Glorious fun :D

This is going to be one of those fics I have a love-hate relationship with. By all accounts I should love it. It has creepy, sarcastic, manipulative Peter who obviously care for Stiles. It has badass, morally grey Stiles, with darker grey than usual.

And yet I want to throw my ereader at a wall.

It was a five stars read at one point, a two stars at another, a four stars at a third one. I'm settling for three stars and not thinking about it again.

3.5 not a big fan of reading about domestic violence.

Не е лошо написана, но е страшно скучна.

It's a miracle - I read a first person fic till the end and I enjoyed it. A lot.

The stars were aligned, it was a new spin on a favourite trope of mine, there's an exam coming this week, and my fondness for Stiles surpassed my antipathy towards first person POV.

For someone's who's already lived more than a hundred years and went back in time on purpose, Stiles was surprisingly inept and slow on the uptake compared to the Stiles in other time travel/alternate universes fics. Just saying.

Something was off and I couldn't enjoy this at all even though I can't put my finger on what exactly didn't work for me.

I need to know what happens next, ffs!

Definitely not for me.

I read this in one sitting, and it isn't short. I liked it very much a lot. 5 stars, will read again.

4.5

Awesomeness.

Delicious.

The No Cannibalism tag makes me laugh every time I think about it.

I have mixed feelings about this one but I adored the ending.

Well, that punch in the gut was unexpected. One thing is certain, though - I am about to read a ton of short stories.

It's not what you'd call unptoblematic but it's also pretty awesome.

4.5

I was right, this was so much fun.

  IC characters interesting plot
  Zimata idva- very weird mistakes at times. Repeatedly. Like the use of marked instead of market. Lap partner. Pavati. Flickwick.
  they is doing something. The author wrote a long story with a very decent plot, how are sentences like that still a thing? Basically, it needs some editing.flashbacks are in a confusing POV. Assuming it's Harry's account on events, it should be first person, unreliable narrator.
  *that wtf scene with the Slytherin Patil and the shop which was so wrong and completely unnecessary. Whyyyy?
  
  
  It could have been a 5 stars read, but right now it isn't. Better than the last three drarry fics I read but I still couldn't get lost in the story. Sigh. My recent quest for a decent drarry fic goes on.

It was awesome for two seconds and had the potential to be brilliant all around but that somehow got lost in the painful politeness and the end result was just okay.

aka the book that made me tick almost all my shelves.

S.U. Pacat (on LJ): BUT I can report that I'm at a really fun part of the book right now. I think I like Laurent best when he's being an absolute bitch to everyone.

Gold bracelets and awkward intimacy aside, I couldn't agree more. :D

Still, he would not for the world distress Laurence by behaving badly. As always, the thought of his captain woke a secret glow of deep, proprietary satisfaction; he spared a moment to rub his nose over the great pearl-and-sapphire pendant which he wore, Laurence's gift.

Rarely a book bores me so much.

It felt both refreshing and like a deja-vu somehow. I like the dragons, a lot. Would have liked it better if they could shif their shape to human once in a while, ahem. So that Temeraire could read, of course.

David, you annoy me so.

Justin and Evan would have gotten along like a house on fire.
