Reactions and Reviews

'Tying Up Loose Ends' struck me as rather pointless.[1]

This is a sequel to The World Turned Upside Down, a two, volume, very long B7 novel that I did not like much. You can comprehend this story without reading the novel, but why bother? Grade: D [2]

A sequel of sorts to Sandy Hall's epic length novel THE WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN. This is really an Avon story; Blake made a deal that Avon would (if he agreed) visit one of the psychostrategists who tampered with him as a child.[3]

The A/N told me I should read the story this is a sequel to before I read it, but I didn't have 'The World Turned Upside Down' readily to hand, I think it's probably quite long, and it wasn't what I was after (i.e. light, loving slash). Anyway, so I didn't know what was happening really, but actually - hey, I liked this too, and it's very close to being a PGP-as-you-know-that-genre. Avon has to confront a psychostrategist who knows his past, and he does this in a way designed to appeal to me, given the kind of man I think Avon is.[4]
