The war is much larger, far longer, and much deeper than they could have imagined: fought on a scale that baffles the limits of human understanding. In such a world, perhaps it isn't surprising when Hermione Granger is sent back in time to rescue Tom Riddle's soul before he has the chance to destroy it.
It is quite rare to read a Tomione story that centers on Grindelwald and the earlier war.
I'm impressed by Sterling's more original take on this Tomione piece and enjoyed reading this all throughout.
The only details that could have made this even better (imo) is if 1. H didn't return with all those memories right at 11 but instead had hints/visions instead as a true seer, like she was pretending to be as her cover., and 2. If T didn't take a backseat to the story - In Champion, he felt more like a sidekick than an actual main character like most other Tomione stories. I won't complain "OOC" that he wasn't dark enough because the premise of this story sets him up this way.
Overall each scene and each part of the story was so much fun to read; it had the perfect amount of suspense, and there was enough at stake to keep this story incredibly engaging from the beginning to the end. Just wish H&T had a longer epilogue. :)
