Hello, I’m currently rereading a book called Manacled by Stanley Yu. It is not a book, actually, it’s a fanfiction on Harry Potter series, on Hermione plus Draco Malfoy ship, which means they are together in this book. This is an alternative version of the ending of Harry Potter series. It’s a story where Voldemort wins, which leads to a dystopical society in magical Britain. That leads to Hermione Granger, who was on the side of Harry Potter and Dumbledore, to be trapped inside Malfoy Manor. This is a deeply political story, and it has so much to think of, it raises difficult topics. It is a book about love and connection, and I adore it with all of my heart. It is one of the best pieces of literature I’ve ever read. I just love it, I don’t know how to describe it better, I would recommend it to everyone to read. I found out about this book in TikTok, I watched a book talk a lot and people just loved it. It took me about two or three weeks to read it, and now I reread it again because I definitely loved it. It’s a book about war and fight and rebellion and romance, and I really want to find something similar to read. I’m craving a similar book, however I’ve never seen something like that before, and hope that this book will be published officially.
