First of all, I must say thanks you for the good time you 2 provide us. This is my firts review even if I follow your storie since Dumbledore's Army on ff.net . I was always looking forward to the next update. Since english isn't my fisrt language and I was able to follow the whole way, then your writting must be pretty good.

Thanks you again and see you on your next storie.

By the way, in Arial 15 the whole storie take 2102 pages and got a little over 627 000 words.

First of all, I would like to say that even though I didn't start reading until a few chapters ago (yes it took me a long time to catch up) I loved this story and the prequel. I love the characterizations. And just so you know, while I didn't print it out, I did move both this story and Sunset over to word so I could read off line. Sunset ended up 814 pages and Sunrise ended up... (drum roll please) 1665 pages. Congratulations. I've written novels that are barely a fraction of that.

Dear Bob and Alex,

Congratulations! I have really enjoyed the Sun series. Very nice work! Thank you for providing me with some stress relief (although, with some of those cliffhangers, I think my stress level went up!). What a great series!!!

What a long and bumpy road it was, but you are right. All things must come to an end, and this was the perfect spot for it.

Bob, Alex, Thanks for shareing one rip roaring tale, one that easily could have been written by J.R. herself.

Oh, and good luck on whatever project you tackle next.

I have followed this from when it was first started in Sunset - it's been a long journey, and a good one.

I commend you for the work you have put into this series, and I look forward to reading more of what you write.

You both are an inspiration - keep it up. :)

I've been an avid follower of this series, as it's the kind of tale one would wish Jk Rowling had done. A wonderful mix of World war II and magic mixed together..truly marvelous. While I'm sorry to see it end, I will look forward to more well thought out and extremely provacative stories in the future. Bravo!

First of all, I absolutely loved this story. I have also loved your earlier works, but agree with your assessment of them.

Now, that being said, you asked about page length. well, if this final chapter is any indication, i can tell you this much -- if the font size for Times New Roman is 16, it is 70 pages long, for 12 it is 47..

My, my you two are wordy (grins)

can't wait until the next great adventure takes place.

Hi there

A delurking here :P . Well not exactly I love the Sunrise series from the very beginning back in FFnet, and follow religiously because you are incredible. In your author notes you want to know if someone printed the series, well I did: Sunset has 780 pages +/- in Tahoma 10 and Sunrise has 687 pages in the same font.
So both of you can be consider best selling authors!! :) . Even though I haven't review a lot I want to said thank you for your hard work and for sharing this incredible books with all of us. I can only hope that you keep sharing it and delight us with such good writing as you always do . I can hardly wait for the next adventure, until then keep safe.

Ana

wow.
over a million words? that's like, the most largest fanfic ever! well, that i know of...
and while is length certainly is part of why i like it so much, of course i think the story is at the top quality-wise as well.
one of my favourites!... dunno what else i can say now... it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside to see you have planned an x-men crossover... haven't a single really good one of these, and the prospect of you two doing one really is comforting, now that the sun series is done... well thank you very much for putting all that time in this, and good luck with other projects!

Bob,
I have saved a copy using msworks. Using a 1" top/bottom margin and a .7 inch rt/lt margin it comes to 1532 pages, 7+ mb file size and over 625,000 words. But even at that size I consider that its one of the best I've read. David bryant

I am sad to see that the story is finished, but as David Eddings once said in one of his series of novels; the story never REALLY ends... The Brotherhood and all the others will carry on in the universe you created. A universe that is both wonderful and awful. A universe that has had me crying, cheering, laughing and sulking. Your universe hit me fair and square in my heart and soul and I would like to thank you so SO much for sharing such a universe with me...

azureguy86 posted a comment on Thursday 7th June 2007 6:12pm

This was an incredible story, and i'd like to say i can't wait for the next story you come out with. Once again great job and keep them coming.

GREAT ENDING!!! Such a wonderful fic, so sad to see it over but like they say, all good things...

Thank you Bob and Alyx for such an amazing fic! (not to mention Sunset as well!). I really hope you guys write more H/Hr independent harry fics. Have a wonderful post fic afterglow, you've earnt it!!! Truly superb. Thanks again :-)

I figure I'm leaving this comment late enough in this story not to get an author backlash. I'm an avid Harry/Ginny fan and you have done them proud in some of your stories. Yes, I will download this to a CD, as I have your other works. Be it known that if I hear the words "My heart", or "My beloved" again in the next decade, I may scream. Your pairings were ones we would never think of (Drayco and LUNA??) but you made them work, just as you made the story work...lol, even for a Harry/Ginny shipper (who the hell thought UP that term?)

diablos_el_swave posted a comment on Thursday 7th June 2007 4:58pm

Well, I have to say, it's been a journey and a half. This is actually the only story I've followed. I've been reading since early sunset, and have continued to be more and more impressed with each chapter. It's so amazing how you can go from like a two house setting in the beginning and go to a world scale, and mannage to not lose any of the detail. I have to bow down not only to your impressive uses of imagery, (I can't spell worth crap, just a heads up) but the way it's impossible not to SEE the action unfolding. As for the small amount of reviews I have left throughout, all i can say is sorry. It's hard to write these at three a.m. which is normally when i get done reading your updates. Anyhoo, I'm starting to rant, so i guess in closing; thank you for this amazing journey, and i will continue to watch this site vigilantly, and anything posted here, i promise to read. I'm curious about this xmen thing you have going on :P Oh, and on a side note... Alyx, don't you DARE make those disclaimers a single message for all. They're almost as exciting as the story.

Bill.

A great wrap to a grand adventure. Thanks so much all of your work on this--from characterization and imagery to detail of interaction amongst all of the various pieces of your tale, the effort that you put into it really shows. I've never read your earlier tales as H/G has never been a premise that has worked for me (with H/HR barely doing so at times) but will make an effort to do so if I can at some point because even though they may be earlier and less polished, I have no doubt that they will be much better than 95% of everything else out there as this has certainly been better than 99% of the things I've read.
Thanks again for your work on this, I will certainly be looking forward to whatever comes next.
Best in all things,
Matt
