    The first chapter is a little difficult but beyond that it gets much better. The story is really old with really slow updates, It has a lot of cliches but they weren't cliches when it was written. It has some problems and is very long but a read worth your time, I think.

    I apologise if this story has already been posted here.

    (4/5)

    WIP? I was under the impression that it was abandoned.

    Not a bad read however, but not a work of brilliance. 3/5

    It is a good story but updates were so slow I took it off my favorites and just added him to my authors section which I look at maybe twice a year.:wall:

    so 2.5/5 just for lack of updates

    I think I've read it before, But considering it's age that's not unlikely. It IS a little Cliche' But at least it's not one of those "I R Merlon UR antsester an I Grant ju POWA!" Fics. Especally considering that harry Lands in the middle of Merlins Flight from camelot after it's fall.

    I Liked it. 4/5

    nothing impressive but average. i think it is abandoned as it's been 5 months without an update.

    3/5

    I like it though... it's like you'll never see an update in your lifetime.

    3/5

    It's one of my favorites , I follow the story since chapter 2 , its actually quite original , true harry is a little bit overpowered but the author made him weaker in other aspects.

    STORY IS NOT ABBANDONED , UPDATES ARE JUST RARE

    Never really got into this one. I read it ages ago and I think I might have thought it wasd good at the time, but upon re-reading I found it to be quite boring. Nothing against the author, as far as I can remember it was written well, but I found the plot to not be exciting.

    3/5

    Read this before as well and I thought it was pretty good. Forgot about it when the author didn't update for months. Don't really mind the cliches and I like the writing style so I'd rate it 3.5 to 4/5 for lack of update.
