If the book had stopped after Voldie's death, I would have given the book 5 stars. I hated the final 20 chapters.

Great story, but just like the other readers the post-Voldemort storyline was [good but] unnecessary. It should have been separated as "Part 2" or a completely different book.

I don't really understand why this fanfiction is considered "the best" by so many people, but I didn't like it as much as the Lightning Lord. Yes the Lightning Lord has flaws, most notably the fact that Harry gets powerful very fast. But I can enjoy a fanfiction with no real conflict if that is what I'm expecting. This one has a lot of other problems though.

First of all, it seems like two distinct fanfictions, with different styles of writing! The first part of the book is about Voldemort, and the other part deals with the whole magical world and its problems. The pacing of these two parts are so different that it feels like someone else has written the second part.
The main protagonist is not likable at all. ( Though this is subjective, and I've read in other reviews that they are actually quite lovable) Harry tortures Durselys for a while, and I get that they are bad people and treated Harry worse, but Harry shouldn't stoop down to their level, but not only he does, he doesn't even feel any remorse for it. The only thing that made him hesitant a bit was the fact that he accidentally killed Vernon, which in my opinion was not as bad as torturing them.
The author constantly reminds people that the protagonists are not perfect and they are flawed, but the purpose of a flawed character is to make them more human, not the other way around.

The other problems were muggles. In this story, they are evil. The majority of them. And this is just plain stupid for most of the book until it is explained that they are born like this. They are genetically hateful towards anything magical. So until almost the ending of the book, the whole conflict really seems unreasonable. If you are going to use a well-known term like "muggle" with a different meaning like "cursed by magic" you should put a bit more clues about it, otherwise, people might correctly think that muggle just means muggle.

The ending was rushed. And it deviated a lot from what the reader might expect from this fanfiction. It almost turned into a star wars crossover. The epilogue made The protagonists into literal gods, which I didn't like either, but it was cool.

The message of the book was the worst part in my opinion. Although keep in mind this is subjective and is not a flaw of this fanfiction. The main point was that muggles are destroying the planet. I agree with this, and I agree with the author that we should change drastically to save ourselves. But the second point that was about how they were wrong to think they can go against nature... I hate this point with a passion. Yes, we are infinitesimals against nature, but that doesn't mean we should stop growing. Yes, we should tread carefully, but that doesn't mean that going against nature is inherently wrong. Our civilization is in its infancy, we are not even type-one civilization, so of course we are insignificant in the grand scale. But we should try to grow. We are doing it now, I don't see anyone complaining about going against nature when we cure diseases or live past the age of procreation! why is standing against nature in other areas should be wrong?


Overall, I didn't enjoy this fanfiction and I can't recommend it. But it has a point. We should stop destroying the Earth. We are living in it.

[Vivian Rodrigues · Rating 2 out of 5]

What I liked:
Strong, independent Ravenclaw Harry
Manipulative Dumbledore
Evil Snape

What I hated:
Awkward sex scenes
The author dragging the story after Voldys death
The ridiculous "we gods, k?" ending (really don't understand why people do this shit)

[Sean Randall · Rating 2 out of 5]

Potential at the beginning, but of course much of it has been done before, as with most things in the fandom.
The sex got a bit boring, literally the same description and terms every time, and of course the antimuggle viewpoint is ridiculously closeted, even for a fanfiction.

[Daniel Cunningham · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very good story.
