That was really amazing... I wasn't aware that it was possible to write a good story from the second person point of view. Wow.
Author's Response: Thanks. It's one of my favorite techniques, you should try it some time!

Wow. This is amazing. Your description is spectacular, and your use of 2nd person point of view was very well done. I loved the title and how it was so cleverly interlaced with the story. Your writing style is very advanced. You're one of those people I see published a few years from now. I envy you your talent. =D

*faints* How do I say this... it was wonderful!!! Honestly, I have never been a fan of 2nd POV, but you wrote this so amazingly that it is naught but a moot point. It's absolutely the only 2nd POV story that I have ever read that I have ever absolutely loved! Really, fantastic! I loved all of it! Every moment, every description, every turn of phrase. (And now I know, I am forever a Faolin/Arya shipper now.) Really just beautiful. Your descprtions are lovely, and your prose enchanting. Faolin's song and your translations were awesome! I absolutely loved the way your tied the flower and the story and the title all together. You really brought the characters and the setting to life! And *sighs* you couldn't have written their love story any better. It was perfect. And oh so wonderful! I must stop now before I run on forever, gushing about how much I loved it. Suffice to say, I will be adding this to my favorites. :D Really, absolutely wonderful! Brilliant writing. Keep it up! I'll be looking forward to reading more of your stories. :)

That was beautiful! I loved the complexity of Arya's character--and the reason for her ways and her grief--as well as the ancient language. That must have taken you hours to work on! I think you have a chance at winning the Back to School challenge.

That was... wow, that was... *is speechless*
The description in this piece was beautiful. That moment when Faolin said "Only truth between us"... and the emotion in this whole piece. Just... ow. My heart.
*tries to gain back some coherency*
Anyway, it felt very true to Arya's character and to Paolini's style of writing, but at the same time I liked it better. CP doesn't do lyrical writing quite as well - I think you did a good job of making it poetic without it being melodramatic or overblown. The Ancient Language part was really cool, too - I saw it on your forum thread before, but still, kudos on doing your fanfiction research. ;)
