I've been following this story since its creation. It was an interesting idea. There are so many stories about reincarnation in Harry Potter. I found a story that broke away from that pattern. This story has someone who was born into one of the most powerful and influential families in our world, died, and was reborn in the body of James Potter (Harry Potter's father). At first, I was very excited because this was definitely a story with great potential to surpass all the stories in the Harry Potter universe. From the beginning to chapter 200, it didn't disappoint for a single day. Every day I was anxious, counting down the hours until the next chapter. I confess that I loved this story. Its idea, characters, and plot were definitely the best I've ever read. But unfortunately, it ended this way. I don't know if the author was in a hurry to finish it so he could focus on his other stories. But from the beginning, I believed in the enormous potential of this story. Unfortunately, it ended and the author left out so many events that could have made James Potter's story even more interesting. Like the grieving process over Peter's death, or how the conflicts between Gwen's family, James and his friends enter their fifth, sixth and seventh years at Hogwarts, and how the world reacts to Gwen and James' relationship, or with some political events with the Ministry and how James gathers allies to fight the Death Eaters, or how James helps Severus become the Lord Prince, and the interactions with Narcissa, Bellatrix and the Black family, and also the future of James and Gwen's children. So many events that the author could have put in the story, but unfortunately the story ended. But I really believe in the potential of the author and his stories. I hope that James Potter's story has a continuation, at least telling us about James and Gwen's wedding.
