YMMV / Harry Potter and the Lady Thief

• Broken Base: A persistent one is the length of the story. As of this writing, Voldemort has been finally defeated and Hermione is starting to end her thief training. It took 250 thousand words for this happen. Some readers believe it would be best if the author did a Time Skip
  • The portrayal of Sirius Black, who in canon is shown to have Hair-Trigger Temper and Chronic Hero Syndrome, but here is a promiscuous sleaze, who makes inopportune comments, makes punny jokes and is a master of The Dark Arts (although the last one is probably accurate, considering his family)
  • Also the portrayal of Harry as a Lawful Stupid By-the-Book Cop when in canon Harry was a Rebel Leader who always had a Rebellious Spirit and was willing any rules when necessary. Some readers hope that now that Harry knows that Hermione and Sirius are the Night Nargles team he will rebel against the corrupt Ministry
• Shocking Moments: In a fic so long, it's inevitable but some examples are Chapter 27 (Voldemort is defeat and the war ends) and chapter 62 (Harry deduces Hermione and Sirius are part of the Caper Crew)
