        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)

        Best-written story I've ever read on this forum. Well-developed plot and characters, interesting psychological interplay between the protagonists. Excellent.  (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)

        Incredible.  A futuristic view of BDSM's role in society in the future that is simply marvelous! (9/10)
