This was so far left of what I usually go for. There were no murders for one. And all those coincidences were a litte too much, so the big reveal wasn't much of a reveal at all.
But the 3 1/2 stars are all for storytelling, cause the guy can spin a yarn, and the story flowed,it went down so smoothly, I finished in one sitting.

I've been reading rather a lot of fanfiction this year, so I've decided that everything upwards of 150K words should absolutely count towards my reading goal for 2021. So here we are.
Except, I'm almost willing to let this one slide, just because I feel embarrassed I read through the whole thing. Really, I ought to have dropped it and forgotten about it, but lately I've been shipping Remus/Hermione (like the Spanish Armada), and I kept hoping the fic would get better. Guess I'm a bit of a masochist that way.

I guess I wanted to like it too much.
