Reviews For For Valour
Author's Response: Hello rosina! Yeah, For Valour is really not the typical story, so I totally get that you're on the fence. And yeah, present tense can be awkward. But you got it right on why I chose it! I was booorrred. I wanted to try something noew, and I like what it does for this story. Hopefully that won't be too distracting if you do decide to jump aboard for sure! Thanks so much for reviewing despite your reservations! ;)
Author's Response: Hey Emily - thank you so much for your review! I am glad you are enjoying it so much. Cheers!
Lucky for Harry that Severus seems to be a supportive and understanding father, else he would be in great trouble. Although I still think a mild parental lecture is warranted for invading his father’s privacy, not to mention sharing the information learned with Hermione. But then again, perhaps learning the truth (or most of it) may lead to a deeper understanding and result in a lesson learned, so there’s no further lecture needed. (But that’s just me rambling, I hope you don’t mind.) Anyway, great chapter, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. It also got me pondering how much – quite contrary to canon – Severus would hate it to be called brave. I can’t imagine the amount of pain the Victoria Cross evokes along with all the cruelties of war, but I also can’t wait for you to keep unfolding them. Well, it’ll be an agonizing week till your next update. :) Author's Response: Hello Annora! Hmm, yes, a reprimand would have been good. I admit I did not think to throw that in - I was so focused on the story! Glad to hear you enjoyed it! Yeah, war medals are such a mixed back. Some want them, others want nothing to do with them, or at least from people I've talked to. Cheers!
Author's Response: Thanks for the feedback!
Author's Response: Thanks for the feedback, Manfredd!
Very intriguing story and I am anxious to see where you go with it. I am curious to see what happened to Snape to make him have nightmares and be so anxious. Author's Response: Thanks for the review! Yeah, I can't wait to start posting the real guts and gravy of the story, once it gets into the past a little. Cheers!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for reviewing! I am very glad that this story is interesting to you. More shall come next week!
As for the story itself: I really like the initial set up, the brief glimpse into the summer life at Spinner’s End (a special thanks for Eileen Prince) and the reminiscences of a troubled past. Even at this early stage the story feels real. Oh, and making Severus the narrator, thus allowing your readers to learn his innermost thoughts directly from the most credible source was a brilliant idea! Keep up the good work, I’ll definitely keep coming back! :) -- Ann Author's Response: Oh wow, thank you Annora! I am so glad you are liking it, and my little bit of additional info too. And yes, the wounded hero's psyche is fascinating - I have a bit of an obsession with that actually. Haha, and you are welcome for Eileen. She's fun! I just wish I could incorperate her more than just every so often. I am also pleased you liked Severus being the narrator. I felt he needed to be, and in first person like that. CAnd more shall come for you to read as long as you wish to follow along! ;)
Severus really should have told Harry before the train ride. Author's Response: Yes, he does. That was years ago, and it has gotten a bit better, but not completely. But yes, he sure should have told Harry before! Thanks for reviewing!
Author's Response: Howdy! Thanks for the review. Hope it stays intriguing! ;) |
