I kind of did a little speed reading on it and finished it 5 hours after it came out. I personally really liked it. I guess I just didn't like how much she invented in this novel. It seems like she needed to make something fit, so she invented something (i.e. Occlumancy). I feel like she tells the story, but she doesn't indulge us in the world of Harry Potter enough. So now, maybe she didn't invent those things, but it feels like she did because there's so little I know about the world.

Don't get me wrong, I thought it was a great book. A very good addition to the series. I think this was my favorite in the series, just because it is so radically different from the rest. I just prefer a book that puts you more in depth with the Politics, Religions, and Customs of the world. Take the Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan for example (INCREDIBLE SERIES: MUST READ FOR ALL OF YOU). The first book is the Eye of the World, in which you really know nothing at the beginning, but as you progress it really makes you feel like you're there.

As a matter of fact, I've been known to slip and use a cuss phrase from the books and truly feel like I had expressed myself. Which is useful, because I didn't actually swear, but I got that satisfied feeling I sometimes get when I feel like a cuss word helped me express myself.
