## My Thoughts on Necromancers Guide to Magic Okay, so I dove into "Necromancers Guide to Magic" with a healthy dose of curiosity, and I have to say, it's been a bit of a rollercoaster. The premise itself is pretty intriguing: a necromancer thrust into the world of Harry Potter. The idea of seeing that universe through such a different lens definitely grabbed my attention. ### First Impressions Initially, I was a little put off. The writing felt a bit rough around the edges, but I've noticed it seems to be improving as the story progresses. It felt like I was reading a rough draft and not a polished story. ### What Works Well The core concept is where this novel shines. The author has created a world with a very interesting twist. It's fun to see how a protagonist steeped in necromantic arts navigates the familiar halls of Hogwarts. I appreciate the potential for exploring the darker, more mysterious aspects of magic that the original series only hinted at. There's a real opportunity to delve into the ethics and consequences of different magical systems, and I'm hoping the story continues to explore that. I think the author has done a good job making the main character evil, like a proper necromancer should be. I also like the idea of the MC not knowing anything about Harry Potter, it's an interesting touch. ### Areas of Concern My main concern lies in the originality. While the premise is exciting, there are moments where it feels a little too close to the original Harry Potter storyline. I am worried that the story will follow the original Harry Potter series too closely. I would hate for the author to not explore a world outside of Harry Potter. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning There's a scene where the protagonist kills a kid and raises him as an undead servant. ### Final Verdict "Necromancers Guide to Magic" is a story with potential. If you're a die-hard Harry Potter purist, this might not be your cup of tea. But if you're open to a darker, more twisted take on the wizarding world, it could be worth a read. I am hoping the author can improve on the writing and create a more original story.
