Gorgeous story. The ending was perfect, having Snape get his just rewards. :)

There's so much that I liked about this story that I can't explain. I liked Snape's portrait having a soul and not being able to sleep. I liked that he read everything and became an expert in many fields. Him writing books was a nice touch--Severus is an academic in my world.

The complexity of the relationships was perfect. Harry and Severus's ever changing dynamic kept me hooked. Severus told Harry everything I've thought about Ginny, and did it in a much nicer way. *grins*

I'm so very glad Severus could finally say to Albus everything he felt. I've always thought that was a long time coming. I did like Minerva and Severus being friends without the demands of the outside world on them.

Overall, a very cohesive and spell weaving tale.

I had major quibbles with how Snape died, not that he died, but HOW he died, so I felt his story wasn't quite done. And one BIG issue was some sort of resolution with Dumbledore. This, to me, needed to be said, or resolved, or SOMETHING. It was another big of arc that was never successfully dealt with in the series, and, I think, should have been. Would that we had less Gellert and more resolution of lingering questions. Anyway, thanks for the wonderful feedback!
