I've read it more than once and have mixed feelings. Positive - If you must swap four Hogwarts students for the four hobbits partway through the Quest, and then continue on with essentially the same plot this is a very competent effort. There is a fair amount of character growth and development, and as I said, I've enjoyed it enough to read it more than once.
Negative - I still think that on the whole is that a set of different characters really ought to result in more changes to the plot than are shown. When you have the characters, setting, and plot essentially handed to you, what's left?
FanficRecs OK...
