So WOP, I have just finished a reread of this amazing story ( not so amazing for Annabel).  I had forgotten just how much crap poor Anne has gone through at this point, and I am talking just about story proper and not background stuff. So this is my review of the story. 

     This story can be very hard to read at one time depending just how much you like Cruelty. For me I love your characters (except the parents),. The princesses ( very apt title) are interesting and cool characters (not people).  They really love Poppy, and i even think Annabel to an extent to.  They are extremely toxic and selfish, and narcistic, how they manage to get along is so weird I love it.

     I adore Annabel, poor girl has been through so much and yet she is still trying to fight for herself (or others). It probably doesn't help that the readers are egging the author on.  I love her sheer stubbornness on not giving up.  She also cares even about her captives, and its not Stockholm (proven to not be a thing), its just that she actually cares about people, and that is to be admired.  The fact that she can even wake her self up from the imprinting is awesome.

     So I just reread 39 and 40, and i have to admit you already hinted about Steven and Bitsy earlier being their answer to getting the imprint, but I completely missed it, I thought Leia was talking about some kind of drug. Also yes I had suspected that death of the owner was going to cause the death of the imprinty.  Such a sad and cruel fate and very fitting for giants who really don't care for the tiny population beyond what they can get out of said tiny.

    So, that being said as you have said there is much we don't see of this world simply because Annabel doesn't get out much ( dang introverts :P) these days. So I think I have determined though somethings, and that being the wider population is at best indifferent to tinies, to out right hostile, to genocidal.  Early in the story at the funeral you showed how tinies were treated in there one family and to be frank  I don't know how that one boy lived long enough to get to the funeral, i mean his child sister dropped him in the toilet for crying out loud and his mother just shrugged it off, The less said about the Princesses screwing with him and him making an idiot out of himself the better, ( seriously that scene showed that boy has no brains what so ever).  The mother left a Shrinky with a child, that to me shows either complete apathy to your child or something in you hoping something happens.  Plus with what Naomi's mother said, i think shrinkies and tinnies are a genocide waiting to happen and it wont take much to make it happen.

     So i am now ready for THE Backstory that You have been teasing since what chapter 9 I think, maybe even sooner.  I am very ready for it. I mean I have figured out some bare bones stuff, some of it because you wrote about it, others from reading between the lines.  I think what I am most interested in is the mother, you teased us about her and any info about her being very hard to get, so yes i am very interested in her, we no what happened in high school and the town for the most part,  It was ugly and cruel, honestly Zoey might actually be worse for Annabel then the 4 and that takes some doing, ( I know Annabel said that once, i wonder if she still thinks that).  

     Now for the resistance.  They are effective, and very cold ( need to be in their situation).  The fact that a girl that is only what 19, 20 says something about either how many tinies are involved or how good she is. Also I think Beth is going to make a mistake regarding Annabel. I think the former commander was right she didn't want to know, and i think she will be one more person to abandon her, this time twice over, though first time not to be blamed.  I like Byte, but I don't think he realizes just how broken Annabel is and becoming worse.  I cant wait to see (rather hope to see) the resistance actually fight BSA.  Honestly I don't know if the BSA can be broken at least not this generation, which is what this fight is.  This is a long term war and the resistance will be found out eventually.  I cant wait to see the reaction from the founders (hopefully while they are dying), that tinies can actually hurt them and be a very real threat.  Also good on Annabel for fighting the imprinting on the most important part and not revealing the resistances existence, I have said before Poppy is a very real threat and they got lucky.

     Good on you for ending a story thread about the Duforts, its not the happiest ending but at least they are alive.  I was very worried for Camila there for a minute and good on Annabel for sacrificing a dead man to save them (honestly fuck that teacher, he deserved that and worse in my opinion).  

     I am so ready for two people to make a reappearance, Zoey and Cloe (huh there names rhyme …. hmm author you pulling something here).  Both will fight for Annabel in a way I think that nobody is prepared for, ( i could be wrong, though) in there own way they each have shown to be protective, or possessive of Annabel and they will rival the 4 I hope.  

