Read a few chaters, didn't like it. Will re-rate if it gets better, doubt it will though.

 

This 100x. If there is one thing I hate, it's people that rate shit without reading it. If it's not your preference, don't read it, just leave it.

As for the fic itself? This is probably the best thing i've read since The Name of the Wind. It's kept me glued to the screen, something that hasn't happened to me in a good long while.

There's a lot to be said about this story, both positive and negative. I'll leave a final review when it's finished however. Overall, I just want to say that this fic is exquisitely crafted, and an incredible job. I usually hate OC-centric fics, especially when the usual cast don't show up at all, but this is one of those exceptions to the rule i'll never regret.

5/5 from me.

Inverarity, if you are still reading this thread, i'd be interested in knowing the if/when/what/how etc about the fourth book. I assume you've been writing it at the moment, while posting AQDR?

 

That's stupid. Why do you think Average, Bad and Terrible are there for? If people only rate fics they like the whole rating thing is worthless.

You read a few chapters, rate it, continue reading if you want (and re-rate if you want) or quit, it does not matter. As long as you've read enough to form and opinion you can vote.

 

I have started book four, but I'm writing some other (non-fanfic) things at the moment, too. So book four probably won't be finished until some time next year.

 

Next year?! (((

THis is sadface. Just putting it out there.

 

CheddarTrek: Seven books has always been the plan.

Ellisande: We shall see. I've managed one AQ book per year so far, usually while writing something else in between.

 

Are you writing an original? You really should. I love how your characters noticibly develop over the course of the books.

Also, you could of so easily made this an original story as well, the magical system is really the only thing that is recognizable as HP, even then not as much as most fics are.

If/when you do release Original work, let us know, because I'll definitely buy it, and make the library at home buy it.

 

See, Sophie! This is what I was talking about.

Apparently we have more main plot to go, and shit CAN happen in the last 4 chapters of the story.

Liked it, looking forward to monday now.

 

I agree. I really hope that that will be cleared somewhat out in the next chapter. Her throwing away the coin is something I could live with. I'm not sure yet whether I want Maximillian to come back. Although I was a bit confused:

Spoiler

At the end, was the metal coin that Innocence held the same coin Alex threw away? If so, how did it end up there? If not, what did I miss?

 

Agreed with Darla getting kinda annoying. I hope there is some big revelation too be honest. Her character seems to turn 180 degrees completely randomly at times.

7 year contract was interesting.

 

I'm loathe to explain anything myself, since anything the author has to explain outside of the story is something the story failed to communicate. I think, however, that the next chapter will answer most of your questions.

 

I like reviews, I like feedback. Attracting new readers is nice. If you are inclined to leave reviews on ff.net, feel free. But don't feel obligated -- I've gotten past the point where I regularly check my stats.

 

Excellent last few chapters. Alex is really pushing the envelope in this latest story.

My guess is that Darla has some kind of sentence hanging over her head and she is desperate to pass the debt to someone else.

 

The last update was great. And most of the questions were answered. I really liked it.

 

Spoiler

How did Alex and Inocence get back to the school? Did I miss something?
