Fellow fujos and fudans, this is a story that belongs in all of our BL bibles! You may be dismayed by the strange names, but Author-tan puts in footnotes for EVERY SINGLE foreign word. You won't feel lost. And she updates EVERY DAY!! It's a gift you will give yourself if you read this story. The characters are complex and well-rounded. The writing is well-done (and english isn't Author-tan's first language!). The pacing is slow and steady, but everything has a reason. The MC and the ML are not only likeable, but you can see how they both compliment each other, which you don't always get! Just because two characters are cool doesn't always mean that they should be in a relationship, but I have a feeling that Author-tan gets that! So far no unnecessary B-couples or yaoi-logic. I dig. I uber dig. If you are crying because you've already read all of MXTX's stuff, or Owl's stuff, come over here and start reading this amazing story!

Technically I would give it a 4.5 (I'm nit picky), but I've really been enjoying this story! 

Although the author does have a few troubles with a bit of spelling and sentence structure, I've found that the dialogue is very animated and engaging. Each character has a distinct personality that comes out as the story progresses. 

There is quite a bit of angst due to the MC's and ML's past, but parts of the story are actually very fluffy due to Snow's naive and kindhearted personality. The ML is sort of like an easily annoyed teenager/tsundere, and clearly has character development to undergo as well.

I also love the detail that has been put into building this world of Celestials and fantastical creatures, many places and the politics of the world that are explained in a way that makes it more than plot convenient backdrop--including the use of magical abilities! True to the genre tags, this story is very much an action, drama, fantasy, character growth story for the MC besides just being a romance.
