...is just so massively interesting! I am so happy Catherine stumbled into my Review Thread some time ago and dropped this gem in! 

Where to start? 

I am that much into sports stuff, and so Quidditch just doesn't usually feature on my list of interests when it comes to reading fanfic. However, the stakes in this one are high, because England has managed to fight its way through to the World Cup with a decent chance at succes. And the way Catherine weaves the matches and training into the story is done really well and is perfectly balanced with the rest of the story.

The team is made up of very intense and competitive people with a lot of things to say and even more things on their mind. There is one cheeky Mr. Potter, a character that is often on the line between being great in fanfic or just a bit too much, but I think you will love Catherine's James. I definitely do. He is funny without being mean, he is cocky without being a douche, and there's secrets that he has that you will want to know, badly. 

Then there is the main character, Silver Krieger, a girl with a power or two up her sleeves, that turns the whole premise of the story upside down. I don't want to just spoil it, because the way Catherine introduces this strange wonderful element in her first chapter is really cool. But yeah, her special ability creates a whole new level of character interaction and relationship development that is super fresh and new!

The characters are super fun to read, there's a whole ensemble of compelling OCs, and there is this sweet and wonderfully annoying and rising tension that will make you very happy and eager to click on each new chapter. Catherine has amazing pacing and flow in her writing. It's funny, it's unique, it's honestly a joy to read!
