bethbethbeth [Added: 06/13/04 | Dumbledore Snape]A fairly short tale, told in second person, that follows Severus Snape during the last few days of the war against Voldemort. The story offers a characterization of Snape I very much enjoyed. It’s a bleak portrayal, you can feel Snape’s weariness in your bones, but he doesn’t quit. He may act stupidly, but he never quits. I love that sort of thing. The author does a nice job of laying out a whole lot of story in relatively few words. I had a real sense of the war, Snape’s part in it, and the relationships between various members of the order- without the author having to spoon feed me the information. Lastly, I thought the author did a nice job of setting the mood. It’s not the most skillful use of second person pov I’ve read, and I’m not certain it was the best choice, but the author makes it work to generate a detached air that very much fits this worn to the bone version of Snape. Overall, a good read for any fan of Snape. It’s stylistically interesting and the ending really worked for me- it left me feeling hopeful. YMMV.
