Reviews for The Changeling
Cbird28 chapter 11 . 9/5
Wow. Just wow. I don’t have adequate words to express how I feel about this fic! I felt such a rollercoaster of emotions reading it. I loved “watching” Ginny grow up and learn who she was. I appreciate that you have a lot more depth and nuance to Slytherin, especially with the Parlor. This was so well written and the imagery and voice of each character was so vivid. I loved every minute of reading it!

I came across this while scrolling to find something to read because I was bored. And Gods this was one hell of a story. Original and amazing. One of a kind plot.
Guest chapter 11 . 8/30
I read this one because Ginny was my favourite book character and wondered how it can turn out if she was a slytherin. And now i dont think i can ever imagine her other than being one. I think the author made - as a ravenclaw- slytherin as my second favourite house.
It was brilliantly written and very deep, very layered. I couldnt put it down (finished it in 3 days and English is not my first language) So thank you very much for this. Looking forward to read the sequels
renowned-warrior chapter 11 . 8/19
Holy fudge! I was so sceptic when deciding to read this story and few times have I ever been so pleasently surprised. It is definitely worth a read as I can only give it by best recommendations. This is going straight to my favorites list.
Thank you for sharing.
Cheeky Basilisk chapter 4 . 8/13
Love this idea. I really wish JK had written a few different perspective books to really get into the experiences of your favourite characters like the other Weasley's. I was initially disappointed it wasn’t a perspective where the sorting goes the same way, but it was really interesting to see how Ginny would develop as a slytherin. I especially like how we see Harry’s flaws from an outside perspective without his inner dialogue to justify his choices and behaviour. I also loved him not being the main character of the story, but another character in a different story. It works so well seeing the Hogwarts experience where not every year is a crazy adventure but simply navigating issues of fitting in and coming to terms with your experiences. I really wish this could get narrated just like the main books to really bring it to life. Really enjoyed this one.

NEVERMIND THERE IS A SEQUEL, I'M SO HYPED UP
Bl4ckRabbit chapter 11 . 4/22
Wow, this was incredible. You enthralled me throughout the story, weaving your words in a beautiful tale of hard choice and multi-layered characters. My only regret is to not have seen the last year's of rebuilding, of learning to not be always on edge. One years during wich she need to continue mentoring Nikola, to give her the keys to be the next mistress. Quidditch too, quidditch that was once her dream, her escape paradise, will it hold the same meaning? The scene where Reiko smile seem to say so, but Ginny have changed, and I'm wondering if Quidditch is still in her ambitions or if the struggle to think of way more importants things made that lifelong long seem too trivial to care about now, even after the battle is over.

I would love to read a last year, because building a story is great, but finishing it is magnificent, and this deserve to be finished.

I thank you hearthfully for sharing this story with us. I immensely enjoyed it and will speak highly of it when the subject come.
maiqsmail chapter 10 . 4/9
Okay, the biggest thing that peeves me here is that they're sticking to stun/disarm spells in the battle. It's not like death eaters would use kiddie gloves when they have werewolves and giants, eh? They stun a DE, retreat, DE gets revived and goes after them flinging lethal spells. Of all the asinine things in canon author decided to borrow this. Ugh.

Second, I expected more from the story. Like, a difference like Ginny's different house would create bigger and bigger changes as time goes. Instead it's the same canon from different POV up to the tee. Again, ugh.

This being said, the story is pretty good. If we take it as complimentary story to canon, then what heck, great story.
I wanted more drastic changes and originality, but whatever, good Slytherin POV and thinking is nice too.
maiqsmail chapter 9 . 4/8
Imagine Shacklebolt sending a message from the ministry to the Burrow via patronus (which is canon), but few chapters later when Neville has to warn his Grandmother, suddenly everyone forgets the charm and they have to slog to secret tunnel to speak with Aberforth. Huh?
maiqsmail chapter 6 . 4/8
Finally something relatively new instead of canon rehash from different POV.
maiqsmail chapter 4 . 4/8
Amazing. Seemingly so different, yet pretty much everything goes down the canon rails. Slytherin!Ginny just going into DoM trap? How and why? What a stupid development within this story, I have a feeling it's only possible here because that's what canon did.
Phantom Parasol chapter 11 . 3/27
Amazing
RowanWood72 chapter 11 . 3/16
This is fantastic. I love this so much. Ginny and Snape and the OCs... it's just so well done. It feels detailed. The themes aren't rushed... they're beautiful and subtle. The time you put into this really shows, and I'm glad you wrote it. I also love the Parlor Girls.
Nicolene B chapter 11 . 12/30/2023
I really thoroughly enjoyed this. It is so incredibly well written and so true to the characters. At this point I'm almost convinced she was a Slytherin in the books too.

Thank you for this!
Cath chapter 11 . 9/5/2023
This was so beautiful and poignant. One of the best fics I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading.
