Wonderful! I was eagerly checking back to see if you had added another chapter and I'm definitely happy, it was worth the wait! You did a wonderful job. I can't wait to see more again!

Hi! I love, love, LOVE your story Kiss of Fire! I've read it a few times already and I see that you're fixing it up. I love the small changes you've done and I'm checking back everyday to see if you added more chapters. Please add more chapters soon! I can't wait to read it again!

One thing I like about your depiction of the coronation night is that you showed there was real consent. When I read these stories, I see a lot of sexual coercion and what is, essentially, rape, and I find it refreshing that you are showing Miumi/Katara as being strong enough to stand up for herself even when all the societal norms and the inequality of status between her and Zuko tell her that she should be obedient. This is where I want to see the world of fanfiction and clit lit going, and you're one of the ones leading the way - good on you!

Something I've noticed is that Zuko has yet to call Miumi by her name; a reincarnation, in my opinion, is still a slightly different person from the first. What I want to know is if Zuko loves Miumi for who she is, or does he only love her because vestiges of Katara are there?

I eagerly await more!

Wow! What a way to leave the reader. Good lead-in to the next chapter. I like the way the relationship is developing, and even more how Miumi is finding Katara within. When she was in the Hall of Agni my heart kept fluttering - I congratulate you on a splendid job of conveying the atmosphere.

When you switch between perspectives of your characters you put the label "Katara": what about putting "Miumi"? The only reason I bring it up is that it could further emphasize the point when Katara finally comes to the fore. The problem isn't clarity - it's very clear whom you are writing - but in terms of artistic effect would that be more potent?

I really enjoy the Miumi-Kuzon interactions. They are just so sweet! It's heartbreaking how Zuko distances himself from his son, and therefore continues the pattern of Father-Son relationships in his family. You make it very believable. I didn't get to read this story the first time around, so I hope we will get to see the Royal Family growing closer. The way that you use living spaces is a fabulous allegory for the disconnect of the family.

There are some technical things in your writing like a few missed letters in word here and a few incorrect spellings there, but it does not detract from the flow of your writing. It may or may not have been this story - and I can't remember the precise location of the sentence - but every so often I noticed that your syntax shifts for just a sentence before you resume your typical style. Although not incorrect, these moments do throw the reader off a little bit. When I find the sentence that struck me as doing this, I can leave another review.

Thanks for sharing your gift for writing with the world!

Avidly reading and awaiting your next installment! It's a pleasure (and a relief) to find well-written fan fiction. I love the pacing; you're taking the time to build to revelation and I appreciate that. I also love and hate the twist you gave to this story's prequel. I love it for the tale it sets up, and I hate it because as soon as I finished reading I was compelled to skip right past the alternate ending and start on _Kiss of Fire._

Keep posting--and my thanks!

Hey there! I'm really enjoying the revised version of your story. The first time I read this I loved it so much that I find myself coming back to read it over and over again since I discovered it a few years ago. The extensive research you've done to use as reference in your stories make it feel all the more realistic and very worthy of the ATLA universe. By far this and Slow Heat are my favorite Zutara fanfictions - it's like watching a very good asian cinema film and at times it remind me of the Korean drama The Great Queen Seondeok (if you haven't seen it, please watch do, it's a great series); they've inspired me so much that I would love to make a fancomic out of them with your permission. Please keep up the great work - I've notice your writing improves each time you update :)

Btw, will you be writing any Legend of Korra fanfictions soon? If so I would love to see what you can do with that XD

I finally created an account to tell you that I could kiss you for updating this. Y'know. Not to be a total creeper or anything. I'm a huge fan of your work and I only just realized that you wrote Zutara too. I'll do a more detailed review when I'm not all tired and hyper.

Thanks for the updates, they make my week better!

Hurray, updates! :) I like the changes you are working in.

Is this being re-written or something? I remember it being complete last time I read it.
