Aelirenn chapter 32 . 6/9/2021 Well it’s 2021 so it’s only been a few years. Lol. Just wanted to say this is my fav fan fic of all time and I reread it periodically. |
Blossominwild chapter 3 . 5/30/2021 going 0 to 100bin just seconds. James and Lily came back and suddenly Hermione loves harry and harry loves Hermione. everyone is acting like they are on steroids. very unrealistic. |
annalysiaramirez chapter 14 . 5/1/2021 This chapter is honestly one of the best chapters in this story. I pray you are well and that the story comes to an end one day. I dare to say this is at least my fifth time reading it, hoping for an update |
3tim chapter 3 . 3/19/2021 Can't help but to think how better this fanfic would be if the main pairing started off as just good friends instead of hopelessly in love. Romance doesn't really add to the story. Not for me. Fun concept though |
Karou WindStalker chapter 32 . 3/17/2021 I wish this had been continued I can understand why it might not have been Just, this has been one of the finest stories I’ve read in the longest time ... |
Ryan Chessman aka Crys chapter 32 . 3/17/2021 Heckuva yarn you had here. In scope, you were clearly aiming at a Sunset/Sunrise style, though clearly different story. Keeping multiple threads going like this . . . Something I've always greatly admired in the good authors in larger stories. And this story had it in spades. Thank you for sharing such a story with us. |
KariAnn chapter 22 . 3/14/2021 This is a very compelling story. It was written years ago, so giving you advice about writing may be out dated. However, you are still writing even though it is an genre I don't read. I know someone commented on your habit of using a description of a person instead of using their name. Ex: "Lover of Remus". You said that it was boring to keep using names. I don't find it boring. In the other hand, I find your description names to be distracting. I am reading this marvelous story, speeding along and suddenly WAP ... who? You have written hundreds of words. That is a talent I admire. And you made it interesting. |
ItMeYaGril chapter 32 . 3/7/2021 As I mention in another review I posted to this story, I rarely post before reaching the most up-to-date chapter of a fic. I broke that habit when I read the vision of Lily several chapters back. Now that I'm caught up with this work, I'm happy to comment more on the whole of this fic. This, even incomplete as it is, has skyrocketed to the top of my favorites list. The slow and then rapid expansion of the scale from a Year 4 retelling to an international political drama was paced and executed so well that I have barely been able to stop reading all weekend. I've lost hours in each chapter as you've expertly ratcheted up the tension. The visions that affected me so strongly while reading are a masterstroke: we knew going in that Harry will eventually triumph, but the details we don't see in his visions, the things still up in the air, keep the outcome of this fic from feeling predetermined. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for sharing this vision of the magical world with us. Since I see from your profile that more is coming, whenever it may be ready, I will be waiting patiently and excitedly for this story to continue. |
ItMeYaGril chapter 21 . 3/7/2021 It's quite telling of the skill with which you draw readers in that my heart sank so far reading that vision. Your command of this story is incredible. Typically, I hold out on reviewing works until I reach the final or most recent chapter, but after having such a strong reaction to your work in this chapter, I had to point it out. Thank you for sharing this story with us. |
Leabharbhach chapter 32 . 3/5/2021 I’d forgotten how much I liked the story and characterisation you’ve created here. While I’ll admit there are a few elements I’m not fond of (particularly the age and speed which Harry and Hermione’s relationship advances), I was quickly able to overcome my discomfort with the excellence of your storytelling. I really hope you update this again at some point, as I’m dying to read the conclusion (to be honest I’d love to read a prequel to this detailing the Marauders era and more of James/Lily leading up to the start of this fic) Having blitzed through this again, I know I’ll definitely be coming back to read through everything you’ve written again to tide me over until the next update! |
FluffyGirl623 chapter 32 . 3/1/2021 Wow! This is such a great story! I'm so hooked. I found your story a few days ago and have been reading non-stop. I love it! I will wait until forever for you to finish this story. You're a truly great writer. I love how you describe the domestic events and the inner thoughts. Absolutely wonderful! No pressure, but the battles so far have been great, and so I'm looking forward to the final battle being riveting. Keep up the good work! |
coul532003 chapter 8 . 2/18/2021 I must admit I am a little disappointed in Dumbledore having his "alibi" ready with the permissions, and the very convenient short term memory loss associated with the stasis potion. I was expecting him to spout his "en loco parentis" hogwash and let his arrogance and stupidity out to play, along with a dressing down by Augusta. I would not have put it past him to know of a way to gain Neville's permission without really getting it (unless that is a secret to come). However, that being said, I am not the author, that plot segment I have read in other works so would not be original, and this works well enough, just not what I was expecting. Please pardon my opinion, not meant to be destructive. Still enjoying the story. I just don't care that much for the man-who-controls, at least in many (most) fan fiction stories. |
Freyja Morkkriger chapter 17 . 2/19/2021 I really enjoy your protrayal of Her Majesty. You make her behaviour believable, given she is the Queen and has been for some time, but is also a person, and a grandmother. Maybe in real life she's an unpleasant person, who knows, but I like to imagine that she'd want to know about dragons and the like, and find shenanigans a pleasant distraction from a terrible loss just like the us peasants. I also adore your protrayal of a young Prince William. He seems like such an upstanding young lad, and even though this is a fictional protrayal, it's nice to see him relaxing with folks his own age |
Coul532003 chapter 6 . 2/18/2021 The omake is as funny as Padfoot urinating on a downed Lucius Malloy in the Great Hall in another story. Too bad it didn't fit in. By the way, I think your story is great. |
coul532003 chapter 1 . 2/17/2021 Thank you for the story you are presenting here. It is quite wordy, but always interesting. I just happen to prefer slightly smaller chapters for no other reason than to get to a stopping place sooner. Your style of writing is quite entertaining while drawing out perspectives of the characters. Very enjoyable. Also, thank you for your perspective in A/N 4 above. As a reader, it is quite frustrating to become absorbed in a very good story for it just to end without explanation (at least in some cases). The better the story, the more frustrating at an abrupt ending. I apologize that it sounds like a flame or complaint, but I will admit I have never thought about it from the author's frustration standpoint. I do understand starting a project and then stopping when the effort outweighs the gain. But thank you for sharing your thoughts through the story. |
