evilstorytellerI finished it. Overall, I really did like it- it was better than I expected.
Certainly, I was not expecting the body count in this one. Strangely, I wasn't really bothered by any of it- unlike Sirius's death, which was upsetting. These deaths were like, "Meh. Let's move on." I did like the stuff with Snape, which pretty much confirmed what everyone guessed at after the last book. I also figured he would be one of the people to die. However, it would have been nice for the reveal involving him not to be delivered via pensieve/memory dribbling out of him as he dies. I don't mind the epilogue- although I think the writing gets a bit messy- as if we are already familiar with these new kids- and we are not... we're familiar with their parents. So it seems a bit muddled and confusing when you try to piece together who is being addressed. At least that's how it seems to me. She can probably get away with writing more books, the end not only leaves room for more books (having to do with the kids), or more books that cover the intervening 19 years between the end of book seven and the epilogue.
