Now let's get on with the review!

1. The Title:

The title is simple but fits the theme perfectly. By looking at the title a reader can have a clear idea what to expect.

2. The Cover:

This is another of the simple covers that I like. It conveys the feel of the story and by a half hidden face of a girl and the splatters of black on the cover, I think it is a brilliant choice for this book.

3. Concept:

The story is based on Titania Lestrange, daughter of the infamous Bellatrix Lestrange. The fact that the author has presented Titania as a Squib is very original and intriguing.

4. Review (includes Summary too):

The story starts when Bellatrix and Rodulphus are sent to Azkaban and their daughter is given into the care of the Malfoys. Titania grows up with Draco but while Draco shows signs of magic, she doesn't and everyone doubts that she's a Squib.

Her status as a Squib is confirmed when Narcissa asks McGonagall whether she would be receiving her Hogwarts letter or not, and after that relations between the elder Malfoys and Titania get strained.

She is made to work as a servant because being a Squib she was considered inferior to the other magic folk. The story follows her through her life at the Manor, the self loathing she experiences and an honest account of her jealousy towards other kids of her age.

What I think:

First and foremost, I'm delighted that someone has finally written about Squibs. The effects her mistreatment has had on Titania is shown considerably well and the writing style in itself is very captivating.

The author has shed sufficient light into the matter of the Squibs and how they are considered vermin by rest of the wizardfolk no matter if they belong to pureblood families even.

Draco's character has also been done justice to and I'm pleased to see that there isn't any case of OOC Syndrome as far as I have read the book.

***

If you are looking for a story that shows the other side of the books that we never experienced and has Squib representation then this is the book for you.

I enjoyed reading your book a lot. It is beautifully written and I love the way with which you have grasped your character's feelings and her emotions. Writing characters in such phases is difficult but you have done a great job with it.

Your idea is also very unique and I look forward to reading more of your book. Best of luck and keep writing in this wonderful way.
