Pride of Time: Review

Title: Pride of Time

Pairing: Severus Snape/ Hermione Granger

Rating: M/R (all in good taste)

Synopsis: Hermione quite literally crashes her way back through time by roughly twenty years. There is no going back; the only way is to go forward. And when one unwittingly interferes with time, what one expects may not be what time finds...

Review: Few authors have been able to take the Mauraders Era/Go Back in Time plot and make it into a masterpiece. The story is long, thorough, and detailed. It takes you on an adventure as Hermione lands in the 70's from her fifth year. As if traveling back in time wasn't enough, throw in a rocky friendship with Severus and a difficult, but loveable friendship with the Mauraders, Hermione is determined not to upset the delicate balance of time. That doesn't mean she's going to take the past laying down either! She wouldn't be Hermione Granger if she did. 

I love this story, because of it's detailed look at Severus and Hermione's relationship and how it grows. I also love the little plot twists that make this story so unique. 

There is even a side story to enjoy after you finish this one called Divide of Time which to be honest, I kind of like better than the original story, but that is for another review.

Synopsis: Post-DH, EWE. Six years after the war, Hermione discovers a neglected and abused population with no place in a post-Voldemort world, and the man who stayed behind to pick up the pieces. A story of reconciliation, redemption, and above all, love.

My View: I started reading this story from about three or four chapters in and I loved it. This is a unique plot which can be difficult in the HP fanfiction universe. Hermione finds out that there is a group of children being horribly neglected and abused. These are the children of the Death Eaters. Too young to defend themselves, they have been cast aside to be used and abused. I just wanted to hug those poor children! The story is not just about their road out of the depths of hell, but many of the original HP cast. Severus, feeling the need to redeem himself, takes it upon himself to care for those lost children, but he is only one man. This is the story of how these children cause Hermione, Harry, Severus, Luna, Neville, and Ginny to open up to the possibility of all things especially love and forgiveness. It's a touching, tender piece that will have you laugh and cry all at the same time. It's unique plot will reel you in while the way the author writes these characters will keep you reading.

Excellent work! I am just so happy that's it's done so I could put it up here. I have been unable to post many recommendations since I refuse to recommend on my blog an unfinished piece. Sounds harsh, but it's because I want to recommend completed pieces and so I can give a thorough honest review.
