Review:
This is a delightful little romp that manages to be hilarious, sensual and romantic all at the same time. There are a couple of little surprises thrown in, no I won't tell you what they are! I don't want to ruin them. ;) Lucius is much changed, but with a backstory that makes sense. This isn't another story of 'the evil Death-Eater sees Hermione and immediately falls in love and relinquishes his evil ways'. One of my favorite things about Lucius is we don't know how or why he took the Dark Mark or really much of anything else about him prior to the start of the series. There is so much space for authors to play around and create their own 'origins story'. In a way this is one of those. The author is able to show you exactly how hard Lucius' life was in just a few short paragraphs without the story becoming heavy or depressing; all the while keeping the momentum of the story going and not losing the fairly lighthearted humorous side.
