Re: really cool fem!Harry Potter fic

[(Anonymous)]

This is why I love the speedy updates! I hope the author doesn't burn out.

I am usually the same way, but I kind of run out of long!fic (unless I find something unexpectedly buried I hadn't noticed), so now I settle for whatever seems even remotely interesting, sometimes even abandoned stuff. orz

I'm really glad that I found something that sounds so promising to you!

Other things you can expect:

-An expanded magical system that is genuinely well thought out, exciting and doesn't contradict canon (as far as I remember, it's been a while)
-Exciting fight scenes
-Political intrigues that aren't boring or "lol harry pwns all everyone else is an idiot"
-The fic starts fairly similar to canon in the first "book", where it's laying all its foundations, but it diverges in the second book and it all gets progressively different from there.
-Probably the best well-written OCs I've ever seen in any fanfic. They're introduced in natural ways, they are all distinct, and neither are mary sues nor shoe-horned into the story.

In the interest of full disclosure, I do have criticisms:

-I think some of the characters (no spoilers) were villainized in a way that serves drama and angst rather than their canon characters, and while it works within the context of the story and the way magic works in it, I wish the author hadn't taken those routes with them. I'll give the author credit for updating at such a frenetic pace and still working such an awesome plot and general good writing, but I still think they took some shortcuts with them.

(To balance it out, at least most characters had believable strengths and weaknesses, both physically and emotionally. Nobody is perfect and actions have consequences.)

-Some plot and character arcs are dragged and dragged and dragged (especially for the sake of drama). Honestly, if the story wasn't so well-written, I would have given up on it. It's the kind of writing and plot that makes you want to keep reading any way, despite of the flaws.

(It took me several weeks of reading too. Seriously, this one will last you a good long while. Just like we like our fics, right? ;D)
