Easily a top 10 read of 2020. This book was beautifully written and kept me on my toes.  I cannot wait for the next installment.

I bought a hardcover. After reading it I wish I haven’t. Wanted to DNF it was so boring. Fanfics that are this close to the original work should not be published. 

If the fic was good it’s because readers were already familiar with the characters and world. As a reworking it lacked the world building and character development.