     THese are my thoughts on this amazing story, ( seriously this is  my number one story in this genre and size play, and in my top ten of favorite stories.  I do have 2 criticisms though, both are tied together I think.  One is you tease a little to much on certain things, like Annas backstory and the blessed blood and what exactly it means, with out follow through.  The other is and take this with a grain of salt, the time frame on updates can be very long and frustrating some times, ( i do understand Life takes precedence).  This is free and awesome, I do miss you commenting on reviews and your thoughts.  It did help with the long weight between chapters, again I understand life takes precedence. 

     So one last thing I am now thinking what happened way back when is that tinies are natural and have always been around but in hiding, but like happens tines intermixed with bigs at some point and that's where HDD came from, so in a way the BSA is right about them not being fully human, but that doesn't justify there actions in any shape or form.

     One more thing, if this was any other genre i would say she needs to end up in the resistance, but this is size, and i think she needs to to be with one of the only people that hasn't abandoned her, ( so far) and that is Cloe, a tiny needs a big, and a big needs a tiny, just how  I see things.  To be honest though I should be satisfied with what ever ending you do.  I have faith in you to write this story. Also I almost feel sorry for Oliver if Cloe ever finds out what he did ( he was wrong to sell it, he should have either deleted or kept it, but I can forgive him for it, not sure Cloe will be as understanding).

     SO these are my thoughts on this story.  See you next time.

great chapters! i didn't see this coming

I don't think we've ever seen the foursome interact with Anna WHILST she was dealing with her inner demon, I am shocked we haven't had an episode like this before given how they daunt over her. I'm still looking forward to Zoey saving the day at some point and reclaiming her property.

The BSA can't stop fate.

----

Poppy's going full on Freddy these days tormenting our poor Anna in her dreams seemingly going in for the kill. Anna's fought off a megaton of crap since they've found her so I have no doubt she'll overcome this but this is the most forceful we've ever seen her inner kinkster since I've been reading the story.

---

God damn you brought the father into this.

Poor Anna almost had a way out...well she still kind of does if she automatically ends herself whenever possible messing up their plans etc...but I can't see her risking her father or her friends to try such a scenario.

---

If Anna accidentally started an uprising that would force the Foursome to help start something that would eat the BSA from the inside out then kudos to her. She's been under the eightball for so long it would nice to see her get such a win even if it was just enough to escape or at least stop the main Foursome branch.

---

The seeds have been sown wether Anna gets the outcome she hoped for or not.

----

I know the Foursome are evil and very, very violent...

But that being said I feel like I've never wanted to be Anna more than everything leading up to during the sock sorting scene. Just some incredibly cruel and humiliating treatment of a tiny whether she deserved it or not.

Hopefully Poppy doesn't mess up Anna's humanity too much whilst she loose.

---

Well shit...

It seems Anna's slight victory is short lived and may have gotten poor Nell beaten by a vengeful sister but I think Nell would understand given the circumstances at play. I don't know how Anna will get out of this but she's a resourceful one especially after all she's been through.

---

Poor Anna is slowly losing her grip on her sanity the more she stays with the Foursome. Steven is trying his best but it might take a lot more than he can offer to keep her from going off the deep end entirely.

---

A definite curveball here but if anyone can figure out how to get her out of there it would be Byte. Not sure his views on Steven who seems to be nothing but helpful but who knows if he is either in it for his own survival or currently in the crosshairs of the Foursome without knowing it.

Been a while without any updates. I know it’s not much help for anything, but I hope everything is fine and you are alright.

Author's Response:

Hey Mr in A Suit,

Sorry for the long absence! I'll use your comment to update everyone. 

I'm so thankful for everyone's well wishes! It's much appreciated. I'll be finished drafting this most recent chapter either tonight or tomorrow night. I'm aiming to edit/upload this weekend. It'll probably be the longest chapter yet, I think. It's been so long since I've last uploaded, I didn't want to leave on a cliff hanger (at least that specific cliffhanger) as I didn't think it would be fair. As a reminder this isn't the "jumping the shark chapter" (despite what happens in this one, lol) that's the upcoming chapter. 

As always, I'm glad to see everyone is still enjoying this story after all this time--your comments truly do keep me going. 

