Yeah, I’m pretty impressed. Slow moving because I’m working a ton these days, but it ... well, it’s smarter, better, faster, stronger than the Harry Potter books to which it is so often - for some reason - compared, despite coming out much earlier.
If only Harry Potter was written this eloquently, the story could have been something, but the actual prose underestimates the attention spans of young readers.
Kinda weird that it’s going to be an HBO show. Think they’re going to up the violence?
