FanFiction.net reviews
Author: MothBanquet-
-This is something truly rare - extremely well written, the story is engaging and wonderfully told. Your original content is both intriguing and believable (within the context of ME of course) and your story has plenty of pace without rushing through the plot.Well done, I'm thoroughly enjoying the read and I look forward to the next update!
-Still flowing, sweeping and fascinating. Definitely one of the best on ff.net in my humble opinion, if only for the superb quality of writing.
Author: Inverness-
-Wow, this story just appeared out of nowhere, and with several great chapters too. =)I especially enjoyed the parts featuring Legion. He, Tali, and Garrus are my favorite characters.

-This story is really interesting so far! I can't wait for the next update to see what will happen with the Vangard. Keep up the good work!
Author: Cell hunter-
-I just found the story somehow and I was reading it from the first chapter and I kept in touch since then.I must say this is one of the most amazing ME fanfics I ever read. You managed to deliver the narrative well while staying true to the context of Mass Effect universe.I Liked your own intreptation for Shepard and how you managed to give a good character development for the characters without feeling it's out of character.I should also say that I loved your development for Shep/Tali relationship. Tali is my favorite LI in [the] Mass Effect series.[redacted to avoid spoilers]I hope you continue for more and I'll keep in touch with you.

Author: Demented Assassin-
-Probably your strongest chapter yet, certainly my favourite so far. Good dialogue, good emotional reactions, good descriptions and brill combat, glad my suggestion came in handy. (Chapter 27: Resolve)
Author: Dio l is l Satan-
-Absolutely brilliant! Can't wait for the next chapter.
Author: Harold_Genhi-
-Very compelling story. It is very well written with very, very minor mistakes that seem to only be in chaper 3, but they were nothing to destroy the glimmer of the writing style, not by a long shot. I hope to read more of this story though Shepard's 'safety' that he is trying to constantly place on Tali is... understandable, but it just feels overdone, but that is simply my own opinion on how Shepard to be and how you have him is unique and exciting. I'll give it five stars for being compelling and emotionally powerful.
Author: RedTracer7-
...I found the proposal scene to be touching, especially Tali's reaction to Shepard using the ancient form of Khelish. It was also interesting to see... [redacted to avoid spoilers]. ...but you presented it nicely.

-I like the amount of detail put into the combat sequences, i look forward to reading more.
Author: Sp4RkyMcG7-
-Can't wait for the next chapter!! This FanFic is looking terrific so far, keep up the great work!!!
-You know by now I'm a bad person to ask these qweschunz[sic], lol. But if you must know, it's the descriptive action and intense violence that keeps me wondering "Oh god oh god what's he gonna do no- OH! Damn didn't see that coming!" but the Romance with Tali is what most sparks my interest, the way you write their lines really fits Shep+Tali's personalities! Keep it up!
Author: Tali0Zorah-
-Very sweet. And that is good sweet and not mussy sweet. I very difficult thing to do. Very impressed with this, well done. (Chapter 24: To Stand on Ceremony)
Author: Commander-Afro-
-I love the description of Khaje, it was so vivid in my mind's eye I was surprised by myself, really makes the chapter "palpable" in a way.
Author: Colonel-Kovalyov-
-I ought to just copy and paste the same reply to all your work: "Bloodly Brilliant."
Author: Ryvaken-
-Absolutely perfect premise. Had to start skimming because it was so sweet I could feel my teeth melt, but for the people who like that sort of thing this is wonderfully cuddly. (Chapter 41: Shore Leave)
Author: Demented Assassin-
-Well as I've said before this is, in my opinion, the best chapter thus far. You really do have a knack for combat writing and here, with a whole chapter dedicated to it, it really shines through. Nice work my friend. (Chapter 39: Khetros Naiva!)
