I just finished reading this in two sittings, since I had to sleep. Now I soon have to go eat something. But I just had to post a comment on how good parts of this is.

The art is very good, the quality of the scanlations I read had low quality scans though, but the quality still showed very well.

The story is this manga's strong suit. You might see something coming, but you aren't certain and some small thing totally bothers you that you missed in your guess. But knowing largely what will happen means it is logical, a good thing. Some parts of the story I found bland or unbelievable, that is what drags the score down to a 9 from a 10, but generally it held a very high quality.

Then you have the chars, it was a long time since I had such a rollercoaster ride in emotions from manga. And these chars is the reason, one truly feels for them and wants to know what happens next.

Ahh I am simply to touched to write well, just read it and find out yourself.

It's a beautiful story. Nicely told, although there are alot of characters. I think what would have made it better if the character was introduced to us before it came into a scene. It's very complicated because of all the politics, but other than that it's a fabulous read. I especially loved the politics and the romances that occured. It depicts nicely how life was like back then. I should say, it will end at 27 volumes I believe. Only 2 more volumes? :)

This manhwa is wonderful. I recommend for all that like a riper history.

The art in this manga is very lovely and the artists has a sense of imagination for fashionable wear, their dresses are just so amazing. The plot tends to be a bit melodrama at times, but it is intriguing to see the relationships develops between the characters. Too much stuff going on for me to grasp fully and at times the manga gets a bit boring. A great read if you are looking for a novel-like political romance story.

The story is captivating, the characters interesting, both politics and romance aspects are well done, and the drawings beautiful. The technical military aspects are naive to the extreme, but don't distract too much.

I'm loving almost every moment and detail about this superly long manga, the political issues are just sometimes.. boring. otherwise, it's a lovely read

too much sadness in the story. I wonder why the authors enjoy it very much. I like the part when Scotty Tore and Rara were arguing and saying bad words, while the author had set them to love each other.
But I salute for the beauty of the pictures. They are great! Somehow I still hope that the story about Hiroic Vaida and Preiya Pyordova will be much more better and happy ending! And PLEASE, don't terminate the romance story between Eshilde and Leo. Please?

Very politic-ish indeed ^^ read it til the 17th book I think ...the story plot with all the politics are quite confusing, and the story flow is a bit awkward cos in the end it kinda change focus (shouldnt put spoiler here) but the drawing is quite pretty and the love stories are interesting :)

Lovely and intricate art (even more so than your typical Korean manwha)! The plot seems pretty interesting so far too, seems to be very political based ^o^
