Rowling's abilities as a storyteller shine through in this final installment (totally enthralled with the preliminary exposition of the Hallows legend!!! Made me feel like a little kid again--teehee). I am glad there are not more Potter stories coming though, only the rumored encyclopedia. I love it when a creator leaves plenty of room after finishing a work of art for the thing to speak for itself. Rowling had that achieved in the last chapter, then almost ruined it for me with the Epilogue! But I forgive her. Hope she'll move on to a new genre sooner rather than later...and I mean that completely as a compliment. Writing teen/ young adult lit is harder! She's won my respect, for what it's worth.
OK- I will be the first to admit that I started on this series in between books, and because March had a special where you bought book 5 and got 6 for free for Kindle. I liked them enough to go back and read books 1-4. I am now on book 4 and, I must admit, that it is a revelation to me! Strange, I know. How can a werewolf/action/romance/fluffy book be a revelation? Well, I guess because I have read enough about Kitty, that now I have gotten to #4, I identify with her. In book 4: "Kitty and the Silver Bullet", Kitty is facing many life obstacles: a miscarriage, her mom's battle with breast cancer, a former pack alpha's abuse of a girl in the pack, her talk show, and many other things that crash down on life. This is fiction and, lets face it: it is about a werewolf. But in a revealing conversation with her mother, Kitty's mom spoke some important truths about life. I have a lot going on in my life as well right now and Kitty's moms words went straight to my heart. Isn't this one of the coolest things about a book? When the words you are reading strike a cord with what is going on with your life? I actually used my Kindle's highlight feature so that I can find these words again easily! (Yea, Kindle!) Anyway, I just thought that I would share that. For those of you interested, Kitty is very much like the Stephanie Plum character. Funny, witty, finds herself in strange situations that she wishes she weren't in. I would venture to say that if you like Stephanie, you will like Kitty as well.