Thanks again, people!

(also, if I ever write another story on this site, I'll make sure it's completely finished first, hahaha)

--WOP

Another incredible chapter. Thank you. And so pleased to see you're back.

Can't wait to read on, hoping for an 'aware' meeting of Zoey & Poppy - the latter to feel smaller than ever!

Poppy is coming hard for our young heroine, the fight is getting near the end it seems unless she has a last second hail mary in her playbook. I still think Neil might be that Hail Mary despite her missteps as she is the only one she's might bigger than her since that fateful night that seems to respect/care for her as more of a person and not just a pet.

----

Woah an abrupt --- there...

Makes me wonder if somebody is kidnapping poor Bella against her will again but it seems rather risky given its in one of the Foursome's home and the person appears to be full sized.

---

Well hell this turned terrifying fast..

Incredible work via Naomi to get this all set up for Bella to face her fears...well just this one not the several others since she met the foursome. I fully expect something really horrible to be in the lesson plan for Mr. Acker but at least Bella will get a little piece of mind...and likely more nightmares on top of it.

---

A lot to unpack here...

For once Naomi WASN'T the true monster here, a rare showing for anyone from the Foursome with what we've learned about them. Bella got a little bit of justice in her bleak world so it was a minor win even if she had to witness somebody's flesh dripping off their face to achieve it. 

I'm not sure if she'll find closure from this but in this one instance horribleness actually benefited the world of the BSA instead of just them. It was brutal but removing him from the table brings a lot of people closure if they will never know it and saves a lot of people from falling into his trap.

----

Now there's the haunting nightmares I was expecting!

At least it wasn't Naomi encouraging Chloe to eat her or Chloe outright eating her so a win for the subconscious of our heroine. I like to think if she ever escapes this she will never want to step foot in another classroom for as long as possible.

---

A heartwarming moment with Naomi, I'm beginning to think with better parents the foursome might have ended up a lot better off.

Naomi's anger at least comes from a place of understanding as people were dicks to her and her mother long before they possibly started the BSA thus we understand why she is as frightening as she is to outsiders. Like the others this was a heartwarming look into the underside of the monsters Bella has been forced to bare witness to over the past few months.

---

Her past becoming known?

Does this mean the Foursome will face their toughest task yet in taking all the all mighty Step Goddess?

Stay tuned!

So, first off welcome back, I have greatly missed this story.  Still is an awesome story and i really want to see how this ends ( I am so torn on which ending i want other then i dont want a full imprint, but do i want her to end with Cloe( good ending) or girls ( ranging from ok to bad to very bad (leah)).

   Yea any pity I had for the teacher went by by when He tried to shift the blame.  THat was bullshit and honestly I think he was lucky to die, I would rather die then live under Sanos oh so gentle and caring ( sarcasm) hands.  

    NOw that we are done with the individual chapters I rank as the Girls coming out ahead in this depraved race is Naomi, Molly, Harper, Leah, Nell.  Nell had them all beat right up until the end, Sorry girl but yea you really arent any better just better as pretending to be human.

    I am so ready for the back story of Anna, you have teased it now for years and I am so ready for it. 

See you next time.

Goddamit themore I hear about Annabelle’s one good relationship, that being her friendship with Chloe, the more I want them to be the ones who get together in the end, not romantically but ya know, as the person who takes care of Annabelle due to her size.

Nem sei por onde começar... sua história é incrível! simplesmente um dos melhores do site! Conheci ela depois de alguns capítulos já terem sido publicados e pude ver sua evolução com fluidez!

Eu realmente espero ver o resultado desta magnífica história. Não consigo imaginar qual das muitas possibilidades acontecerá com Annabelle, mas se posso expressar minhas opiniões; Eu realmente acredito que depois de tudo que ela passou, seria oportuno superar isso.

I mean, among the things that I think contributed to a good outcome is the fact that she should maintain her humanity and perhaps escape her captors. Punishing them is not a requirement, but if it happens it works... finally, although it is already defined, I think it would have been logical for Annabelle's sister to also be type 0, since they were twins... in any case , please don't abandon the story!
