I first read this story on the uber Willow/Tara website, and i'm so glad I re-found this story on this forum, with a few extra chapters! I was so happy...until I realised it is still incomplete. I remember reading it in one go and then going ASDFHEFGIJ when there was no more left to read. This story has been such a great journey, it's a well-told epic tale with just the right amounts of suspense, action, intrigue, etc, imho. Personally i really like the dark fantasy setting and atmosphere you've created, although it probably might be too slow/dark/un-romantic/painful for some. I like this genre so hehe.
The only nitpick I have with this story is that we don't really see much of Willow and Tara's characters and personalities as seen in the tv show in this fic, like, they could just be random protagonists in another random (but well-written!) fantasy story. Though I guess some variations must be expected, seeing as how the setting of this fic is so vastly different from btvs. Anyway, that's not to say I didn't enjoy the characters. Tara/Raven is definitely intriguing to me (I want to know what happened to her so baaaad).
I really really hope this will continue to be updated though it's probably unlikely to happen. Leaving us hanging with those evil vicious cliffhangers is positively cruel. The previous reviewer mentioned something about publishing this story. Even if there might not be updates anymore, I'd be really interested to know if it's true and if/when it will be published.
Also, I've got interested in your other fic Homewrecker. I can't seem to find it anywhere, not even in this forum :(. I would love to give that a try too.
Anyway, thank you for all the effort put into this story, I really really enjoyed it (yeah I know, mentioned already, mentioned again for emphasis).
