Dobby Elf Lord has some amazing stories but I consider this one to be his greatest. The summary is so frustratingly shallow compared to how the story ends up. It seems more like the summary is for the first few chapters. Without spoiling anything more than what Dobby Elf Lord wanted with his summary I will say this, once it really gets going it just builds and builds and just gets better and better. The fight scenes are quite good especially when it gets into the WWII part of the story. Harry isn't superharry yet more than a match for most wizards. In my opinion the best part of this fic is atmosphere of the war. There is alot more than just dueling other wizards, there is the spy network which is very dangerous work, agents on both sides, death, capture, psychological warfare, stealth and action. The emotional side of the story is also quite well done. Due to the whole in the past thing Harry's only choice for romance is with an oc but Dobby Elf Lord makes this work quite well.
Character spoilers for about chapter 2-4 or so (of 39)**
Spoilers be here. Tom becomes a very nicely written character when he becomes part of Harry's family and seeing some of the issues he has growing up really makes you think about the power of a positive action. The Father/Son relationship that Harry and Tom have really brings a new aspect to the war that is going on around them.
end spoilers**
For a few final words I will simply say leave yourself a bit of time to read this because once you start you won't be able to stop!
A lot more than meets the summary
