Reactions and Reviews

Another great story. This time even more fun because we have a too bright and too young Sato running rings around Archer. I've gotta love that! Wonderful dialogue and ultimately kind of sad for the old boy. Not that I mind. ;-) [1]

There is a lot of emotion packed into the very short package of this wonderful and very memorable story. This time Nostalgia in "Vox luvenium" unpacks the relationship between Archer and Sato for us to appreciate. The language of the story is clean, spare, and the characterizations and voices ring very true to me. It seemed singularly appropriate that a Sato story features such a sensitive, deft use of language as "Vox luvenium" does. I loved the rich and vivid dialogue between Archer and Sato. Sato's first words to Archer and his recognition of their truth delights. "Vox luvenium" is sometimes painful with those kinds of difficult truths such as the brightness of youth and the assumptions that age dulls. The last words cut with that truth. This is a very well done story featuring a pairing that could be very hard to sell but not in Nostalgia's very capable and sure hands. I loved "Vox luvenium!" [2]

One of my favorite ENT stories this year. I love Hoshi here - she is flip, irreverent and holds her own with Archer very well. It's a story I never get tired of - not only because of the beautiful use of language but also some really wonderful one-liners. [3]

Archer is made out to be a boring old fart in this story, less than ideal in the romance department, but (snicker) somehow it seems appropriate. Torment him some more, nostalgia, you do it so well! [4]
