I've been reading through your stories for the past two and a half weeks, and I must say, that I absolutely loved them - it was actually hard for me to stop reading them once I started. It is truly amazing how much effort you must have put into these wonderful stories.

woah...
i can't believe it..
I finally finished reading this grand story...
... and believe me, that took a long time...
oh, i know, let me just look up, at what date i reviewed the first part of this...

...
okay... so it took me just over 5 months to read everything... with work and real live in between of course... ;o)
so, i really have to say I'm proud of you for writing this and proud of myself for reading it to the end and not giving up halfway through... XD
but, to the story as a whole:
I am deeply impressed...

and now I don't know what else to write... my mind is blank... XD

I'm glad to have come across your series... and hope to find something new to read now that doesn't look bad in comparison... ;o)

many greetings,

Ah amazing. It's over.. I should have read slower, definitely.

I cried when Connor died. I did think of the Switching Potion, but not quite what Harry did with it. And then Connor.. I think he's my favourite characters because I really admire people who has the will to change.

One of the best things in your fic are the interesting OCs. It would be fun to see how the new ministry is going to work under the conservative Light and sly Dark. But I do recognize this is the time to finish :)

Thank you for writing Sacrifices :)

I don't have the proper superlatives necessary to properly praise this..saga.

I do want to express my gratitude to you, author, for the immense amount of effort you put into this, and for the courage to post it for all to see. If JKR herself has not heard of this, she should. I think she would be proud to see something like this, spawned from her creation.

I have no words, really. I will say that I will carry your name, and the name of the Sacrifices Arc with me wherever I go, and tout it as one of the finest examples of HP Fan-Fic that I have ever come across.

It's not perfect - what in life is, after all, but on the whole, I'm beyond impressed.

I read somewhere that you have faded somewhat into obscurity and no one knows where you are, or what you are doing, but I do hope that you are still writing, and that you will accept these meager words of thanks for the more than three million you have given us.

Sorry but it's too little, too late from Draco for me to change my feelings towards him. He's a selfish, obsessed jackass. The fact that, in the ultimate extreme he can muster a scintilla of humanity and decency does not alter the bottom line.

This story is SO excellent; I literally can't stop reading it!

Allow me to say that Draco Malfoy is, and continues to be, a selfish jackass and I really don't like him at all in this story. He is just no good.

At all.

PS: Your story is, and continues to be, incredibly good!

Hm...

The epic is already complete, so there is truly nothing to be gained by expressing concerns; the story will unfold as it will and I, the reader have the choices of going forward or abandoning the tale.

Having come so far along this path, there is no way that I will stop before seeing its completion, but I need to register my concern with Harry's recent behavior, especially in this chapter.

Don't get me wrong. I've been rooting and hoping that young Potter (erm, vates) could come out of his shell and start asserting himself a bit more, but take a close look at that scene regarding the nomination of new candidates for the Ministry.

Where is the commitment to free will that Harry is supposed to be all about? It's not to be seen at all in that part of this chapter; Harry dictates terms and when he states, "I will MAKE them", he sounds a lot less like a vates and more like a scion of Tom M. Riddle (and pardon me for saying so).

I don't much care for his reaction and interaction with his brother, either. Not to suggest that Connor should be using a switching potion as a substitute for actual learning (which he should not) but Harry doesn't need to act like such a prick, either. A part of me is secretly hoping now to see Harry in a situation where he needs his brother's help.

I don't know. It just seemed in this chapter that it was a lot more about Harry imposing his will on others than his normal stance, which is to respect the free will of others.

My minor objection voiced, I shall read on and see how this all unfolds.

*Salutes those who gave their last, full measure of devotion*

I can't say I'm happy with the sacrifices or that Connor doesn't have a legit heir after all that. But you made this story work for you and I admire that Lightning. I think you should write some more, maybe not on fanfiction,but maybe write a book. You would certainly be richer than J.K Rowling if you chose to. But that's your choice. Free will and everything. If you want to contact me, and I urge you to do so, my name up above is my fanfiction penname. If you want to know my email, it is ffiluvpjato(at)gmail(dot)com. it's a ggogle account if that part doesn't come out.
You know,your story has very good foreshadowing.It Kept on emphazing the reasons someone could die from the switching potion.And it kept on talking about the scar Micheal got from Voldemort.
I think and just remember this is my point of view- that this story was also centered around destructive human emotions, like love, hatred, jealously, and most of all fear.
Lightning, I don't think anyone can give this much work into something because of curiosity and still see it completely through. I think the Sorting Hat wouldn't be able to decide between Gryfindor(i know i spelled it wrong), Hufflepuff, or Ravenclaw if it was forced to sort you. Adieu, my reader, for eternity.

Wow! I'm almost speechless. But not quite. This entire series was so radically different than any HP fic I've read. It was dark, intense, gut-wrenching and completely unforgettable. It left me unsettled, but in a good way. I loved the themes of abuse, sacrifice and free-will. One does not often ponder the finer details of those kinds of things. The writing was superb. I adore fics that get into some really deep character development and this did not disappoint. It got right into the minds of the characters and had a party in there. Watching Harry, Connor and Draco evolve was an incredible experience. I wish Snape had been capable of more, but I suppose that would have been ooc for him. All in all this was an experience not to be missed. I absolutely love your writing and if you would update your profile and perhaps let us know where more of your writing can be found it would be great. You said you were going to work on original fiction. Would love to read it.

Well done

I didn’t consider that Henrietta will be willing to die as sacrifice.

I disliked Michael and now I have very good reason for that.
Ok, I didn’t like Connor but what happened with poor boy I didn’t wish him that.

One of the darkest chapters.

I like this Harry
