HARRY is unhinged.

[Ann_Nyaruai]

1. I am 100% on Harry's side.

2. Dumbledore is a biased fool who creates his own enemies.

That said, there are MANY similarities between this Harry and Voldermort. He threatens his friends often and casually. He doesn't form healthy emotional bonds with anyone. He killed Lockhart (who definitely deserved it) but then he forced Draco and Ron to swear unbreakable vows to not tell anyone. He is entitled, possesive and selfish. He forces his opinion on others and doesn't abide contradictions. He only feels 'alive' when he's in danger or about to die. He is frequently unstable and unpredictable. He would have actually left ginny for dead if he hadn't promised Ron. Then he collects favors for any help given. He views everything through a transactional lens. I think at some point, some of his gang will start to really fear him. Someone like Hermione (plus Theo obv) might start to oppose him and he might hurt them? 😬

Im just so entertained by this one. My absolute favorite thing was when snapes patronus changed. This book is so indulgent for every hurt/comfort need. Harry is a vile little kid with way too much power for all the trauma he has.

Obviously this isn’t perfect, but I’m having too much fun reading it.

Such a good fic. All the stories in this series are amazing

[Bailey Weinberg]

Another amazing fic and it made me absolutely head over heels for Snape

Enjoyable story, but I'm struggling to like anyone.

OH MY GOD. I have so many things to say about this story. It was definitely even better than the last one.. as I've mentioned, Harry's history as a victim of csa and abuse is treated in a respectful and very accurate way (in ,my opinion.) Although his relationship with Snape further develops, it's still not completely there.. if you know what I mean. I assume I'll have to wait a fic or two more until their relationship is fully developed.

Harry is very unhinged in this saga.. and I have mixed feelings about it. Imagining a kid doing all of those crazy things is a bit hard and strange, but I think the way it's managed makes it okay.. this is just my opinion. Overall, I LOVED IT!!!

Really liking this series!

It is such a fine line in recreating a semi-canon-compliant series with enough of a twist to make it your own. There is definitely a more "grey" Harry in this which I am fine with. I am really enjoying the tentative protectiveness and care growing in between Severus and Harry--finally a trustworthy adult who is truly trying to be there for Harry.

Excited to see where this story goes and how the friendships develop.

Second year is over, and what a ride it was.
It stayed pretty close to canon, except in how Severus is a prominent figure in Harry’s life.
Also Harry is a little shit and we all love him, but boy is he scaryyy.
I’m off to read year 3.


Remember this by: Harry decorating Severus’ house with Black’s money because karma.

Can this get even better??

[Doodlecrumb]

Great book, better then the first, because the world is established already, so it reads a lot more fluent. I enjoyed it!

[I'm Fine, Just Tired]

Harry is such a mean hard ass but I'm hoping he starts to settle as time goes on.

I love the severitus though. Severus please melt baby Harry's cold heart. 😭🙏🏼

3.75 ⭐️
I love how psychotic Harry is🤣

[Frog]

Better than the first book, less frustrating anyway. Harry is getting good at manipulating people, we love to see it. Heavy themes but, mostly, well handled.
