awesome and overwhelmingly outstanding! I love all the ramifications and details you lovingly thought out in this AU.
I really liked your OC Sobol--I remember her voice from Daedalus Variations and you've fleshed her out beautifully. I like that she's not precisely sympathetic, but that we can see and emphasize with her POV (and her sense of duty!) anyway, and she's still admirable. Difficult character to create, but you did it splendidly.
Jeannie was amazing, and enough like our Jeannie to be utterly recognizable, but different enough to "feel" AU.
I liked the creation of the dragons, especially their mental processes--intelligent, but with poor impulse control and subject to their emotional urges. I loved how it explained their utter willingness to do rash and very risky things. Their physical transformation was very icky, but viscerally and compellingly written (I know you couldn't talk me into becoming a dragon without a darned compelling reason!).
And Kawalsky! What can I say? That was an EXCELLENT gift all by itself, Santa!
(I tip my elf-hat your way. I believe I know who you are & this is your typically excellent work!)
