80% of the way through, and I stalled out. I just couldn't force myself to keep reading. I really wanted to like this, but it failed to sustain my interest through to the end.

I would have to say that I enjoyed this book by far the most out of the three in the series. It was the first one to really give depth to the characters, making it not just an interesting plot, but also a story in which you feel somewhat connected to the characters. For fan fiction, this was quite well-done!

Ahh another Potter book down. This one was quite enjoyable. Nice twists and imagination. I was glad I read "The Girl on the Dock" before I read this book. Adds quite a bit of extra insights. Not nessessary but helpful.

Tercera entrega de la saga FanFiction de Lippert

James Potter se enfrenta a retos mucho más grandes en una nueva escuela mágica llamada Alma Aleron, ubicada en Estados Unidos. Allí, yace un artilugio muy poderoso conocido como La Bóveda de los Destinos, cuya protección es esencial para evitar la destrucción de la humanidad si cae en malas manos.

En Alma Aleron, James empieza a descubrir el enigma que esconde su amiga Petra Morganstern. Las acciones más simples que ella realiza podrían conllevar enormes consecuencias.

La trama se adentra en un gran dilema: ¿será necesario y "bueno" desvelar el mundo mágico a los muggles? ¿O, por el contrario, implicaría subyugar a los que no tienen magia por el simple hecho de tener el "poder"?

A medida que avanza la serie, la historia va adquiriendo tintes oscuros. El protagonista deberá asumir su destino con responsabilidad si no quiere ver sufrir a sus seres queridos.

My one and only comment for this review: the denouement kept me breathless until the conflict was over. Excellent twists and turns. This one is purely it's own genius and not a bit, except for three trespasses, are Rowlings vision. Bravo G. Norman Lippert!!!

Longer than the other two but much more detailed, i feel. I hated it for one reason - it made me cry! Multiple times. For every other reason i love it. It is officially my favourite of the three.

Unfortunately, it also made me relive the tragic moments of many HP books, hence the crying, as well as the shocking end. I really held out hope until the last line.

I only have one problem. I didn't write a review of book 2, because i was waiting to see if book 3 would answer my question...it didn't! What were the three words that James wrote down on book 2, after his dream about Albus? That is really annoying me as it's the only unanswered question i have from all three books. I have guesses but i really want to know what they were, to know if i was right or not.

Otherwise, i loved it, loved it, loved it. So much more like HP than the other two and yet, the other two were very much like HP. I'm not sure how it's done but it's genius. I enjoy the reappearance of HP characters long missed and never really given a real ending in HP, and where they fit in JP, seems absolutely perfect because we already know who they are and that it's a great place for them to be.

What i'd like to know, is will there be another book? There is a space for it. The tragic ending doesn't need to stay that way...if * was the thread, then it's very possible for things to be resolved after another, hard year, of putting everything right and taking down W.U.L.F. and their new leader???

An incredibly long book, and I found it quite hard going. Definitely not a page-turner, because I kept putting it down out of sheer exhaustion! Glad I read it - but glad it's over, now.

This is my least favorite of the series.

The beginning felt like it dragged on for freakin' ever and the ending felt so insanely rushed. However, my real problem with the book was how the author chose to depict Alma Aleron. Much of the details of the school included very stereotypical American things (sororities, frats, beer, etc.) that it almost seemed like the school was a joke. Including the stereotypes would have been fine, but he did it in such a demeaning way that it wasn't enjoyable. It ended up feeling like lazy writing and I found myself rolling my eyes a lot and wanting to skip ahead. All in all, I wasn't impressed this time.
