Rambling, duplicative, clunky, not much plot. Honestly, a half-decent fanfic writer could have done a better job with this! Is she paid by the letter or something? Or was she just obligated to churn something out to meet a contract? Is there any need to repeat the multi-page mother song or Ayla's list of titles over and over again? I still finished it, though. At least I didn't pay for it.

I just wanted this to be so much better than it was.
