i'm intrigued by the hints and rumors of doom surrounding the end of if you are prepared, which i've been going through, but it's losing me fast. i don't think i can stand to read the ending. there are so many elements essential to a really complete, outstanding story. it's practically impossible to find a snape as believable as cybele's in the first two parts of this story. her command of his voice and viewpoint i found nearly flawless. unfortunately, around the time the plot started shuffling in circles talking to itself and seeing things, the characterization not entirely coincidentally started slipping also. i just can't maintain suspension of disbelief any longer. and on the other hand, i can't not give this a high recommendation. perhaps i'll just rec the first parts. ::sigh::
