Horrifying, amazing and unique. I'm glad I don't live in that world, but it was a ride.

You are a awesome writer and the trilogy is proof of that.
As with the other two, this goes into the favorites folder.

Just went into the reviews and noticed that someone named “The Earthquake” gave this a 6/10. Considering he’s never been brave enough to publish anything on this site, then i think his opinion can be summarily ignored.

This story. This is a masterpiece! Please publish this. The Harry Potter elements aren’t necessary for the story to be good; its great without them. Change some names and terms around, and no one would ever even notice.

Quite the amazing ending to the trilogy.

After much consideration id give this a 6 out of 10. Marked down for a few reasons. 1 Ending: It's been said before, but the ending, chapter 36 specifically, is Deux bullshit -2 points. 2 Aether: Book 1 introduces it as hypersensitivity to magic including mage sight, seeing a person's soul/magic and a higher mastery talent of soul magic. Over the course of both books this amazing take on Harry Potter is dumb downed into high-capacity seer magic. While I have zero issue with seer or how this story introduces them; there is a massive issue with the lack of true exploration of this 5th rare element, -2 points.

Food for thought: If accidental soul magic on Seamus is life threatening then why is Voldemort not destroyed sooner?
My answer was the Author placed too much of the story on Voldemort being the main villain despite it being an AU. (P.S. Had a fairly horrifying and interesting villain in the Dark Covens already only to make it clumsy and stupid.)

I am taking a break from this trilogy for now. It is too intense for me at the moment.

I remember reading this story when it was happening and absolutely loving it.

Coming back years later, I see so much good in it, but older eyes also see things that are rough, especially in the ending. It’s very unsatisfying to me as a more mature reader.

1) Hermione disappears. Harry’s oldest and best friend leaves with “and he never heard from her again” and no matter how much they were both hurt by what happened, I refuse to believe that each of them lived decades if not centuries without ever giving in to any temptation to at least check if they’re ok.

2) the unbonding. It feels extremely Deus ex machina. So much of the story is so heavily invested in bonds being permanent, but as everything wraps up, oops no it’s not. But only for our intrepid hero who gets special rules.

Special rules would be fine if there were any foundation for it earlier, but it’s so left field and not even really foreshadowed that their bond is significantly different from others. Sure we know it affects Luna and Harry differently, but Harry has no idea it can be changed and Luna never hints at if. It’s very sudden and jarring. It feels too convenient to be satisfying.

3) the fallout it was underplayed and underexplained. What happens to the European forces? European goblins? Morgan and the WAC? The ICW? I know it’s Harry’s story, but the bigger picture feels unfinished and so it feels like Harry’s part in it isn’t over yet.

3.5) what does Harry do after? How does he navigate these waters? Harry was appointed head of the MLE against his wishes and had no real, useful argument against it. But he saves the world from voldie and everyone else is like “ok yeah super world hero but you can go now”? Absolutely could never happen.

Love this world and think you did such an amazing job building it up and setting things in motion, and this story led me to your other fics that I love, but in retrospect it’s clear to see how much I have grown as a reader and person, and how much you have grown as a writer.

Sorry this is long and I don’t mean this as any sort of attack because I really respect your writing but I just wanted to voice the potential I felt when I was rereading.

Wow

This story really should have a Horror genre.

Is this the last story in this seires or are there mor to come?

I really love this.

Ruined the entire series at the end killing Ginny and Hermione leaving. If anyone died it should have been Luna not Ginny. They just used Ginny and Hermione then Luna wanted to throw them away like trash im shocked she didn't throw Tori away after she lost her baby. Precious Luna got what she wanted in the end.

so Luna just wants to throw Hermione and Ginny out now like trash im starting to hate Luna in this fic
