Aww, it's finally over... That's too sad... This is, and always will be one of my favourite stories. Really love how you guys fleshed out the characters, making them seem real enough to touch. Makes the canon seem like (unfortunately enough) a very carelessly thought out story. Keep up the good work, guys!!!
P.S. I skipped the military stuff cause I couldn't understand it. And some of the other parts, too. Sorry! (looks around frantically, then runs away. Far, far away.)

just finished this big story and just wanted to say thank you for a few nice hours and a some good laughs. Reading something like this I can just shake my head again over the scrap JKR put us through with B6 & 7. Keep up your awesome work.

Well I'm not the man for reviews but this story kept me entertained long enough to give you guys one :)
I stumbled upon this series while browsing the FFA site and I must say that this is one of the best AU-fics I've ever read. Since I don't like the whole horcruxes storyline I'm always searching for other post-Ootp stories that are a bit more original. I enjoyed the relationships as they are all very believable and not only centered on Harry and his girl. Most of the time I'm not a H/Hr fan as most of those fics bash Ginny and I kind of like her as a character (+ the whole ginslut thing is highly unbelievable as lame as you can get)
Anyway since I'm ranting I'll wrap this up with one more thumbs up and I'll be looking forward to reading more of your work.

Awesome.
simply awesome.
A very complex story- but that's what makes the whole thing seem alive.
reading in english is a bit hard for me- but for storys of that kind i'm doing it.
greetings

The end of SoB. In the last year I've read so much HPFF that when I read anything else, I keep expecting HP charactors and cleches... but this series stands out. Thank you so much.

This is the Harry Potter story I always wanted to read. Thanks.

Wow! Wow! and another WOW! for good measure. I just finished readin the Sunset/Sunrise stories and they are just pheonominal. I just can't find the words to tell you how much I enjoyed and appreciated all your hard work and very fine craftmanship in creating these two stories. Thank you.

What can I say? I've read this story time and time again and each time I'm left as speechless as the time before. It was an epic story and truly one of the best Harry Potter fanfictions I have ever read, even surpassing the real Harry Potter ending, in my opinion.
I loved the narrating of it and I respect the messages you have conveyed. One of your most impressive and oustanding feats with this story is how you've managed to make everyone seem so human in your tale. You've written about characters experiencing war, death, love, friendship, betrayal and everything else that people have to face in varying degrees in the real world while coming out stronger because of it. I love the depth you've managed to portray as well. The characters and a portion of their personalities were already there but you managed to expound, amplify and make them into believable characters. People you might expect to meet walking down the street. Alright, maybe not while walking down the street, but you get my point:p
Fabulous work! You've given me a complete new perspective of Harry Potter and his friends and I can only thank you for the hours of enjoyment you've given me. It is, after all, not everyday one stumbles upon something that captures one's attention completely and utterly like this piece of work has done! Thank you!

I'm not sure if I just missed it or was too sleepy and mixed up details but I saw here in the Epi that HP/HG named their girl "Water Lily". Didn't they discuss in a previous chapter that they'd name a daughter after that Creevey girl who died saving harry during the final battle?
Great story though. 2nd time reading through it and it still rivets me to my screen. And yes, riveting one's self to an LCD is as painful as stapling it to your head Bob....

Hello,
I found your story on another author's favorites list. I enjoyed "Sunset" and "Sunrise" so much. Thank you for writing!
I realize you stopped doing pet peeves a while back, but I wish to beg your indulgence. "It's" is a contraction meaning "it is"; "its" (no apostrophe) is the possessive form of "it."

I spent probably the last six months plodding off and on through this epic saga, and while it's hardly doing the two of you justice, I at least wanted to send along a quick thank you for all the hard work you put in. As a one-time (failed) fanfic author, I am in deep awe of anyone who can turn out a million-word arc and still keep it cohesive and entertaining, and you accomplished both quite well.
There are so many things I could comment on (my apologies for not doing so months again; I've become a rather lax reviewer in my old age), but I think I most enjoyed watching you build a society all your own in the latter part of Sunset and the early part of this story. That whole process felt very dynamic and alive.
I commend you for your understanding of military affairs and tactics and the deft way you translated them to fit your setting. I also was intrigued by the very central theme ethics and morality played in the story, and of course, I couldn't help breaking down laughing numerous times -- especially when Luna or Amy showed up in the text.
Anyway, again my apologies for not being better about review. And, of course, you have my thanks for all your efforts.

I have finally finished Sunset/Sunrise over Britain; It was a good Super!Harry, which is a sub-genre I'm very wary of.
I have no faults with how you ran the plotlines, but only one MightHaveBeen/WhatIf: What If Harry could have used the similarity magic to kill everyone wearing a death mark? Might be something to consider in a future story or pass to someone else's plot bunny.
Thank you for all the effort you put into this storyline.

I just finished reading both of your Sunrise stories and wanted to tell you guys that I absolutely loved them! I enjoyed your versions much more than HBP and DH! Thank you for taking the time and effort to share your talent with the other HP fanatics in the world. I look forward to reading more of work in the future :)

I only discovered fanfiction about a year ago and have read something like 200 novel length fics. The Sun series is somewhere in the top 5 of those 200. You really should think about getting published... I know I'd buy it ;)

This was a fantastic and rewarding story. I am truly in awe of your creativity and writing skills. I'm currently in the middle of reading your other stories in the Harry Potter universe and I'm sure they'll be equally great. Thank you so much for taking the time to write such an amazing story and sharing it with the rest of us!

This was a seriously brilliant story. I enjoyed every word of it, and while this review is long after the completion, on not really constructive, I just wanted to say thank you for your work. I was starting to despair of finding another good story, and FFA.net seems likely to hold my attention for quite a while to come.
