My oh-so-humble thoughts
As usual, KJ has managed to write a completely badass fic. I absolutely LOVE this story. It’s a complete role reversal-Eric has the “curse” this time, though there is a twist.
I love the dynamics of the characters-she nails every single one of them (though is that really a surprise to anyone??) in a way that is OOC, but not. Like, the character’s personalities are switched around, but consistent. It’s very odd, but totally compelling.
Here’s a secret (ha!): I was an extremely weird kid and teenager. I spent most of my formative years wanting to be a forensic pathologist, so I was all googly eyed over this incarnation of Eric. So yeah…it’s totally worth the read. And keep an open mind cause everything is definitely NOT the same as the books or show. :)
So hop on over to her wordpress and take a gander. It’s frickin amazeballs!! And of course leave her love…or Skarsporn. I’m pretty sure she’d enjoy the Skarsporn more. :P
I loved this story when I read it. You’re right on, she absolutely nails the characters with a different twist that doesn’t make them seem unfamiliar in any way. Great review!

This is the kind of story than even readers who don’t like AH will be able to enjoy. And everything you said about her wonderful writing skills was dead on..
