Great continuation, but unexpected death of Sidney. Overall good theme and expansion of Gemini's possible conflict.

Well...that was one awesome story! :) It was even better than the previous one; I loved it how the scenes unfolded like in a movie. Great job. You should definitely write more! Wow.

I. . .I. . .wow, just. . .wow.

I devoured this story and Soul Splinters One in less time than I could have imagined possible.  The way you toy with the audience, never quite letting us know who's doing what or what's going on until the stage is completely set, kept me reading as did the deeply emotional plot line.

If you're going to do that to us at the end, though, you need to include a character death warning, though.  Syd is my favorite character in the entire Pretender universe, and I kept reading mostly to see what would happen to him.  Killing him off at the very end after everyone else is safe just killed me, though the way in which you did it was beautiful.

All in all, this fanfic touched deeper than I thought any fanfic could.  Kudos to you, your muse, and your committment to the story line.

aww, man.... jarod couldve at least shot lyles leg or something... lol

oh, wow... I forgot lyle liked the woods... good job on incorporating that in the story.

wow!! and here I thought I liked cliffhangers! hehe, good thing u've finished the fic!

Thanks for this fic!!

It was so exciting to read, so stressful, it was so well-done that I felt like I was with them!

It's a great end even if Sydney died.

I hope you will finish the otehr fics. Please!

Tough story to read (and I imagine to write) with all the ups and downs.  Enjoyed it except for the end.  Didn't like Sydney dying.  He deserves a chance to live a Centre-free life too.

Wow what an ending! You kept the suspense up right until the last paragraph. Very well executed.

I don't think I have ever read a story more focused on what is usually "fade to black" because it becomes to violent for the series, but you pull it off remarkably well. It isn't blood gushing everywhere that's the focus, it's the emotional trauma, which gives it many more layers than your average action fic.

Every once in a while it can be a little hard to follow what's actually happening, but I think that's mostly due to the fact that you don't rely on the classic clishe's when describing something. You use a much more vibrant and creative language, so you actually have to pay attention to every word, you can't just skim it. So it's really a good thing.

I think you did a great job describing what kind of pain, both emotional and physical, Lyle can inflict if he is truly given free range. And also how hard it is to recover from such deep trauma. You can't just go home and expect everything to be fine, there are consequences to abuse. You pictured that wonderfully both in Jarod and the clone.

Thank you for an amazing thrill ride down the path of psychological thrillers. An epic is complete.

All I can say is wow.  I just read four chapters straight and you kept me on the edge of my seat(actually I think I was more hovering a meter over my seat for the most part) throughout the whole story. Every time you think it's going to work out, you read the next paragraph and everything is ten times worse than it was five minutes ago.Who lives and who dies? There's what I want to happen, and there is what makes the best story. I'll just leave that up to you.

Love your story and cannot wait for more.

Very well done!  Your story is so suspenseful and full of intrigue.  I like the way it flows, and you keep everything along moving nicely.  Looking forward to the next chapter.

I'm so happy to read the sequel!! Still, there are so unanswered questions!! I'm eager to read more!!

And please :)) don't forget "A winter's tale"

Is that obvious??!! yeah I'm french! I hope there will be snow at Meribel, because this year the weather wasn't very kind to us (for now!) I lives not that far from Meribel, let's say about 300km, more in south!^^ And you, where are you from?

Have great holidays, and have a nice trip in France (don't forget to taste the cheeses ^^) Have fun skiing (I hope not on the rocks by lack of snow^^).

Hope to read you soon!!
