Hey Pix! Transferring some reviews over from the old place...

 

 I love that Neville's daughter is the main character rather than the standard revolving around the Weasleys/Potters. You've done really well with her personality too; I can see a lot of Neville's traits in her like how she has a natural way with animals much like Neville has a way with plants, so that's cool. Also I really like her name!

Your characterisations of the Weasley and Potter children are great as well. I love the way you've described the friendship between Wren and Rose, and Wren and Albus.

So sad to hear about Augusta Longbottom, it must have been so hard for her taking care of Frank and Alice all that time and for them to not recover - that would certainly be draining and take a lot out of you. But I could totally see that being something she would do- after all, she was fighting in the Battle of Hogwarts when she was like 70. It was so sad to see when it all became too much for her. But it is very powerfully written.

Ooh, I am so curious about the light. What is it and why is it making injured animals disappear? especially right afte rshe had taken care of it aww. Why is she the only one who can see it? So many questions. But that's good haha, it makes me want to read on. This is such a wonderful start and I love how you've built up this supernatural-feeling mystery. Great first chapter and I'm so glad I got to read some of your writing! I will definitely be back to read more!

Oh? You keep seeing this story mentioned? Where? It's probably just me, advertising. :) That summary, I'm not sure it was exactly what I was going for, but meh. I can't think of anything better. I'm so glad you found it intriguing!

Hey, you saw some personality crossover from Neville! That's great! I don't think I've come across a "Neville's kid" fic before. I'm sure they're out there, but I haven't run into one yet. I figured it was a great place to play in a fresh sandbox, you know?

Yes, it is sad about Augusta. She is quite old at this point, and I couldn't see her being the snappy, spitfire without something eventually giving way. Wren loves her Gran a lot, so I'm happy that the emotions came through in that section.

Thanks so much for the compliments! I do hope you manage to stumble your way back to this story. It will be going on for some time. I have plans...
