You warn for gore, which I guess is a good thing. But man, this chapter was a lot sadder than a minor character dying, even if the random kid getting eaten was a gross way to die.

Something is weird about the formatting its really confusing me

Dumbledore is such a a bitch in this story I hate it and love it

This chapter made my teary-eyed.I feel so bad for Harry.

Oof, I really hope Draco doesn't get the power of a Lord. He didn't have nearly the morals or maturity to handle it in less than a disastrous manner.

F***ing compulsion à marde arghhhhh

THEY FINALLY KISSED OMG!

If Harry stays with EITHER James or Lily this summer I’m going to riot, lol. Especially because, unlike in cannon, there’s no real reason for him to return to the same place every summer. In JKRs books there was the blood wards, but here it just seems to not fit? Hardu does so mich growing each and every year and then, does the same tjing over and over again during the summer? It’s so frustrating because it’s just completely lacking any reason for it to happen. I know this is the part where you said Harry would be illogical, and there are still several chapters left, so I’m hoping someone will talk some sense into him and something will change, but like ugh. I NEED a change from the idiocy of the last 3 summers that is so separate from Hardy himself.

Wow! This installment flew by! Harry's growth is excellent. Love seeing Snape trying to save Draco and Harry from making similar mistakes he did. And I love the last chapter. The beautiful imagery reminds me of Susan Cooper's work. So gorgeously done. Tons of thanks for this epic!

I started this 4th book on the 13th of July so in the end it took me 10 days to read.
This storyline has been the most intense with so many twists and turns.
Manipulating Dumbledore which I hope something devastating happens to him for all the pain and suffering he has done to Harry.
I’m happy that Connor is getting better and becoming a better brother.
His allies I love especially Narcissa.
Onwards to book 5 I go.
Take care and be well!

I’ve never seen Narcissa fight before and it was AWESOME that she got to fight her sister Bellatrix.
She is and always will be my favourite Dark Lady.
Onward I read.
Take care and be well!

That was the most gruesome chapter I’ve ever read in the Harry Potter Universe of stories on Fanfiction.
It’s so shocking and horrifying.
Pray Harry gets revenge.
Onward I read.
Take care and be well!

That was so beautiful what Harry did for the Unicorns, it made me cry.
This story continues to impress me with every chapter.
Thanks so much.
Onward I read.
Take care and be well!

"But Harry was not sensible, and never had been, or they wouldn't have had to bind his magic."

Such a subtly devastating exposure of the abuser's justifications and wholesale invention of the victim to suit them. Same with your portrayal of Lily in that chapter. I feel quite Snapeishly about it.

There are a lot of things you do extremely well, which I don't review because I'm too busy reading the next chapter. You're a compelling writer.

I like the way you write Luna: she's a very engaging character whom it's nonetheless difficult to write persuasively and you achieve it. Your Scrimgeour is deeply enjoyable: a character with totally sensible motivation who consequently upsets what others expect.

I really admire how you write the after-effects of abuse and the ways foward, how you grasp the internal logic which abuser and abused strangely share, and the painful rhythm of unpicking. It's slow and nuanced and deeply rooted and makes the moments of epiphany or slight shifting credible and actually healing. The moments of epiphany sometimes need refreshing, and it works vicariously too.
