One theme that kept bugging me in this whole trio of fics is that Harry, or even Dumbledore, never used their powers fully from the beginning. It was always like anime, starting from basics, to getting overwhelmed, to something triggering them and then some 'ultimate powers' helping them win. There were hundreds of instances when the sword of the cross could be used effectively and could end duels in a second.

Now, mind you, it would make a bad fic if Harry just won everytime without any effort, but the thing is, the power was just broken and you should have thought of some unique magics to counter it, instead of writing long, almost repetitive fights. I was honestly bored in some of the less important fights and skipped many paras here and there.

But criticising aside, it was a great fic. I think that the way you deprived the readers for anything between Harry an Amanda for 2 whole parts (I saw the comments lol, people were screaming at his behavior) actually made the few scenes even better.

I would've loved if Harry's tone was atleast a little polite though. No problem with a foul mouth, but cursing in literally every sentence just feels forced. So...yeah, that was my review and I hope you keep up with this series. I would definitely follow up!

Thanks a lot for your dedication. Great job it was a nice series

you're amazing and this story is amazing.

Not the best ending...But I only say that because I want another 3 stories to read :)

I was planning on leaving a proper review (well, a review with as much positive words as I know) but now that I realize that I've finished 3 epic stories I can't really do justice.

The action was the best I've read, and this book somehow got even better than the previous two with the "Assault on Winter" and "Battle of Hogwarts" Arcs. I doubt I'd be able to find a better Dumbledore Vs Voldermort or Harry vs Voldermort duel.
The humour was also amazing, I laughed out loud more than a few times at Harry's wit and his interactions with Dumbledore and others.
Oh, and of course the story writing was good too ;)

Thank you for writing this.

Brilliant. The emotions you stirred in that purely-verbal confrontation...

I think Voldermort will win, but I hope Dumbledore weakens him severely, so that Harry (hope it's no one else) can have an epic-but-short duel to get revenge and victory for Albus.

Harry vs Maeve... That was epic! Marred only by Amanda somehow being fine and conscious and able to kill Maeve :/.

Oh, and I loved Dumbledore Vs Maeve, even more than the Harry fight; Dumbledore could stand against her with his own awesome power, but gave up a possible victory to save the Order.

This is the best chapter I've read, I think the finale will be as good, if not surpass.

The last few chapters have been so good that I forget to review.

Dumbledore and Fawkes against Maeve and Amaris :O This is amazing.

A small part of me hopes that Amanda dies...So Harry can go god-mode and destroy Winter and Voldermort with one rage-filled scream lol. Also, if Amanda dies, Meciel will have Harry to herself soo ;)

"Shackles Of Soul and Ice"

Tragic...

This is brilliant writing.

Didn't review for the previous Arc but I'll just say that the "Fall of The Blackened Order" Arc was as amazing as the "Winter Battle/Rescue Maeve" Arc and maybe the Battle of the DOM Arc. The last line about the Sword of The Cross no longer wielded by Harry was also fitting.

This chapter; I'm glad that there wasn't another Amanda/Harry interaction...because Harry's got a "Captured while Dumbledore looks for him" Arc coming up instead :D
Also, I was wondering who on earth (lol ;)) would be able to capture Harry and make him leave Meciel, but I guess it's Maeve, the Winter Lady...

Have I already favorited this fic and it's author? Well, I'll just click that button again because I really can't say how much I love it.

Very well-written as usual.

I honestly thought Voldermort would realize that Harry took the cup like in canon, but I guess his wrath upon that discovery is not now...but soon.

Wow. No action but I don’t care at all.

I think I liked Maeve’s character when we were first introduced to her, through Harry’s relatively-innocent eyes.
Now, she’s keeping Harry’s daughter from him and ,if I recall the ending of “Denarian Knight” properly, working with Voldemort for some reason…

I was going to say that this chapter had action but not a proper fight and I was still not disappointed.
However, the fact that you included that awesome "Cutting down hordes of enemies while fighting the first Fallen that poses a threat outside of a duel" scene just makes this chapter so good.

This was a minor villain as well, so I get hyped just thinking about how you'll handle the final battle, if/when it is...

The last few chapters have been shaping up to make this just as good as it's 2 predecessors.

That last scene with Dumbledore and that last paragraph specifically... I'm so hyped :)

hahaha!
