Bookmarker's Notes
I'm not sure how I can write my own fanfic after reading this. I guess I will have to just not write until plot elements become inspirations then. I had so many ideas, but the author blew me out of the water with his/hers. The author truly is a polymath, writing this with meticulous research and writing ability, incorporating convincing enough scientific knowledge that blends in with history. There are many philosophical debates in this series, and those drive the clashing themes of the story.
Originally I doubted the Control ending, but the author managed to fix it and gave me the closure I sought for (or I would have rioted: give me destroy). The author's explanation and development made Control a plausible choice in the end. Delivered in this way, the author successfully managed to change my viewpoint on Control (fixing relays is an important factor, and major obstacle to destroy, even with Happy Ending in mind). To be honest, it is a Control that turned into a destroy. The author expanded much on Asari culture as well, and I don't think I can envision Asari culture in any other way from now on. The author wrote huge amounts of OCs as well, and wrote their motives convincingly. Again, not sure how I can write my OCs without drawing inspiration (heavily maybe) from this fic.
The author sold me on the triangle relationship even, something I did not anticipate, and was written well, exploring the nuances of the feelings of Shep, Vara, and Liara. The author also answered some of my own guiding questions with regards to differences between asari and human lifespan. The only criticisms I really have about this series is how the author wrote Shep and Liara getting together aspect, but their relationship throughout the rest was a hell of a ride. -

Gotta love ripping into one of my most hated tropes. Just don't understand a single bit. Dumbledore bashing is involved in the process, but the Wrong Boy Who Lived trope itself is so stupid that I will just handwave it. Lily acting like a boss is great.

Summary
Far to the east of Westeros, beyond the Free Cities and smoldering Valyria, beyond even ancient Qarth lies the Golden Empire of Yi-Ti. Richest and greatest of all realms in the known world, this land is a mystery to most in Westeros who only know of it as the edge of civilisation. But there are wonders to be discovered here; from Golden Yin, largest of all cities, to the Jade Lighthouse, guardian of the Godless Gap, to the endless plains of the Great Kitzin, to the towering Five Forts. There are a thousand peoples as well, all with different beliefs and customs waiting to be discovered. There are wonders of science and logic, such as the great Dragon-Lances. And as with any place in the world of Ice and Fire, there are darker things lurking in the shadows.

An interesting entry to a virtually unseen area throughout the ASOIAF. Kudos to the author for fleshing out Yiti, albeit with an intentional biased lense that reflects more of the character's culture and social status.
