Rise of the Technomancer
This is a
story I should not review, for it carries the capital sin of Hermione Bashing
(“the Beaver and her pet weasels...”).
And not the usual R/Hr bashing, no.
As a matter
of fact, a sensible Hermione bashing, my favourite character being pictured as
the epitome of the selfish egotistical bint, power-hungry to the point of
endorsing and even actively helping (mo)Ron as a bully.
Apart from
the twins, the whole young Weasleys are down in flames in this story : “Bill had no substance. He was like his
clothes, flashy, yes, expensive, yes, but as for substance, it was as thin as
the bruised dragon leather of his leather pants, shiny on the outside, but
absolutely no meat on the inside.”
The story
is a multiple betrayal (Harry is prosecuted after the DOM battle in a last
manipulation by Fudge, stripped from all his belongings and spends a month in
Azkaban. Once back, he’s not happy and hells slowly breaks loose…), with a
Harry/Gabrielle soul bond, Dumbledore trying to fix his past failures, a
terrible McGonagall (highly delusional), muggle technology (as the story title
suggests) and Neville Longbottom as a key character.
Lots of
consideration on subversion and righteous
anger.

to happen…
