mcepl chapter 39 . 1/14/2019
This is really interesting and very uncommon (which is meant as a compliment). Couple of things to note:

1) Too long and too convoluted. We are in the chapter 39 and it feels like the proper plot line of story starts only now. Previous chapters were nice reading, but there was still that feeling "And what's the point of this story?". Also, it seems like you made your families and relationships so convoluted that aside from people using complicated computer programs just to keep afloat in the endless stream of names, you himself feel like giving up, and the last couple of changes there is no proper story (with dialogs, situations, etc.), but just a summary of the plot. As with almost all fanfiction severe cutting down would be helpful.

2) I am a practising Christian myself, so I always enjoy fanfiction stories where heroes are believers themselves. So, it is lovely to see all those families of faithful Orthodox believers. Except, this is classical example of "show, don't tell". How does their faith presents themselves to the world, aside from all baptisms and funerals? Is it something more than that? Since I first read about Sirius Black was a godfather of Harry, I couldn't loose from my mind an image of Sirius in the medieval church of Saint Jerome in Godric's Hollow. Seems a bit surreal. Perhaps it was just very formal and unfeeling ceremony for Potters, but what if it wasn't? Lily praying for the God's protection from Voldemort? Or would she rather pray for strength to do what's right and not just what's easy? It seems like Lily Potter was very thoughtful and honest person, would she submit to doing just formal ceremony for the sake of being "as others are"? That feels more like Petunia, doesn't it? All those Christian, did they ever feel remorse, ask for forgiveness, forgiving? It would be interesting. And no, "Hogwarts School of Prayer and Miracles" is an abomination!

Your story is great and I really enjoyed all of the background you are giving the characters. However this chapter is really rough. It is full of typos, repeated sentences, and spelling and grammar mistakes. These errors make it hard to read and distract from the story. I would recommend that you go through your chapters and clean them up or find someone to do it for you.

Wow. So much, too much, to comment on without thinking about everything for a bit lol. I do hope that Ivan and the others can do something to help Violet (and Vernon) keep away from Mstslav...and get rid of him...soon. I'm glad Lilic decided to write her father about it.

I adore this story so much for the intricate family histories. One of my pet peeves, however is spelling and consistency in names.
In previous chapters, Konstantin's wife is called Margaritka, in this chapter however, it's changed to Margarkia. Also, you changed Gloria's middle name from Lily to Philippa. I remember this name because I actually made a visual family tree on FamilyEcho to keep track of every character.
Also, the tribe in New Zealand is Maori, not Mario.
*adds new family tree for the Flitwicks* Too bad Flitwicks parents aren't named (yet). :P

update soon
Erimenthe chapter 38 . 8/16/2017
Wow so much in this one. I hope the girls get the help they need and will be ok. I hope that Melvin will be placed with a loving and caring family. I hope Harry and Dennis aren't trapped (or if they are that they find a way out quick) and that Carnation and her child are ok. I can't wait for the next chapter for sure.

interesting family resemblance. :)
Erimenthe chapter 37 . 4/14/2017
This is the most convoluted, infuriatingly wonderful story I've read in quite some time. I love all the little back stories giving such richness to the intermingling of characters we've known and new ones to love. I also love that you've introduced different illnesses and disabilities into it. I was trying to think how they'd react to a witch/wizard that had something like that going on and if they'd be willing to do anything to help or abandon them like they did squibs.

I would love to see a "family tree" of all the connections down through the generations but I don't think anyone could manage that one easily lmao. It might end up looking more like a briar patch instead of a tree.

I also love the fact that you got the free elves in there. Their history sounds like it could be very rich and I'd love to read a story written from their point of view from back then to now that they are becoming free again. I don't think anyone could do it the justice you could (yes this is a blatant hint for a plot bunny to nibble your ankle lmao).

I can't wait to see what the updates will bring. Please hurry?

There are a few duplicate parts in this chapter. Also, it isn't always clear when a new perspective starts.
I'm glad there's a new chapter! I squee'd when I saw it in my inbox, then I boo'd because I didn't have the time to read it right away. I hope the next update will ve sooner.
