"But Katey," you say. "Remembrance of Things Past is my favorite book. I re-read War and Peace every year. I am not afraid of a long book."
Well, hypothetical reader of my review (not sure who you are, no one reads my reviews), neither am I. If all of the hundreds of thousands of words are used well. And in this case...they're not.
Okay, this is fanfiction. I recognize that. It was written and posted chapter by chapter and not edited as a whole, which leaves me amazed that there is a coherent plot, let alone the overall quite excellent one that was produced. And admittedly, it has fewer typographical, spelling, and grammatical errors than some books I have read that are published and presumably did have a professional editor working on them (the notable exception being the author's use of "insure" when "ensure" is meant. I suppose it could be a valid regional variation, but I looked it up and couldn't find any evidence of that, so I think it's just one of very, very few errors in this, and it is unfortunately repeated often). Where the editing is really needed is in the content. I feel like there are a few conversations that Harry has over and over again with different characters, for example. Yes, it makes sense that he would have to tell these people separately, but it is not valuable to the reader to entirely repeat information that we already know from the last time he told someone. I can remember a few instances of redundancy in dialogue like that. In other places, it probably would have just benefited the book to cut down the overall verbosity.
Sometimes I thought back to something that had happened previously in the series, sure that it had been one or two books ago, and realized it was earlier in the same book. It felt like too much was going on in such a short period of time.
All of that said, I did enjoy it. I will continue to read this series. I just think it could have benefited from having about 10% cut from it, which still would have left it as a long book, but with a better use of that length.… (mer)
