Reviews for The Oligarchy
RubyTheBookworm chapter 1 . 10/14/2019
Ohhh, I study A Doll's House for English Lit, so this is interesting
CharlieBoneFan chapter 23 . 7/24/2019
Nice job!
ArtemisBare chapter 23 . 1/16/2017
An interesting fic. I felt like it didn't flow as smoothly as some of your other stories but blame that on trying to work within the confines of a world you didn't make. Still it was fascinating and I dug it!

What's going on?
Why does Christine's mother refer to her as "some kind of wicked spirit", and WHY doesn't she want anyone to notice Christine's eyes?
Rupert Bear chapter 23 . 7/5/2013
This story is unique and different from your other works, it took me a while to read but I finally finished it. It's complex and well written. Thank you for sharing the story.
Bergamotte chapter 23 . 2/25/2013
BV, you're a deep thinker. I enjoyed this story about a people who named and claimed their own destiny. Thanks for writing it.
Bergamotte chapter 10 . 2/25/2013
I'm finding this work so interesting! The approach is so very different from BV's other books, yet Erik and Christine are recognizable and equally dear.

Jesus, this was amazing. I read this in one sitting. I am so utterly intrigued with this whole idea - reminds me of 'Handmaiden's Tale' by Margaret Atwood which I'm sure you've read. The way you've established the characters is absolutely superb and quite close to the original casts set of Leroux. Raoul is still ultimately a good guy and in the end, he does the right thing, and Erik is still being the rebel, for all the right reasons in all the wrong ways. I adore the way Christine adapts and develops over the course of 23 chapters - far more realistic than having her moan and stay the same the whole time. In the end, all the characters - especially Elijah - are people, not just characters. I think that's one of the hardest things to do, particularly in FF, so hats off to you!
I can't actually think straight right now, because I'm still blown over by how awesome this was. When I do though, I'll be sure to drop you a far longer PM.

Oh. My. Gosh. I LOVE this! This has got to be one of the most original spins on POTO I've ever found! Really, this is brilliant, and very well done! This story is proof of how imaginative you are, and I just wanna say, Bravo!

like your story "Share Paradise" I really enjoyed this one. A different plot, almost similar characters. Really love how they built as each chapter passed.
southernwulf chapter 17 . 12/22/2010
I really enjoy reading your work. How well you describe the interaction between characters, so succinctly.
hilarity.com chapter 23 . 10/16/2010
Beautiful story! Captivated me from the very start, and I love your writing style; so distinctive :)
phantoxicant chapter 13 . 7/17/2010
Excellent chapter!

I just didn't understand her brother asking 'what had she done?' Trying to deter him from shooting Raoul?
phantoxicant chapter 10 . 7/16/2010
Forgive me.

The woman's had the best sex of her life (with ERIK!) and she wants to cry?

WHY?
phantoxicant chapter 7 . 7/15/2010
It's hard to capture my attention without Erik. The depictions of Christine and Raoul in this story are kind of milquetoasty without much depth and Philippe is just a completely unsympathetic brute. But it has gotten more compelling with Clara's death.

And I have a feeling the absence of my main man is about to change.

I look forward to reading on.
