TheQueer penguin chapter 15 . 8/22 YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH I ADORED THIS. IS BRILLIANT. MY FAVORITE BOOK SO FAR AND JESUS JESUS I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING. SNAPE IS LOOKING FOR HER, AND PANSY TOO AND JESUS. AND CRYING. I LOVE HOW RIDDLE ABSOLUTELY MESSED UP WITH ALL OF RIDDLES PLANS, THIS WAS BRILLIANT. THIS FANFIC WAS AMAZING. I LOOK FORWARD TO ANYTHING ELSE BECAUSE JESUS THAT WAS QUITE AN EXPERIENCE. TO SAY I AM IN LOVE WITH THE CHARACTERS AND THE PLOT WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT. VIOLET, YOU ARE BRILLIANT. On a more serious note this fic brought me joy during darker times, and I think this story and it's characters will always have a warm place on the pocket next to my heart. I swear every character that appear was somehow very appealing on its own way. I adored the dynamics. And I think that this book was the one that I loved the most in this series. The whole tournament in the lower alleys, Leo, Rigel dealing with Riddle, Rigel dealing with the tournament, the changes the tournament had in itself were brilliant. This was so fascinating to read, thank you. |
Fayhem chapter 14 . 8/10 God, this chapter has absolute all-time lines and moments. The Howler, esp the last bit? Pansy being the GOAT? The final line, and the bit going up to it? SO. FUCKING. GOOD. |
Fayhem chapter 13 . 8/10 God the way this chapter just went INSANE with it |
Fayhem chapter 4 . 8/7 Ah, shit - I was wondering who'd be behind the Death Eater attacks with Mr. Riddle on the politician route, but we've already met him, haven't we? Mf is finally back for round 2. |
Guest chapter 6 . 6/13 Chapt 6. Second time i reread this story. I feel like this whole triwizard tournement is a violation of riddle's agreement with Rigel at the end of second year. He promised to not interfere with hogwarts, magically promised. There should be some form of repercussions against him for this. |
Reinamy chapter 5 . 5/27 This last scene will always be one of my favorites in this incredible series because it reminds me so strongly of Alanna/George and AHHHHHHH. HP and SotL were my absolute favorite book series as a kid and never did I imagine that someone would create a fusion for them. This series just makes me so happy. I’ve read it so many times, I love it so much. |
Lorien's Lady chapter 15 . 5/20 Like I said I’ve binged this and the reveal was fucking amazing. I had no idea when or how you were going to pull it off but I love how you did it So Much. So much. Kudos! |
diecupcakes chapter 14 . 4/27 omg. Thank YOU so much for writing this book. Such a splendid climax to their ruse. Your story has swept me up into it entirely. It was every bit as satisfying and exhilarating as I’d hoped! |
Guest chapter 15 . 4/21 Rereading this, I love these characters of yours so much! |
sexy-slytherdor chapter 1 . 4/20 This is the first time ive seen a HP fanfic reference a Tampra Pierce novel ! Im so excited to read! |
reesessweetie chapter 11 . 2/24 reading about your favorite characters in this story: my favorite is leo. i just love his unwavering loyalty. he's smart, strong, kind and has a good sense of justice. i just love him. rooting for him! |
reesessweetie chapter 15 . 2/23 wowoowwo, i have to say i was wondering how you were going to write the reveal. THIS WAS FANTASTIC~~! i'm actually very excited to see harry now finally in her own skin, with her own face. and whats going to happen next. i love that leo has figured it out. she needs someone to talk to about this. i'm hoping that harry ends up with leo at the end of the story. i read that you didn't want to focus too much on love in this story and that's fine. but just saying, i wouldn't be disappointed if you had harry fall in love with leo. throughout the story my only complaint tht there wasn't enough of leo! makes sense as he can't attend hogwards, maybe now we can see more of him. i'm gonna stop writing because i just have to get to the next book. soo excited! |
BreathingStar chapter 14 . 2/20 Absolutely amazing. I love reading about secrets coming to light, and this was perfect. In fact I must praise the entire series, it has had me spellbound for the past week or so. Just to mention a few of the innumerable great aspects of the series: firs, the theory of magic in all its aspects and the way it is written - for me as a reader, the theoretic constructs have always been interesting and understandable. They appeared and grew in the story organically. Secondly, Rigel's/Harry's personality. Loveable with enough "flaws" that make me want to shake her at times to make her human. Thirdly, the ideas! Including the theory of magic, the social aspects, the Lower Alleys, and so much more. The seemingly boundless creativity you have for plot. I was amazed in the first book at how well you included the political history and party aspects, not knowing how much more amazing worldbuilding was to follow. Rigel wanting a sentient guardian in her mind and then the jewel becoming that later tied together wonderfully. I was very suspicious of the jewel this year, I assumed it was lying to Harry about needing to separate Riddle's magic at first, and that it actually separated a calm part of Harry's own magic, thus making her react more aggressively. Thank you, very very very much, for sharing this series. I know that I will soon reach the end of what is posted. This has been a great finale. I will treasure this story, think about it a lot, and most likely reread it often. |
Guest chapter 12 . 2/7 Chapt 12. Riddle needs to die. Also, i know you said in an authors note that you didnt want the ruse to be discovered too early. But i do wish SOMEONE friendly learns of it and is supportive. |
Guest chapter 7 . 2/6 At chapt 7. Rigel needs to knock off riddle. Use memories to convince others to help. Arrange traps, or ambushes. All with deniability of course. Hell, steal some blood and do the ancestory test or voodoo. |
