Name: maximumtrouble10 reviewed Chapter 2 on Sep 03, 2010 06:08 am

So, I saw (depressingly) that none of your most recent chapters had a review (which they undoubtedly deserve) so prepare for three reviews from me :)

With regard to the "Places", I think it's really interesting how some (like the Pureblood Regency Ball and Zenobia's art gallery and Malfoy Chambers) seem to warp time, and mostly seems to be correlated with the influence of the Immortals, so maybe Loki or some other immortal being has something to do with the events at the ball? Also, for some reason, the Crystal Palace seems like one of the other places where time and space are distorted (even though you haven't mentioned it yet :) ). Especially because it might be less difficult to carefully match pureblood wizards and their companions if the there are a lot of various companions (like from different times!!). Speaking of companions, I still believe that Ginny (as Marie) WAS Draco's companion and that created the bond between them and that's why Draco's rejection saying that he "didn't need her because she wasn't pure" came the closest to breaking the bond. Maybe?? And Loki is definitely responsible for changes in time--even the promise he made to Ginny implies that he would only not interfere in her future, but nothing about her PAST. The question is WHY does Loki have such a vested interest in Ginny and Draco? Maybe he needs their relationship to help the wizarding world "evolve" (or at least benefit himself in some way)?

I can't wait to see the contents of the crate, and for some reason, I'm really happy about the Malfoy dragon Invictus :)

On to the next chapter!!! :)

Author's Response: Thank you SO much! I love seeing that a reader really, really thought about this. (I know that other readers did too... it's just that maxtr10 wrote LONG reviews... but y'all are all loved... ;)

Anyway, I do think that putting things in categories (like Places) helps to understand how they might be linked. Sometimes, I had to walk a very thin line between making everything clear and not revealing too much. ;) I'm working on another version of the Guide that's just a LITTLE bit different (The Expanded Edition), and that one is just for me. It reveals too much.
