    |  | Outstanding piece.  Well written and well edited. REally gets you into the heads of the characters.  Love to see them back at the pony farm some time. (10/10)

    |  | One of the best futuristic BDSM stories I've encountered. This reads like listening to a cross between Enya and Rammstein. For those unfamiliar with mentioned artists: Enya brings us sweet Celtic new-age tunes, while Rammstein makes you shake a couple of legs and strain yer neck muscles with Industrial Dance Metal...
 Anyway, very well written story.
 JJ (9/10)

    |  | This is one of the best-written and truest psychologically of all the stories on BDSMLibrary, even though it is set in a mythical future time. The author simply uses that as the perfect frame to create a consistent world where emotions can develop and bloom. The story is utterly logical and well-paced...oh and did I mention it is very erotic as well? (10/10)

    |  | A truly excellent and erotic story. This writer has talent but does need to watch the small typos that can be jarring to the reader. I am eager to ready more of Diana's work.  (10/10)

    |  | Original and interesting plot, excellent and imaginative characterisation - Very well written - a very fine piece of work. This is as good as some of the very best by published authors in the genre IMO. (10/10)
