Reviews for The Ambiguous Artifice |

Dark Angelx1992 chapter 5 . 5/10/2021 Oh, i was half hoping that Snape would meet Archie. Even if he learns to conceal his Aura, Rigel's mannerisms and character are vastly different from Archie's; Snape would notice that something was up. I'm glad that Harriet was able to impress him with her project and I half look forward to seeing her work with Thompson again. Her friendship with Caelum was also quite unexpected, should I add him to Harriet's possible ships as well? I'm sad that Harriet has to suppress her magic but I loved that we finally got an explanation about why Harriet's magic is so uncontrollable and where she got it from. |
Dark Angelx1992 chapter 2 . 5/5/2021 Ok, I wanted to kill Renaldo for sabotaging Harry's potion; the boys must be afraid of her something fierce if they are willing to go to such petty lengths as sabotage. And I'm worried that they gave her the least impressive potions master exactly because she is a girl, I half hoped she would meet Prof. Snape at the guild. He had expressed his readiness to meet Rigel's honorary cousin after all. I don't mind long chapters, but it is easier to review shorter ones because I forget what I wanted to write by the time I reach the end of the chapter lol. |
Dark Angelx1992 chapter 1 . 5/4/2021 So far, so good. Aw, I have come to love Leo. He truly is amazing. He knows something is up and is still ready to help Harriet out no matter what. Draco and Pansy are great, they like her personality the way she is but would they be such supportive friends if they knew of her blood status? I do think that Pansy is more open minded in that regard, since she has shown interest in the Potter family, if only out of curiosity. And omg, I did not expect Caelum there! |
SeriousFicc chapter 7 . 4/27/2021 I honestly don't think I can bear to read past this point. Seriously. Why did you have to be so hell-bent on handicapping your protagonist? You didn't even leave room for anything, just shut down that whole avenue and for fucking what? This story had so much going for it but the main character is literally just a potions nerd now. Nothing wrong with that, but it's so boring to read. I wanted to witness this person grow into someone strong, and many others did too. I just don't understand why this was necessary. So fucking annoying. Depressing, too. |
SeriousFicc chapter 5 . 4/27/2021 You know that feeling you get when a book that was good takes the complete wrong turn? Yeah...this chapter nearly killed me. Seriously. You make Harry so powerful and then she just seals it away? God that's such a waste. I am so hoping this isn't permanent because god that would be so shit |
Guest chapter 4 . 4/27/2021 Great |
Gatalicious chapter 16 . 4/24/2021 This book felt a little more meandering, but the ending had a lot of punch and the amount of trauma inflicted on Harry was...severe. I continue to wonder when someone will grow wise of the ruse. I'm worried that when the Triwizard Tournament starts up and Rigel's name comes out of the cup what that might mean for poor Harry and Archie. Running off to start the next book now! |
OhKayArt chapter 16 . 4/19/2021 I have sunk weeks of my life into reading this whole series non stop, the time was rapturously spent and freely given! Thank you so much for these three books so far, I'm incredibly impatient for the fourth having had the luxury to dive deep into the story up until this point. I'm reassured that you're still here and still writing, I eagerly await all future updates. Thank you for this series 3 |
Guest chapter 16 . 4/19/2021 Ok but like... is Treeslider okay from that dragon scare?! |
Guest chapter 15 . 4/19/2021 Harry is so strong to have lived through her ordeal and come out for the better after all was said and done. And honestly,,,,, Harry,, get some sleep,,, por favor |
Guest chapter 12 . 4/19/2021 It's a good thing Hermione is such a loyal friend and that she didn't previously know that "Rigel Black" is a metamorph. Otherwise, well... Hermione would've put the pieces together in an instant. |
Guest chapter 11 . 4/18/2021 Pansy, bless her open mind - was so interesting to read the perspective of. Pansy is an absolute gem. Also although I don't consider Rigel and Pansy a good pair - romantically - I can picture Harry and Pansy as a good match. How odd. Also, Lily's people skills are extraordinaire level good. Seriously - 10 out of 10 would listen to her argument again. Also, to Rigel's friends other than Caelum, Pansy, and Rosier *sharp inhale* : YOU COULD AT LEAS TO BE CONSIDERATE AND MORE INCLUSIVE TO HARRY - AKA THE ONLY OTHER FRIEND RIGEL HA MENTIONED HAVING BESIDES YALL AND BINNY ':(( Ahem, anywho... I sort of really love the bluntness of Caeum n Harry's friendship. It reminds me of Ginny n Rigel/Harry's interactions as well, same for Forge and Gred's and - okay, well, the unapolagetic and simply authentic way ALL of the Weasley treat Harry/Rigel. It's just sOOO refreshing. Even Harry as herself - halfblood monarch, potioneer, and all - able to speak her mind even a tad more freely - I love it. I REVEL in it. I think the best outcome for everyone is that they can be unapologetically themselves.. I suspect that's why Luna Lovegood, Mad-eye, Snape, and Ginny Weasley are my favorite characters in canon - They all have that particular trait in common :) |
Guest chapter 10 . 4/18/2021 Merriam is a lovely name. |
Guest chapter 9 . 4/18/2021 Pansy and Ron would make a good pair I think. Their dynamic is great. |
Guest chapter 8 . 4/18/2021 All the best to you as well, lovely author Violet! |
