Reactions and Reviews
This is another in the genre (yes, it's becoming a genre) of fanfic inpired by the GDP series; in this case, a modern setting where Sentinels and Guides are well known (but rare), Sentinels and Guides bond, and Guides are empaths. However the society here is more like ours; with predjudices but not outright oppression; and while Sentinels may be tense and somewhat posessive before other Sentinels, they don't engage in pissing contests. (grin) And they *can* stand working together. I really liked this. This is a story which has caring and angst (and the caring and the angst come sometimes from people you wouldn't expect -- I liked that. Positive, positive.). It is well-told, with the reader kept wondering about what has driven these people, and the backstories come out gradually, not in an info-dump. I liked particularly that this is a story of second chances (and even third chances!). I also liked how the visions and imagery all ended up fitting together, tying together. Oh, and the case in this story was nicely mysterious too! So... what do *you* think? [1]
