Hello! I read your entire 3-part series in two days (borderline ridiculous, I know). Got very little sleep and essentially just read continuously. I LOVED your version of Severus and Calista throughout the first two stories.

I liked certain parts of the this 3rd one as well, and your quality of writing was as usual amazing. One of my favorite aspects was Severus and Ferada- honestly wish Calista had gotten over her idiotic attitude so we could have seen more of this. At 19 years old, when her father has been alone for literally all of his life, she should have realized that he deserves to be happy as well- and should not have expected him to simply sit around in their house waiting for her whenever she happened to want to see him (it’s unreasonable and seems immature). Severus in a relationship would have been an angle Id loved to see expanded on! However I did actually quite like interaction scenes with Andromeda, Sirius, and Narcissa in this story. It made Calista seem more human and gave her a tiny bit of depth.

For this last part of the trilogy, as much as I loved the entire thing I do agree with the guest VanHeda below me! Calista seemed to have no growth throughout this one, and one of the main lessons she learned in the second part (lying/secrets never help her) went completely out the window. A large theme here was that she kept insisting she was an adult, but never once really seemed to act like one. She actually seemed a bit spoiled here, expecting. anyone and everyone to act and do exactly as she wished which seems out of character from the way she was written before.

Overall though, the trilogy was absolutely fantastic, especially parts 1 & 2. If you do ever find time to bring us an update on this one please do! And please give Severus and Ferada a chance :) That relationship was one I predicted when we first met her, based on the fact that they used first names and we all know Severus deserves some happiness (and at least the semblances of a normal life that he sadly has always missed out on).

I absolutely love this!

I read your story in 4 days. I'm amazed how good it is. It's increadibly realistic, I loved the desciption of Calista's childhood and her school years. I will definitely write huge reviews of them soon, but for now... Let's talk about the newest one.

It's a great piece od writing,much better than 99% fanfics I've read, but somehow not as good as the previous ones. I'm a bit disappointed in Thestrals Calling to be honest. Calista is like 18-19, she expierenced more than most people her age and her behaviour just doesn't show it. In the previous books her struggles with socialazing seemed to be very realistic. Even through she had them she was much more mature about other things than other characters her age. But now I guess I don't think she is responsible or more aware of the worId than other people her age, which is often the case about abused kids in real life. It seems to me that in this part of the story Calista's character is not developing. I mean there is happening so much: she met Sirius, she's close with Andromeda, she started to be aware of her fathers romance with Mrs. Yaxley, yet her thinking is the like since her 6th year at Hogwarts. There's so much going in her mind but she does not draw conclusions of it. She does not think : well Lucius is a deatheater, he probably killed people and auntie was ok with it, dad made a terrible choices. Her main serious thoughts are about defending her father from Sirius, which is not much. Maybe my expectations of this part of the story were different, because I thought she's going slowly into serious adulthood, yet this book is about her constant struggling with things that I guess aspecially people with her expierience have sorted out at this point. But let's say that her behaviour is all a part of her trauma. I can accept that explanation. However there is a thing I can't live with much more than Cali's choices. Gerald and his behaviour. I read comments and many people think the same - he is such a dick sometimes. Actually I think his character - just like Calista - is a victim to Flanderization. He's like 50% french speaking and 40% being soft (because calista obviously needs a tender man, i understand it) and 10% struggle with his father. Outside of that, he is quite often overprotective in an alarming way. We were informed about some kind of a curse and God i hope this is the reason of his behaviour. Anyway, I lost the feeling that Calista is becoming better being with Gerald, which generally is an important feauture of a good relationship.
I'm not sure if I should write anything more. Don't understand it wrongly, you are definitely my fav author from now on. You have great talent. The style of your writing is outstanding, no mistakes in the text or silly literature formulas. I probably wrote you this because myself I value critics more than prices.
I see you have a bit of a break from this story - which is great because it's soooo long and you deserve it. I can't wait for something new - Calista related or not. I love you, really! Take care you talented beast!

Please tell me this is not the end of the book

here in 2020 read all if your fantastic books fron this sereis. to bad theere isntvan ending even though i was excited for the ending.. though ive accepted that it wont come. thank you, its been emersive and accurate . though not perfect a good read

Please update this! I really want to see Calista in ootp.

come on what happened to you! Why did you stop sending out chapters?!
Send out the next chapter out soon like this week!
Don't wait for next ten years before sending another one out!

God i hate Gerald. I can't be the only one. He's not her father, his her boyfriend and i just can't believe in their love - it starts to be so sweet and everything, just not realistic... And I can already tell he will be holding her back. Calista i get everything is shitty but get yourself...

Can you please continue the story it's amazing.

Well, I've just spent the last week reading the whole story, and I'm AMAZED that I didn't find this gem sooner. I have a definite weakness for Severus having children, and I've fallen in love with Calista and her story! I don't know if you've completely abandoned this fic or not, but if you ever decide to keep going, I can promise you'll stilll have at least one avid reader!

I'm quite the angst fan, and angst plus Severus Snape is my ultimate favorite thing to ever read about, so these last two chapters have been particularly great to devour!

I love the story but i would like to know when you will be updating. I see others have asked on wattpad and i was hoping you would respond here. Thank you!

Hi, I just wanted to say that I’ve been reading this fan fiction (both the previous stories) for approximately the last year and a half, and it quickly became my favourite fanfic, the detail, time and effort put into this. I’ve been blown away. I was just wondering if you’re planning on continuing. I'm aware that authors have their own lives and am happy to wait for this brilliant story, I just wanted to know if you have plans. Thank you so much :) Link

I miss this story so much.

Love this story! Wish you would update soon-I miss Calista!

Its been almost a year since I last read this fic and im still so excited for the next chapter. This story changed my life in a way that you can’t imagine. Being a victim of child abuse myself, Calista strength made me see my past in a different way, im not ashamed about it anymore and accept what happened and only bc of that now i can truly embrace who I am.
I now it seems im overestimating the impact your story had on me but im not. I was so young when i first read the part one and something clicked inside of me. I saw my child self in Calista and seeing her growing and living with the “burden” of what happened and still thriving made me feel so empowered. Im so thankful for your story.
I ve never left a review before bc English is not my first language and I didn’t know how to explain how much I like that story. I still don’t but this will do for now. I still hope to be able to tell you more about what this trilogy means to me, the similarity between mine and calistas stories are breathtaking to say the least.
Hope everything is alright with you and this long wait is just life getting in the way and not something bad that might have happened.
