Reactions and Reviews

The trilogy centres on Maud Moody, an original character with all the classic hallmarks of a Mary Sue: the niece of an established character, with a deep emotional bond with Snape. I'm not quite sure how Rebecca did it, but Maud never grates -- her personality is plausible, and her story -- essentially a romance-cum-coming-of-age -- runs in parallel with Harry's, without trying to take over.[4]
