Honestly this story was too confusing to fully enjoy (plus Draco/Hermione and especially Draco/Severus squicks me out a fair bit) there wasn't enough reason for the ritual explained and the ending was quite disappointing. It just cut off too suddenly. It was interesting and a bit of fun to read, but it all jumbled together too much with pieces that just didn't ring true for me. |

Normally I like reading these kinds of stories. While your story was well-thought out, the characters (ooc as it were) and the plot started very in-depth, I could not help but hope that some sort of retribution would come from this. Nothing better than a sinister plot gone ruined at the very last second, whether the act be done or not, haha. I was disappointed in the ending, though. Absolutely nothing done, she didn't even remember (I was expecting the obliviate to be ruined, somehow, especially considering that one of the things mentioned was 'torturing potter by making his best friend wish she were dead' thing). I was also disappointed by the holes in the story - like, why the heck did they do it in the first place? What was Sinistra's role? What were Draco's real motivations (this one caused by Hermione's questions to him)? What did he need her virgin blood for? What were the fertility symbols for? Heck, what was the entire RITUAL for?
There were just far too many questions that went unanswered, and coupled with that ending, it just made the story unappetizing to me. I'm sorry for writing such a negative review, but I felt that these questions needed to be pointed out, if for nothing else than to explain why I didn't like the story.
You tease -_- it started off so well, too... /sigh |

This story it so delightfully dark. Three cheers for your remorselessly evil Snape. I particularly loved the passage describing his eyes in the first chapter- an allusion to his early descriptions by JKR, it seems, painted in shades for grown-ups. Hurray for this artful story! |

Very dark very sexy very painful.A well done read,also Paganism has a very very dark side and the white wiccans who hate to admit it are in the very dark they despise. |

Well...........that was different. I was kind of hopin that it was some sort of ruse designed by Snape and Malfoy to help Harry defeat Voldemort. I was most definitely wrong. Interesting story. |

My, my, you've certainly ruffled some feathers, haven't you? Hermione's fright at looking into Snape eyes struck me as particularly well done, serving both to illustrate his character and as a lovely nod to JK's description of those eyes. I was impressed with your handling of Snape and Draco- unapologetically bad boys without being cartoonish villains, and I appreciated that Hermione- poor soul- didn't play the fretful damsel. I have a quibble or two, most notably pacing and the apparently varied nature of the Obliviate- but overall I was very impressed. Hats off! |
