The other reviews seem overwhelmingly positive, but none of them mention the pacing of the story. I only read a few chapters, but it was enough to get an idea of how this story was gonna go. The protagonists are complete Mary Sue's. While they're still toddlers, it's discovered that they're both naturals at the mind arts. At the age of 7, apparently, both protagonists are at the level of 7th year hogwarts students. We're never shown any training or learning, and they've not even received wands yet. They later receive legacy wands, not matched to them, so they should be less efficient and hard to use, but it doesn't really matter for them. Both are suddenly able to use corporeal patronuses. In just a few months, they both become the youngest animagi in history. That's where I decided to drop this story. Development is never shown. There's just short timeskips followed by boosts in power. What's the point of a story like this? Having a character become powerful is nice, but there's no satisfaction if we never get to witness the growth. I was interested because I've not seen many Grindlewald fics, but I'm incredibly disappointed with this.

Thanks for the criticism! Now a few things I'd like to point out. First, in the beginning, I wasn't really sure where this fic was going, so the pacing might not be the best, but I doubt anyone would want to read a fifty-chapter arc about toddlers, so I wrote their progress between some time-skips (If that's your thing, chapters further in the story focus solely on the main character's improvement). The second would be the "Mary Stue" argument. If you've read later chapters, you'd know that's far from true. Also, there's a thing most people seem to overlook, and that's the fact that they have the knowledge of the curriculum and not the magical capabilities to match said knowledge. Anyways, that's about it. 👍
