm so glad you finally updated! I love this story, it literally has to be my favorite. I've had it bookmarked for years, checking basically every minute to see if you've updated. I love it! And I can't wait to read what happens next! You're an amazing writer!

I really love how you kept the essence of the characters while still giving them your own little twists, things they had to do in this universe they've never though about in the original. Also, reviews help me keep track of stories.

Hey Breeelis,
I really love how you have developed the characters in this story. I love that Toph is still the tough as nails chick we know and love, but she still has a soft side. Or how Aang while still a very good person at heart, still has to deal with the internal conflict of his position in society and how he's doing things that he morally doesn't agree with, but does it for his own survival. Or how Aang is so positive with everyone except himself.
I notice that some of my PM's haven't gotten answered, which I know life can get in the way, so if you don't get to them right away I understand. If I said anything that my have offended you I apologize, it was purely accidental. Thanks for the great stories and keep it up. Can't wait to see where this story goes!

Your loyal reader,
Guest!

Glad you've updated again! Great chapter! I really feel like you made these characters very spot-on. I also really like how you made the moment between Aang and Toph very tender without being too touchy-feely. Can't wait for more!

Everything feels natural, from the lighthearted, fairly witty banter between the duo, to the times when they talk about more serious matters, and, as is prevalent in this chapter, when they continue to argue about anything it certainly feels like they have potential to be a real couple. Perhaps a mildly combative one, but seeing how they're apparently comfortable with some level of physical contact and affection, there just seems to be an inescapable magnetism that draws the two together. You've certainly done a fine job of making me desire for them to just kiss and get it over with already, at least in context, that is.

Now, onto this chapter in particular, I'll just say that Sokka was a pleasure to read. Maybe it's my tendency to identify with him the most, but anytime he's on page or screen, I just tend to be drawn to him. His humor and manner of speaking were two things you nailed.

Also, I really enjoyed the tender scene between Toph and Aang when she had her feet in his lap, and was examining his scar. Your description of her countenance was a perfect example of less being more, as it conveyed just how disturbed and worried for him she was without going a bunch of superfluous purple prose. The same thing applies to their verbal spar, where they each have a very equal point. It's evident that Aang still needs to grow as a character, and who better to drag him along that path than Toph?

Short point: Toph's zinger to Jet was fantastic. Like, I actually chuckled aloud, which isn't the easiest thing to make me do. Jet's approval also made me appreciate this iteration of him a whole lot more. It just goes to show that the best wisecrackers are the ones who make you laugh when they insult you.

And, the ending really makes me wanna read the next installment, because I can only imagine what hijinks those crazy kids'll get up to.

In short, this has been a fantastic ride and I look forward to riding this wave wherever it may lead me. Kudos, senorita.

I hit submit by mistake, so the continuation must be anonymous. My mistake.

Oh, boy. This is gonna be a massive eyeful. While a part of me is desperately screaming to go back and review this chapter by chapter, there is no real way for me to do so at this point. Knowing how things go would inevitably affect how I word things. So, a good chunk of this will be a bit of a highlight reel of sorts. Anyways, here we go.

Now, one thing about 'Entranced as a whole is how effective a time capsule it is for your writing style and ability as a whole. Through reading the first fifteen chapters, I'm amazed that you not only managed to improve as readily as you did, but that you also kept the tone and feel of the work fairly similar. Oftentimes, when fics take years to write, especially as many as this one has, there tends to be a vast gulf between the writing of the introductory portions and the finale. Admittedly some are more dramatic a shift than others, but my point is that there is almost always a shift of some sort that's present. The simple fact that this still feels cohesive despite the years that have passed since you posted the first chapter, and the months that tend to pass between new chapters (not knocking you for that, by the way; I'd rather read a good, long chapter every few months than the inverse) is worthy of attention and praise.

Secondly, I absolutely adore the little world you've created in this here work. Gaoling seems to ba at once alive and dead. It's akin to Sacramento, if you want a real-life comparison. Despit it being full of zest and culture in its own right, it pales in comparison to places like Los Angeles and San Francisco in terms of sheer size and the existence of unique properties that give a city life. Gaoling is this to Ba Sing Se and Omashu respectively. From the bustling marketpplace, to the shady bars, to the alley that Aang and Toph find themselves in after the mob starts chasing them, every little detail you breathe into it gives it the air of a city that one wants to just leave as quickly as possible. Buena para ti.

And, lastly, but certainly not least the characters. I swear to some deity up above that you were born to write Toph I mean, you nail pretty much every little aspect of her personality down pat, and it's kind of intimidating. It makes me afraid to try to write her, cuz I doubt I could top your portrayal. Are you Toph made flesh? Methinks you are...

Aang is also portrayed faithfully, as well as interestingly. You clearly took to heart the many times over the series that he experiences doubt and insecurity, for you recreate the feelings, albeit with altered stimuli, and with a more teenage perspective. His stubbornness seems ramped up, but it's perfectly acceptable for a child of the streets such as him to be so self-reliant, even to a fault. His added snark is refreshing, as it make the banter between him and our leading lady all the more entertaining to read. Speaking of...

Ah, the meat and the heart of the story. The cornerstone, if you will. The Taang. Now, while I will say that I was already an ardent supporter of this pairing before stumbling across this little slice of heaven, but this made me feel embrace my inner shipper. Now, I'm aware that the dynamic the two present in the show gives you plenty to work off of, but you just hit it out of the park in terms of execution here. From the beginning, where they had a feud to the point where they finally started speaking to each other and an understanding was made between the two, it certainly felt like two contrasting and clashing personalities butting heads for the first time. Admittedly, I can definitely see the liberal borrowing of the events of Toph's introductory episode, but it worked just fine, and it made for a more believable relationship in the ensuing chapters.

Everything since then, what with them slowly but surely getting the hots for the other has also been portrayed well. Admittedly, one complaint I do have is how Aang is in such clear denial regarding his affections for the blunt young heiress. Now, while his reasoning is certainly easy to grasp and accept, this is more my problem with the trope in general. I don't see why he can't admit to himself that he likes her, but still be resigned to the idea that nothing will come of it based on social standing. Admittedly, he'd have to be blind to not see that she clearly feels the same, but teenage boys are rather thick in that regard. Back to point, I just dislike the trope in general, but your execution of it has nothing wrong with it.

And, to elaborate on the relationship further, I can't really find a fault in either the progression or the implementation.

I read the whole thing today... Awesome storyline, and I like it... Interesting.

Hanging on here. It was only about 5 months between chapters 15-16

I really like this story so far! I'm looking forward to more!

OMG I JUST READ THIS ALL TODAY AND I LOVE IT. THANKS FOR WRITING IT AND I'LL KEEP READING IT.

I can't wait to hear more about Aang's past!
