- Luc appears so little in this book at this point, that he really is more of a concept than a person. With HP it made sense, he was the protagonist for 7 books so we already knew him, he saved Hermione again and again. Nothing Luc did justifies the complete devotion Helena has to him and while I get that she isn't in a good state of mind right now, she doesn't waver one bit in that belief. He's not a holy baby.

- some big twists coming in (My hero academia)
- we're still in part 2, did not expect that to be this big, the majority of this book is a giant flashback
- no real reason for her staying, I guess she likes it at this point? Even the MMC thinks this is nuts.
- I like the giant wolf with wings

Guessing chapter 45 and 46 are the turning point in this part, because of the reveals. Yes, the characters do have reasons for their behaviour, but I just hate them so much more. This is like taking every hopeful part out of "Grave of the Fireflies" and submitting that, it wouldn't hit as hard.
And does nobody sleep in this world?? It's like one consecutive day.
Still well written. Don't know what to rate it yet

- I think SenLinYu is really good with slow-burn btw, wish she would write a truly original (marketing-wise absolutely untethered to HP) book after this. But I guess she's just going to release her other Dramione fanfics with the names changed instead, because easy money for the publisher.

- Discourse around this book is extremely toxic. Not really looking forward to the review since apparently it's okay to call reviewers names for not getting the "brilliance" of this book sheesh
- this is a 1000+ pages book with almost no pleasant side characters. I currently have 1 (Matron Pace)
- wtf Lancaster is a tragic figure because of the torture done to him
- the chats with Ferron continue to be nice

- Excuuuse me?? He "looks like he stopped aging after 16"?? Why would you do this?? Why was it necessary for Helena to say that? ono
- the chimeras are interesting (Ed...ward) and you could do lots with just that part of the lore
- Guessing there's a traitor among them, as they refuse to do anything of use to win the war

- every single character except Helena is awful so far, certainly a choice for a 1000+ pages book
- "both sides are bad" in a war, with one side doing ww2 war crimes and the other being a theocracy so sexist (and possibly racist) that real world ones would blush
- why is she helping any of them again? Because ~ magical Luc ~
- I still like Helena and the necromancer lore. Just wish part 2 would be over soon. Plz

- (I borrowed it so no money goes to aibros)
- it's better than I thought so far and MUCH better than "Rose in chains"
- the necromancer lore is actually the best part
- the grapic r5pe scenes and similiar scenes are only there for trauma porn. It feels like someone looked at the lebensborn ww2 crimes and thought "well this wasn't cruel enough, my teenage edgelord readers won't feel a thing, lets make it worse"
