So I've started reading this on my vacation, and I can only guess the author is not a native speaker of English because the sheer number of boneheaded malapropisms is beyond anything I might expect from a poorly educated native speaker. Characters "drawled" their wands? A chessboard is called an "exchequer"? And the grammar/usage is awful, and there are missing words in nearly every sentence. It's a pity, because it's such an intriguing alternate Harry Potter verse and I dearly want to find out the point of divergence. But the writing is so bad I frequently want to stop reading and delete it from my kindle, and I have absolutely no faith the author will even bother to even suggest why its 'verse so different from canon.
