I have to admit this fic scared me at first! I was like, who? But then I got brave and tried it. I'm really glad I did. I am such a sucker for historical fiction, and this hits that sweet spot wonderfully. I am totally sucked into the background with the USSR falling apart and Martin's split identity between being Polish and Russian. All the characters are really coming to life--I can't wait to see what's going to happen next. Sometimes I've gotten so into a chapter, and then a part with The Reporter will come up and I'll have to switch my brain back to remember what's going on. I forget that the story is from Her point-of-view! But that's not bad, I just get so carried away reading the story. You've really got me hooked on this and I look forward to reading what's to come next. This last chapter gave me some ideas where this might go, and I'm anxious to see if my theories pan out. This is really well written and well done and I'm so glad I finally gave it a shot. Can't wait for more!
