I've been reading through this entire series over the past few days (AO3 says I finished reading the first one on the 10th which...) and I absolutely love it. The changes you've made are believable, and mesh so well with canon, and the way you've change Ma'ar into something with justification is incredible. The whole framework of the conversations is also brilliant to add depth to everything.

I'm not actually finished with this one, it's just that I got to Melody's comment about talking to gods doing Bad things to the inside of one's head and all I could thing of was "This is your brain on gods" like those old PSAs. I'm really liking all of this fallout though and I'm really excited to read what happens next!
