This is a nice little oneshot that I have quite enjoyed. The author has four other Harry Potter oneshots up on his profile witch where also worth a read.
I also think this guy should be encouraged to write more.
I give this story 5/5

I enjoyed it, but felt it was a tad too short. Yes, it's got a great premise, and the fandom is not likely to see anything of similar quality for a good while, but there was just something missing from it. 4/5

 

This. I'm all curious about the types of magic Harry would be taught by Mab, and how he ended up becoming the Winter Knight.

Other than that though it was a quality oneshot.

4/5

 

Interesting and enjoyable, if a bit short. I felt the author could have fleshed out the story a bit more.

I'll give it a 3/5. The story while nice wasn't anything exceptional.

 

4/5
story is good but a little short and doesn't give enough background.

 

Good story wish there was a little more background.
4/5

 

It's pretty good, but I prefer Harry-centric fics. Also, this fic has no plot whatsoever. We just see a total bastard called "Harry Potter" talking to two pretty bitches and raping a Summer sidhe (while also banging one of said bitches). It reads as some perverted fantasy, albeit a nicely written one.

3/5

 

It was very short but it was good. Not great or anything and the author could of did with some more background details.

3/5

 

I thought it was decent for what it was. It didn't have much of a plot, so much as serve as a way to frame Harry in the Winter Knight role. Often, when you see many one-shots by an author with a feel to them like this piece, it's an author testing himself to see what he can do before committing to a novel-length effort. I did the same thing, penning four or five one-shots before tackling my first novel.

This author shows talent. I'd definitely read him if he were to do a longer piece and I said as much in my review.

4/5

 

meh, Not bad, but not great. interesting segment of a story, but little more.

solidly 3/5

 

'sbecause she started on that Snakecharmer story, bro.

 

This story is a tad tricky to rate. On one hand, I really enjoyed reading it. On the other hand, there is virtually no Harry Potter in this story. Still, this Harry is damn fun to read.

4/5 due to the fact that this story is short and sweet - and damn enjoyable.

 

Link?

This, Vash and Joes are the only fics I know of with Winter!Harry in them.

 

I think he's talking about this one.

Onto this one.

I can't really rate it anthing above a 3 as it really doesn't have anything interesting to me. All it did well was make me want it really expanded but it wasn't and so it gets 3/5 for making me want more.

 

I enjoyed this one, only the part with two wands was a cliché that I personally don't like and I agree with the ones who say that this was nor exactly an Harry story, this Knight could have been anyone. Still, it was a good read and I liked the writing style and the portrayal of the Winter Court.

4/5

 

If I read this purely as a outline for a potential fic, then I'd say that it was pretty well made. However, there was just not enough Harry in it and you could have replaced the guy with any other character without changing the story at all.

But it was still pretty fun to read.

4/5

 

Decent if a little sparse on details. 3.5/5

 

I do not bemoan the lack of background, I actually do enjoy stories that jumps straight into it and lets you understand more and more the further it goes.

The writing is good, the atmosphere created is interesting.

My only peeve is that it's too short to be missing a sweet finalé.

4/5
