    If like DIE GINNY DIE said there was less of the slut and only stuck with Tonjks and Bella i would of liked that little bit more! Oh may the God's bless him for killing the weasel off even though it was sub par! His new story is just as good maybe better "The new order" or something like that, awesome author!

    I liked the story, but the author seemed to change direction with each chapter. At first, it seems like Dumbledore made an honest mistake, but by the time of the epilogue Dumbledore is an evil, manipulative bastard. And the appearance of Ginny and her relationship with Harry was asinine and way too fucking random.

    I liked the story until Ginny came in. So 3/5 people always bring Ginny into a good story :(

    Good story. Though it felt a little like a reader's digest condensed book. The evil of ginny is offset by the dark and beautiful bella and the lovely tonks. Now me sleep.

    I was browsing this section out of boredom today, noticed that this story had a perfect score.

    The first chapter frustrated me quite a lot. The writing was solid and engaging, but the situations were far from believable. The background story was pretty shoddily written, and those new non-evil super-Dementors annoyed the hell out of me yet again. I like powerful!Harry, but gaining those god-like abilities in a prison? You must be kidding me!

    This author also utilised the clichéd Friendly!Snape who was the one of those few poor souls who knew the truth about Harry. The decision to make Draco a part of Harry's perfect little group was also off-putting.

    Azkaban a Utopia? I'm not going to by that any time soon, especially since most of the inhabitants have already suffered gravely from Dementors and drunk Aurors alike. They would no better than attempting to making life flawless, preferring to manipulate and push others around for their own gain.


    I started to enjoy this a lot more in the second chapter. I enjoyed the reaction to Harry's disappearance, the fall of the MoM, and the intelligent characterisations. I've definitely scene worse plots from various Voldemorts, and I appreciated the fact that he didn't come across as a total pushover.

    The Hogwarts and Azkaban battles made for entertaining reading, but the moment was ruined by how Harry's team PWNed everyone. I just can't accept the fact that someone who spent his NEWT years in Prison could be that much better than much older and more experienced wizards. Why have the outcasts become such good fighters, anyway?

    The epilogue ruined Dumbledore's characterisation, presented us with a Ron who became the next Dark Lord Wannabe, and Governments that accepted Harry's terms way to easily. A logical decision to be sure, but when do all politicians agree with the same logic?


    Despite all this, I was able to have fun reading the story. I would probably have rounded it up to a 4, if not for Godlike!Harry, good Draco and Snape, weak back story and a Utopic regime.

    3/5
