Very fun and engaging overall, but I hate the “breakthrough” cliffhanger only to start the next chapter and they’ve talked about “it” and now have a plan.

Definitely fun and soap-operay, but, goodness, if there aren’t problems that wouldn’t be resolved if the people in the book communicated like real people

Listen, these are always fun, but I have a theory that Rowling’s primary trick is overwhelming you with info early. 2 chapters in, and we’ve been introduced to two new characters, one who speaks of 11 new names, and 3 new unnamed characters. I’m taking notes. I’m determined to guess this one.
