Bows to the authors,
This has been quite a lovely story to read. (Drat! The English turn of phrase is rubbing off on me!)
After four days of reading I am sad to see it end.
However on the bright side it is time to take a look at some of your other works =).
Waving Samsas aka Jen turn and makes her way off the stage only to run into Gred and Forge. Erm guys, what are you doing....? Grinning the two red heads pull out thier wands (O.o Not Those! Wow you have a dirty mind) and tap them against thier leg.
It's quite simple you see, Department Q needs a new lab assistant, Thing 1 explained as Thing 2 pulled out a piece of paper. Hearing our plight, a common associate of ours exchanged your IOU's in lieu of a outstanding debt owed to Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes.
Noooooooo! Jen wailed befor disappearing from stage in a puff of smoke.
Turning Fred and George exchanged a delightful grin. Shall we go Thing 1? Why yes Thing 2, lets. disappearing with a small pop.
Far away in a non-disclosed location, Jen ranted at the walls.
Dam, you Plot Bunny's! I'll get you for this just you wait!!

Well what can I say about this story. This one actually haunted me for some time, because I really wanted to finish it. I read some of your stories and they are enjoyable. Out of all the stories that I have read, this one was a unique take after the fifth year and so on. I am not interested in the sixth book that J.K. Rowling tried to do (No offense it was weak of a storyline with some plotholes that needed to be adressed....please don't kill me) And this also surprised me at how the characters changed there so called status quo and make it believable. The plot twists and villains that were intruduced is what kept me reading the story. There are good fan fictions that I have read, and this one is under my favorite list, because of how the story is both complex and unique, and how it manages to explain the issues with war and the economy. Overall the story is really good. I commend you both for doing this and hope that I read something like this sometime in the future. Now if you will excuse me I will be taking a sleeping potion after reading this for nearly three days and take care.

Wow! What a piece of work. I've read your sun series over the last couple of days and hardly couldn't stop. My daughter thought I were glued in front of the computer! :-) With this story you gave me laughter, tears, goosebumps and sometimes the creeps. But this story, despite the fact that I'm usually reading slash, had so much emotion, so much love of the detail - you should be really proud of your work. As I'm myself an author I understand how it is to let a story and the charakters go. It's a bittersweet experience, but all good comes to an end. And what an end it was! I loved your Luna! And I loved your blushing Draco over Lunas comments! *g* I could tell you now, what I liked, but then I would writing until tomorrow. Let's just say that I simply loved both storys and reading it was fun.
Greetings from Germany,
Silver

What a massive, impressive read! I'd be disappointed about finishing it, except I still have plenty more of your work to read through. :D

This was a very well written story. Thankyou for all the time and effort you put into the writing of both the story and the original disclaimers.

Hey! I greatly enjoyed your story (and got grief from my mother over it, staying up way too late). Before I go to sleep, I'd like to ask this question: Whatever happened to the name Allison? I thought Harry and Hermione were going to name their daughter that!
Anyway, Read ya later!

I've spent the last month working my way through Sunset and Sunrise. I'm really impressed with all the thought and effort given to this book. Thanks for sharing your work with us HP ff junkies.

I have just dinished reading through this monster for the 5th or 6th time. It is definately on my "to be re-read" list. Thanks to both of you for all of your hard work in producing this claasic for us.
I also frequently read and re-read all of your other stories, and they are all wonderful.
I got a big box of chocolate creame donuts nere for Bob, and if Alyx doesn't let you have them. then she wound get her life-sized Snape blow-up doll. Regards, Patrick

Overall a good story, if rather dark for my usual tastes.
Some things I didn't like:
* Soul destroying rituals and daggers.
I don't like the concept that souls exist, but can be destroyed, by itself anyway but you were also inconsistent.
You reference captured souls being freed when the dementor leader was killed - but the dagger with 'dementor effect' didn't release anything when it was destroyed.
* the 'conflicting prophecy' plot device.
This was particularly weak. Given how vague the original Trelawney prophecy was it seems odd how certain they were that Voldemort had to become as powerful as Harry before he could be defeated. It would have been a more logical way of delaying things to just go by the Granger prophecies. The vital line in Trelawney's oracle was "~ Dark Lord will mark him as his equal". It's all about what the Dark lord does to Harry, and doesn't really fit the Dark Lord having to get more powerful himself before the final battle.

Huge story that manage to keep a good rythm all the way. It takes some times reading so don't engage if you are too busy beause you won't want to eave it alone until the end.
Lots of thanks to the authors.

Bob & Alyx, thank you for writing this rather insane but wonderful pair of stories. I am rather new to the world of HP fic, having only read the books for the first time last summer, but am quite enjoying it. I spent the last two weeks reading Sunset and Sunrise, forgetting to go to sleep until the early hours of the morning on an almost nightly basis. I'd complain about that, and blame you for it, but it seems as though people have tried that before, and failed. Not only did I love the story itself, but your notes and disclaimers almost seemed to have a mind of their own.
The only character who truly disturbed me was Snape and his use of Cho. War is war, and I've studied war, read other war stories, and watched way too many violent movies, but his perversion caused me to flinch. Not much does that to me these days, thanks to regular stream of cop shows and two violent film courses as an undergraduate.
So, thank you again for giving me something to do with what is obviously too much time on my hands. My boyfriend has been away for the last week, and in that time finished these two stories, although I did start them a couple of days before he left.
Why didn't you fix Harry's leg? How dare you leave a main character blemished at the end of a fic! Don't you know that super-Harry = invincible?
I hope my sarcasm was recognizable.

hey, this is really good! at first i thought it was going to be long and annoying (plus im so not a h/hr fan) and then i turned round and thought 'wow!' i was also almost more interested in the notes - i agree with practically all of your pet peeves except the chapter length thing. i reckon, if done deliberately, different chapter lengths can affect the mood in the same way we use different sentence lengths.
if you wanted another SoB you could always use 'solstice', but i'm not sure what you'd write. and i thought the first potter daughter was going to be called alison for that girl who died. but, really, i loved it. =)
(i'm not sure that review made sense)
(on the other hand, i think it made more sense than bob)
