I thought - for the tiniest of moments - that you were going to let this one have a happy ending.
But, at least you know how to write a good tear-jerker.
To be honest, so much happened in the closing chapter, that it felt a little rushed. The emotional aspect might have sunk in even deeper if you'd split the ending into two chapters. But I know the feeling of just wanting to be DONE with a story that's lingered for a while. If that's the case here, I'm not going to argue. *g*
In any case, I'm looking forward to the next story you decide to take on.

That's so horrible, the only thing she had good going in her life perished trying to save her! Ugh, I hate sad endings, but it what happens in reality.

"And the Devil Walked" *g* I still think that's a good title!
Ah - the inevitable night spent with Will. Your new summary has me worried. It sounds like Sibyl's going to marry someone else. Poor Sibyl. Poor Will. He's one of my favorite characters that you've created.
Sorry this review has taken so long. Between working, writing and my power being off for 36 hours over the Thanksgiving weekend, I haven't had much time for R&Ring.

Eew goody, a passionate sex scene!...not. Ugh, I hate reading those cuz i feel so guilty once i have. I know i could just skip over it but as u are, u have to read some parts to see if it has ended yet and then u just end up reading the whole thing. ARG! thanks for making me feel like i have sinned, which i have.

I know, I haven't read that much, but I feel obligated to review in case I forget anything :-P. I think this story is one of the best I've read on this site. The sentences and descriptive adjectives, as well as the way you can put all sorts of information into one concise sentence, is a feat to be admired! Also, you use the language and expressions of the times so well, it really draws the reader in. I feel like I can relate to Sibyl, and I like the way you subtly have her relate herself to Joyce, another sister in the shadows. The character Will is definitely my favorite male character of all the stories I've read. This tale is tastefully woven, non of that unneccesary language and suggestive feelings and dialoge that I seem to find everywhere - this story is full of meaning and keeps with the plot, allowing characters to develop beyond shallow hormonal growth. What an awesome story!

"The devil walked in England"
*
Oh. That give me shivers. Would make a good chapter title, no?
*
I'm glad you've updated. I'm probably going to have to go back and re-read some of the earlier chapters now, so I can remember what exactly is going on. But, I am not one to be chiding anybody on updating. As of late, I've been pretty bad at it
*
I'm sorry to see Will going through post-traumatic shock syndrome, or whatever it is. But, it's completely understandable in his circumstances. I wonder if he'll ever be able to speak of the war.
*
And the plague hits. For some reason, it seems like we're watching it from a distance instead of getting all the blood and gore of it. But you do talk about the blood and gore, so I don't know why I got that impression. Also, I'm not sure how to fix it, so it's probably pretty lousy of me to mention it. It does get more real as the chapter goes on and (Portia, is it?) discovers it.
*
I would not want to be in Sibyl's shoes - choosing whether to help a friend or abandon her to save herself. That's a tough choice, and I know it's one that had to be made a lot in those times. (Is it any wonder most people thought the world was coming to an end then?)
*
And, yay! Another mention of Edward, Prince of Wales! If you'd only sneak something in about his little brother John, I'd be quite happy. lol.

Yay, home at Windsor Castle with the royal family. And Sibyl's crazy enough about Will to still think about him while the dashing Black Prince is in the room. She must have it bad. *g*

I'm glad to see you're writing again. I wasn't sure if you really meant to continue with this story or not, but I'm glad that you are.

Ah. The plague is in France and Will's going there... and he's going to be in a battle too.
*
I like him too much for this to be happening.
*
I think I like him because he is such an anti-hero, if you'll forgive the term. He's handsome, but not noble. Friendly, not possessive.
*
And yet he has that passionate side too. (I loved the goodbye kiss with everyone all around!)
*
He's real. Not exactly the guy next door, but not one of those rogue types that only exists in the trashy romance novels I've been reading too many of lately.
