What a fabulous romance! I love Millicent, the life she's made for herself, and the dresses. (Would you please let her know I'll invest willingly, too, especially if she makes me something for Diacon?)
Snape is still spot-on Snape, and I adored the whole backstory, the Slytherin friendships, the post-war atmosphere with all the feelings of discomfort that are still around.
