This is an excellent fan-fiction on Harry Potter and time travel. It is very well written, the characters are well defined in addition on what J K Rowling had already done. And I am glad that I came across this; it made me forget how awful HP and Cursed Child was.

A note of caution though. This book is part of a trilogy and although the book feels complete on its own, there are few things which are explained in the sequel. And that book as well has a cliffhanger and the third book has not been completed.

Some great ideas explored (The runes, the room of love, the Christmas tradition). Some stuff that made me roll my eyes (THE Buggering). But this was such pure, unabashed wish-fulfillment, which all fanfic should be about, that I loved it despite some lines that I would certainly have cringed at had it not been .. Again such joyous, unabashed wish-fulfillment.

A very interesting and entertaining story. I must admit I did feel a little lost at times, but I put that down to my own issues and not the authors.

If I'm honest I did find the final battle a little disappointing Having Ginny also survive the killing curse just felt a little OTT for me. I'd of much rather Harrys tokens formed a shield but then I guess Ginny and Harry would not of had their connection, which again I felt OTT and unnecessary but thats just me.

I also had a little issue with how Hermoine was treated like she also was older than she appeared, when in fact she really was just a child. It kinda threw me off at times, as did the whole drinking thing. But again those are my issues.

I did love the way Snape was portrayed, especially by the end.

Overall a great idea and a well thought out and executed story.

Let's call this a tradition of reading stuff on FF.net
The story flows kinda okay. Don't expect any miracles, skip some really weird parts, all lemons, and you might end up with okay time-travel world saving journey.
