Naia always has been a bit slow when it comes to updating. Although they're always ginormous updates.
This story's great, its one of the few readable Mentor Snape stories out there. The only problem with this story that as with Dragon Masters its hard to get back into after waiting months for an update because of the depth that Naia puts into her stories.
This is a very interesting story, I can see that the updates will definitely be slow, considering the length and quality of the chapters. The best thing I have noticed in this story is that the author had no desire to make the world continue as it would if Harry had gone to Hogwarts. I was pleased to see that Voldemort had been resurrected by the Elixer of Life, rather than the sacrifice ceremony. I look forward to future chapters.
She does have a very good reason for not updating frequently....but then her updates do make up for the wait. and thankfully she does not do pairings.....yet Swapnil
WOW! It is original and I simply love how the author portrays Harry. We get little glimpses of his life at school and all the plots behind the scenes. It is amazing how he shows one 'face' to everybody then turns around to his friends and becomes a completely different person! I honestly didn't expect him to be a leader until the author dropped some clues about his manipulations. In other words, I love this story! ~ Kalissa
A nice new chapter. The story would probably rate 4/5 if it had anywhere resembling a resonable (hell, even regular) update time. That drops to 3/5 because updates are sporadic. The fic itself is developing nicely, with plently of plots and subplots.
Best story I've read in a while. A definite 5/5 if the updates were more often. As always with Naia's stories, I can't get back on track after such a long time. Most of the time I have to go reread the whole thing to remember what happens. It would be better, I think, to have Evan as Harry/Julian's only friend instead of introducing more characters. It seems crowded with all the other extras and unless they are needed in the plot development, I think that they're useless.
Fantastic story, I'm looking forward to the next update! ^.^ I would definitely recommend it even though It is not complete.
i just find the whole dark side so powerful and light side so insignificant annoying. i did enjoy the update though.
I love this story, it is by far and away one of my favourites. The fact we know so little of Harrys overall skill level and power draw you in and i feel we are only now going to see what he is really made of. I would love if this was updated more often but i must admit that the updates are huge, especially the last one. Very much looking forward to more. 5/5
After Half-Baked Plot, I'd say a lot of people can write better than JKR, but yes Naia is really something special.
Enough with the idiotic comparisons please. Naia is not a better writer then JKR. Naia writes fan fiction.
