The strongest possible fic rec

[fpb]

No matter whether you are or not actual Harry Potter fans, if you care for good writing at all, and miss reading "Inverarity"'s two Harryverse novels, Alexandra Quick and the Thorn Circle and Hogwarts Houses Divided, you will be kicking yourselves, and you will deserve it. Inverarity creates enormously attractive characters, each brilliantly individual and motivated, and then places them in compelling situations; her cliffhangers are the best I have seen since I first read Dick Francis, and right now, in the unfinished Hogwarts Houses Divided, she has come up with the mother of them all. (Alexandra Quick is completed, but it is only the first of a series.) The writing is delightful, clear, descriptive without being diffuse, and has excellent dialogue; the pacing is superb; and there is that intangible extra, the sense of drive, the storytelling energy, which makes a reader keep reading no matter what. This is not just for Harry Potter fans: it is a first-rate sequel of stories by an amazingly accomplished writer who really should be getting paid for her work.

I've just got in the mood to get back to the HP fandom. Fic recs are great. Care to provide a few links?
