I'm not in the least bit kidding when I say to you that you have me grasping my laptop with a frustrated grimace and yelling 'IS THAT IT?!'.

I LOVE this. I'm so intrigued! Jaim is HILARIOUS! You have a wonderful talent for building worlds and cultures and this is no exception. Will you continue this? Why has Zayven run away? And how will Arya ever see him again? Can I detect just a hint of Game of Thrones? (If there is, you've taken all the good bits, George Martin is a lousy writer).

PLEASE continue this! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!

Charlie!! Thanks a million :) I am not kidding when I tell you that you have made my day -- for several days! Sorry this response is coming a bit late.

I am so glad you like it because I hope to play in this 'verse for awhile longer! Jaim is hilarious, and usually he knows it, too ;)

THANK YOU BUNCHES for your enthusiasm and wonderful wonderful feedback. It really keeps me going -- and that is the answer to question 1. Yes, it is to be continued! Moar letters! Moar bantering! But I can't answer questions 2 and 3 yet. Question 4 - I haven't read Game of Thrones, although I keep wondering why I haven't gotten around to reading/watching it yet. But given its popularity, I feel very complimented. :D

More to come!!

I think the GoT influence was because your Ami is called Arya and because there's an interesting feel of old world mysticism in your fic, which to be honest, is the main thing I love about that GoT. But I find it here! In this fic! With Ami and Zoisite and Jadeite, so it's a million squillion times better!

Did I mention how very much I love the idea of the blue henna on Ami's palm? Because I do! It's beautiful and so wonderfully creative! And the idea of it only being on their palms so the top looks like any ordinary hand? Brilliant!

I am SO excited you're continuing this! *does giddy happy dance*

I love Game of Thrones, so I love the name Arya, and I love your writing, and when you combine these factors, it is clear why I'm head over heels in love with this new verse of yours. Jaim manages to steal the scene even though we only hear his voice in absentia, but I love that you give him one in the first place by using Arya to relate it.

Since I know that there's a second chapter waiting for me, I will now end this measly review here and hurry over there.

Lytton, there is no such thing as measly reviews in my book, especially from you. Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so glad that you like Letters :) Jaim is such a scene-stealer; it must be his revenge for Zacarias getting to be the scene-stealer in the Santa Esperanza verse.

So I have not yet read/watched Game of Thrones, although I hear lots of enthusiastic raving about it. Would you say read the books, watch the show, or do both?

To nobody's surprise, I'm team books. Team books all the way.
