...OH **! I just read through your entire story here, it took a couple days, this my dear good sir, is longer than some novels I've read. And, it is argueably better than many! I applaud you, but, not for too long; I'm afraid I must hurry and start reading that sequel. Very, very, good story.

I love this story...but the last three chapters or so could use some reworking. Your timelines are all over the place...you started quite a few chapters back with Harry's point of view - responding to Tom's mirror call and his fight through Hogwart's...but then a few chapters later you go back and tell the whole story again from Tom's point of view, going back to the start of the school year.

This broke up the story and fluency in it's telling and reading and made it confusing, to boot. For half a chapter, I thought I was reading about a second attack on Hogwarts...until it clicked this was the same story from a few chapters ago.

What you should have done is told the incident as one story, switching points of view as the incident unfolded. For example, Tom call's Harry, Harry tells Tom to blockade the door...scene switches to Harry preparing to depart to Hogwarts and leaving his house...scene switches back to Tom and the door been breached...back to Harry and taken on the baddies outside the Headmasters office - and so-on-and-so-forth.

Story telling (unless doing well constructed flashbacks) works well with good continuity and avoidence of repetition.

You used the phase "Harry Hunting" even if his new name is James...

This story is really, really cute so far! I love the young Mad-Eye, too! I hope there's more of him... well, I'm only one chapter 3 of, what, 39? So I can hope ^-^

Wow... What an awesome story... It's so good...
I completed your story in almost 3 days... (missing other things... :()...
I liked it so much...
Am off to read your sequel now... :D
Great Work...

I just find your other works 'Balanced Destiny' since it's a sequel, I go to your profile and started reading this first. I read it fast and skipped some and after some chapters, I think this is really good and I'll be sorry to miss some details, so I re-read it from the 1st.
there are lots of time travel fics, but this is one of the best I read. I like the name James Evans. while I doubt harry would ever time-travel to change the past in canon, It makes sense if Harry lost everyone in the war, he would change it.
I haven't finish it yet, i think I'll give another review in last chapter once I done.

I forget the number of times I have read this. Although recently I usually just read my favorite parts and skip others. What you have here is a fantastic work of fiction that I highly recommed to any and all readers. I am excited to see where the sequel goes in the future (I have already read most of the currently posted chapters). THank you so much for posting such brillant work. I love every chapter.

This story was awesome.

I don't have a whole lot more coherent to say.

That was a great read.
Very well done.
Looking forward to the sequel and maybe some of your shorter stories.

oh my GOD! there's MORE?!?! i just spent over two months reading this story, which was amazing by the way, but it's not resolved! ah!
anyway, very nice story, i enjoyed oit so much that i didn't do my homework for the last week so that i could finish it.

this was bloody brilliant! every moment of this was perfectly timed and perfectly paced, and with the old universe melding seamlessly into the new- i think you did an absolutely fantastic job writing this. i loved the characters you invented and extrapolated here, and the melding of the two times wasn't cliché, as it might've been, but bittersweet, as might've been expected. although i'm not sure might've been expected isn't cliché (o:

i thoroughly enjoyed your fic, and am looking to read the next one! cheers!

There is a fault in ch 37 of Altered Destinies. James says he meets Grindelwald for the first time, but they already faced of during the diversion to get Christina into England. I'm sorry if this appears to be overly critical, but you can comfort yourself with the thought that I probably only spotted this because I read through your whole story today. It's fantastic.

-grins- Awesome chapter. :D

love it and i can't wait to read more!!

wow, this was awesome

I cannot remember if I wrote a Review of this fan-fiction before... But, I just reread it once again. I think that was the third or fourth time. Anyway, I still think it's that good. Love every single chapter of it. I do like the Harry Potter parts the best, not that Tom( Riddle) P.O.W. is bad or anything.

I cannot praise this fiction as much as it deserves! Could very possible be better than the books. no it IS better then the seventh book! Honestly, it's very close and I am leaning back with a nice satisfied feeling when finishing this, which is not exactly what I could say of "The deathly hollows"

There is a sequel, so I'll continue over to that - again :P
