    Author’s Summary: “He wakes up as a half-blood Black in the world of Harry Potter — but he's already split in two. One half is a frightened child. The other is something born from everything he was forced to suppress. He knows exactly where he's landed and roughly how the story's supposed to go. Keeping his head down should be easy enough — if only he didn't have that face.”

    So far, I’ve found it interesting and I like the way the author limits the MC in various ways—he doesn’t just get to take over the Black fortune or 12 Grimmauld. The author has a decent track-record and a good update rate, so I’m not too worried, here.

    Also, MC must be careful because he’s an Obscurus.
    Ha! If MC thinks Harry’s got it bad in potions class, just wait until Snape sees the spitting image of Black walk through his classroom door!

    I’m not entirely sure how I feel about the family memories thing—something ever-so-similar, but different enough from TheBlack'sResurgence’s “The Reaver's Legacy”. I’m leaning towards “neat and interesting” but it nags as “too convenient”. We’ll have to see how it’s ultimately used—or abused.
