I don't want to give any spoilers but you would be completely mad to overlook this epic novel! - Snuff - Sep 27th, 2003 Extraordinary story. Tas is a very imaginative bard with excellent writing skills. Her characters and plot are well defined. In addition to providing a breathtaking adventure, discerning readers also come away with an insight and appreciation for the advantages an open society always has over a closed society. Epic, well worth the time. - Yvonne - Mar 21st, 2004 Excellent story, well worth reading over and over! I would love to see a sequel about the second generation! - Sandy - Apr 4th, 2004 WOW! What a story! One of the best novel I've ever read on the net. - Leia - Jun 14th, 2005 Hey this is superb! You should think about turning it into a screen play--as a film, it'd make a great addition to the small collection of good lesbian themed films out there. I'd see it if it were at the image out film festival!!! - Anonymous - Jul 22nd, 2005 Man I'm speechless all I can say without giving out spoilers is that this story is A MUST READ!!! Anybody who doesn't is crazy not too. - Krysta - Sep 1st, 2005 I've read this before and will read it again. The characters are well developed and interesting. The world they live in is based on honor and magic. I'm a fantasy reader and this story fits right in. If you enjoy adventure with a martial twist you'll want to read this. You done good Taz. - nljacksn - May-31-2006 I've read this story for a total of 4, 5 times now? It still manages to keep me riveted to it from the start to the end. One of the best stories that I've read. - Natalya - Jun-27-2006 Sensational - do yourself a favour and read this story - Collie - Jul-01-2006 This is an excellent story and well worth a read. This author has a wonderful imagination which, hopefully, they will share with us again in the furure. - Ang - May-01-2007 Excellent story, this is my third reading and I still am amazed of the characters and storyline. I am impress by TAS. Wish I can see more from this writer. - keysstillwaiting - May-19-2007 I read this story some time ago and loved it. Well, I just read it again, and guess what? Loved it more. This story will get your juices flowing...no not those juices. The joy, love, laughter, thriller, wonder, awe ispiring juices. There is a bit of something in this one for everyone. I would not kick a sequel out of my...library. - gayzer - Jun-07-2007 great read. I hope you are writing more stories for us to read. - leia - Jun-20-2007 This is such an awesome story! Wish there was more by this author! - kaysy_1994 - Jun-21-2007 How the hell did I miss this, I loved it and will read it again and again. Any more stories waiting to be sprung on us? - Anonymous - Jun-28-2007 This is excellent and I would recommend this for anyone who has a bit of imagination and appreciates a good storyteller when they find one. - maures - Jul-07-2007 In a word - AWESOME!!!!!!!!! I absolutely loved this story. It was well written and captivating. Please, give us more, whether it's more tales from Dyan or from some other part of your imagination... you have real talent and I'd love to see more of your work! - Akiela Xal - Jul-17-2007 Awesome story, I have read this story 4 times already and each time get more out of it. When oh when will it be published. Please continue it and tell us what happens. Thank you for writing it. - LuvTigger71 - Jul-19-2007 I absolutely loved this story! I could so totally see the two characters as looking like Xena and Gabrielle - but you say you wrote this before being introduced to the Xenaverse, what a cool coincidence! I love it, I love it, I love it! I know that this story is complete as is, but I would really enjoy hearing more from these two beautiful ladies... what do ya say? Sequal anyone? If not a sequal, then please write more in other realms you are a talented bard! - Akiela Xal - Aug-08-2007 Avery long story, but well worth the read... - Tinker - Aug-22-2007 Wow!!! What a great read, I find I can read it again and again. I would love to read more involving these characters. - Sammy - Aug-25-2007 One of the many things in Life taken for granted is freedom, any sort just being free is not something afforded to everyone. The freely given work of Tas is not to be taken lightly, which is probably why I have read and re-read this tale too many times to recall. I still come away with the same feeling, what a shame I cannot carry a tattered copy of this work, in the folds of a bound book... while on my way again to the movie theater to watch it just one more time on a 15 foot by 25 foot screen, before it gets sent to DVD for posterity... One can only hope. Thanks Tas, eagerly waiting for more. One of the best READS ever!! - Terre - Nov-06-2007 READ THIS -- it's long but definitely worth it. Hope the author is working on a sequel. Great story with lots of interesting characters, adventure, romance, etc. No wonder it's a perennial favorite. - cam - Nov-18-2007 If this was in book form, my copy would be dog-eared. I cannot tell you how many times I have read this story. I keep coming back to it. It is so well developed, the "world" is fascinating and the characters are well developed. I would love to see a sequel, however I am very happy to have this to re-read as much as possible. Absolutely wonderful writing. - Brooklyn Xena Fan - Feb-01-2008 This is a story that I have read more times then I can count(literaly). The characters, and the world they live in, grasps ahold of you and doesn't ever let you go. If Tas would take pity on us and write a sequel, I'm sure that that story would also be on my re-reread list. - Anonymous - Feb-09-2008 One of my all time favorite stories. Would love to read more from this author. - jules - Apr-25-2008 One of my all time favorite stories. Would love to read more from this author. - jules - Apr-26-2008 An original premise that is not only fun to read but intriguing as well. - TCSenga - Aug-10-2008 Everytime I read this I enjoy it more and more, well worth a read for anyone. - Titch - Aug-12-2008 bloody fantastic well written excellent WOW brilliant story - Anonymous - Aug-13-2008 One of the best stories ever. A "pre-history" story of the founding would be amazing!!!! - Anonymous - Oct-24-2008 It is a wonderful story!!!! And by all means please read!!!! You will enjoy it!! I DID!!! - poisen ivy - Mar-02-2009 This story is so fun and entertaining that I have read it at least 5 times. It is my go-to story for romance, humor and adventure. Read it, you will love it. Good job Tas!! - Roxie - Apr-28-2009 One of the best stories I have read in 7 years - mjf - May-09-2009 what a wonderful adventure! Tas' world is rich, humorous and deeply fleshed out. You go on this incredible journey and you never know what will happen next. Loved the way this story progressed. I was up till the crack of dawn reading this and don't regret a single minute of it. Read it, you won't be disappointed. - Anonymous - May-25-2009 What a wonderful story. It's a bit long, and in fact could have been two separate stories; but the characters are enjoyable and memorable. The women of Dyan are very impressive and well worth the effort to get to know them. The writing is engaging and the writer managed to create a world of magic and mages that is beautiful and believable, without wasting too much precious reading time on backstory. Excellent. - allgood2 - Jun-14-2009 Excellent story. Considering that this was put up in '03, I guess it would be too much to hope for a sequel? - Anonymous - Jun-16-2009 i came across the this story again and looked at the ratings, seriously people... so i rated this 10/10. hope it helps. this is a really good story. i think this was my first futuristic ff read. now, im looking for another. heheh.. - rec - Jul-05-2009 amazing story! - Anonymous - Sep-07-2009 Can you just say AWESOME?! This is a story that has deep rich characters, a storyline that draws you in and feeds you lavishly and an intensity that makes you drool for the next line to read. YOU MUST READ THIS STORY! We can only hope the author will grace us either a sequel or another story of undoubtedly the same caliber quality. - Cas - Sep-17-2009 amazing...i like it..you must read.. - Anonymous - Nov-17-2009 I generally do not care for this type of genre, but I couldn't stop reading the damn story.
