Summary:

This is one of the better Next Generation fics I've read. The author has created several characters with opposing political motivations, something I find very interesting. The writing is good, and there are several interesting aspects to the magic and world-building after year one.

Year one is a bit dull. There is quite a a bit of emphasis on Lily's social problems, which I found to be annoying. Also, the author introduces a whole bunch of characters at once when Lily reaches Hogwarts, and it can get a bit difficult to keep track of them at first.

Year three so far has been very good. There is a mystery central to the plot that the author is handling well enough, and I definitely dig many of the characters.

The story updates with a new chapter almost every day, which is a definite plus. Hope it keeps up the quality of the last few chapters for the rest of the story.

 

How is Harry P. characterized?

 

Harry's characterization is as you would expect from canon: he's reasonably competent as the Head Auror and he's a decent man who loves his family. He's kinda overworked and in over his head at present though: lots of disappearances and other stuff happening.

 

Eh, I wouldn't say this anything more than passably written. Its the sort of thing I could read for a couple of hours to fill the time, it would hold my attention but I wouldn't be greatly satisfied by it.

The update rate is certainly a positive, but only if you're wanting some quick and easy reading every couple of days.

 

Next-gen fic with canon pairings. Poorly written too. 2/5 and I'm being generous.
