If there was ever any truth to the saying "saving the best for last", this is the time. I have been waiting for this one to appear. Simply, this fic is brilliant. This is such a powerful story. I was immediately pulled into the fic and immersed headlong into the depths of some of the most clever storytelling it has been my privilege to read in this round of the Games or any other. I love the pacing and the style here. You have a real gift with mood and characterization. And the dialogue! Snape is especially well-done. It is just so very much like him to give no quarter, to be unforgiving and unrelenting and yet, to still be the man Harry learns to love.

The intensity of the piece mirrors the intensity of the men in the story. It was gripping and powerful with mystery, suspense, and a cleverly interwoven subplot that made practically every line a virtual masterpiece of storytelling. You had me at the first line and never let up until the end. Truly, a brilliant piece and an instant classic. I will be reading this one again and again. Lovely!

	Thank you, thank you so much. The fic wouldn't have been posted at all without your rapid-fire beta skills. You're fantastic, and much too kind. It's been a pleasure being your teammate. (Reply to this) (Parent)
