*tears in eyes* Oh my God. Poor Severus! When I read about what he lost from the torture, I couldn't help but cry. It's so sad! Why? Why'd you have to do that? You've made me one VERY upset reader, not to mention Severus lover. I realy liked this story and now you've made my cry. I'm going to continue reading now and sulk. *sniffs*

Sorry it's taken me twenty-three chapters to review, but I've been soo tied up in your chapters that I'd just click the 'next' button and keep reading! Your story really is great, and although I haven't looked at it on ff.net, you've probably had it up for awhile. Thus, my review has even less meaning, especially since it's finished. I'm really glad that my friend recomended I read this one, although I guess I'd have gotten around to it eventually. But, seeing as it IS finished, I can read it in between updates from other stories that arn't yet...although I might finish this one tomorrow the way I'm going.
Ok, onto the real review stuff...
I do love how you've managed to keep everyone in character throughout all that's happened so far. And thinking about what happened to Snape again...*heart breaks* I hope that the relationship that's been created between him and Harry continues to grow, it really does both of them good. My only other thought about Severus is that he dosen't seem sarcastic and just plain snarky enough to me, but in the circumstances, especially being the Amazon jungle, it makes sense to not be so horrible to everyone.
I also love your Harry, he's great, especially in those first few chapters when he was helping Micah and his cousin Lily. It was so great to see him stick up for Micah when he was being bullied too, some days in J.K.'s story I could really see him doing that. And although I really love being in Severus' head, it would be interesting to get some of what Harry's thinking...possible sequel? Although that would make the story be extremely overdone, but I would read it!
I also like your new spin on Occlumency. It's fun to see Severus react to 'being' Harry in his memories, and I hadn't imagined it that way, but it's certainly entertaining. I also like using a room or 'maze' type of configuration to sort of trap the looker. It does make sense that it would work better than a solid wall or similar structure.
I also adore this chapter, for no apparent reason other than it's brilliant to see Snape and Dumbledore (Snape especially) yell at Fudge...and for Fudge to reply with that awesome line from MASH. My whole family watches MASH and we own all the DVDs, and I've seen 99.9% of the episodes, and yet I was still unable to make the connection...time for a MASH marathon! But I do love it when authors pull from other sources than just Harry Potter alone; something I hope to master.
Well, I'll update some time soon, probably on the last chapter and maybe on ff.net. But, I just wanted to let you know that it was a good idea to post here too! Good luck with any other projects you've got going on.

I've been thoroughly enjoying this story..so much so that I've sat and read it straight through from chapter 1 to here.. but may I point out just one teeny weeny thing from this chapter?
When Harry says Fudge is nutters.. it should be nuts.. nutters is plural.. as in 'the twins are a pair of nutters'..one person alone is nuts..
sorry.. I know it seems picky.. it's a britpick thing I guess...lol

May I just say, Wow. I wasn't pulled into the istory in the first chapter but was interested enough to continue. I'm SO glad I did. This is magnificent. There are so many things I love about it. Your chapter titles (especially the repeating In the Middle of the Night), the little quotes at the beginning of each chapter, Snape's extremely witty inner dialogue, the progression of your plot, your personifications of Snape, Minerva and Mad-Eye Moody especially. I expected I would review at the end of each chapter but then there was another gem waiting for me and I couldn't stop reading long enough to type some comments! What a gift you have for story telling and what a gift for us to have you share it. Watching and waiting for more, Quinn

Hmmm, I suppose independent Snape would never consider an assistant or apprentice. Great story, but you don't seem to be giving Harry very many brain cells.
I must say I love the scene between Moody and Severus.
Its perfect.
I've probably reread it a dozen times since it was first posted on ff.net and each time I love it more.
I can just see the look on Severus's face when Moody 'clouted' him upside the head. Priceless.
I love this story and I'm thrilled that you posted it here.
Please update soon.

Snape was trapped in a tree with ravenous creatures below. And what does he start thinking about? How he'd like to build a vacation house there. Ha!
*squeel* I've been reading your story on fanfiction.net since the begining and it one of my favorites. I'm thrilled you posted it here. This story is amazing!
