This Changes Everything... It is a year of change and upheaval for the entire Potter family. Harry, as head Auror, has been sent to the United States to help investigate a nefarious underground group whose proclaimed goals are to unite the Muggle and magical world by any means necessary. Unwilling to be separated for the lengthy trip, Ginny insists that family accompany Harry, launching a year long journey to the United States and the American wizarding school of Alma Aleron. Determined to avoid adventure for the term, James finds himself unwittingly pulled into an international incident involving Petra Morganstern, who has accompanied the family to the states along with her younger Muggle step-sister Izabella. Apparently framed for a crime she didn't commit, James, Ralph and Zane must prove Petra's innocence before she is separated from Izzy forever. Complicating matters, however, is the very real possibility that, despite James' growing feelings for Petra, she may indeed be guilty of the crime she has been accused of, and perhaps even worse things. Because Petra, as James slowly learns, is no ordinary witch. Her magic is mysteriously powerful, even without a wand, and headmaster Merlin himself seems wary of her. In the end, James must choose to confront the truth that he has been seeking, knowing that it may well shatter his perception of the girl he loves, and even the stability of the magical world at large.Rating About Books James Potter and the Vault of Destinies (James Potter #3)

I'm 3 books into Lippert's series and it's still very nicely done. In this book, the action shifts to the US as James and his family and friends visit the magical community in Philadelphia and the wizarding school, Alma Aleron. The new environment is painted vividly, and gives Lippert a chance to show what he can do when given free rein to build his own school of magic. It isn't as well-constructed as Hogwarts, but hey, it's an American copy, look what they did to football... Speaking of which,I was disappointed that much of the story was tied in to a spinnoff book that was called "optional reading" by the author. If you don't read that book, there are still mysteries as this story concludes. This one took me a bit longer to get through than books one and two did. It also ended in a much darker place than I think stories in the Rowling universe should get, at least this early in the series.I really enjoyed the glimpse of the American wizarding world offered in this book. I found the
While this story is very long, G. Norman Lippert pulls together the threads from his two (and a half) previous installments, weaving the whole series into a much richer tapestry than I initially expected. Some of the plot is obvious and some parts tedious (enough that I set the story aside for a couple months out of boredom when it dragged), but it becomes complex enough to be worth it. Lippert's writing style is not my favorite, but his tactics and twists remind me very much of the original
Honestly, this book took a while to really get into it. Right from the beginning you learn that James, Albus, Ralph, and Lucy will not be attending Hogwarts, but will be attending Alma Aleron. For some reason I just was not as fascinated with this school as I had been when I first read about Hogwarts. It was interesting, yes, but just not fascinating. The story was building for a long time, so much so that it was hard to stay entirely interested in where it was going because it just seemed to
James Potter and the Vault of Destinies is the continuation of the famous Harry Potter books (Third in it's our series). Harry's oldest son James is starting his first year at Hogwarts and starts to worry. He doesn't know if he can live up to the man that is his father. His father the hero, the boy who lived twice, the man who defeated the dark lord. James is expected by the whole of the wizarding world to either surpass or be equal to his father, and that is what worries James. This story was
The most difficult thing about infusing theological concepts into literature, is either that one gets too heavy-handed and preaches, or one loses the Truth in the 'truth' inherent in the world of the novel. With this third (final?) telling of the Potter universe, the author succeeds in grasping the truth of the novel, but in doing so, gives validity to the Lie that (as Wm. Gilbert said) "Virtue is triumphant only in theatrical performances." The main evil character should have been Lilith,
Definitely the author's strongest work in his own voice. I am amused to see Ginny turning into her mom, and I love seeing Harry as a real dad. Albus is developing decently; I hope to see more personality out of Lily at some point. The next book is already loaded and ready to go! Hope to see this series get through the full plot arc!I had a little bit harder of a time getting through this one - but I think that was much more on me than on the writing (I picked up knitting-while-reading, and then
