Well, that didn't go as planned...

Picked up Harry Potter 6 yesterday at library. Lost cable and intarweb last night, decided to start reading it around 9:30, figured it'd be a nice early night.

Finished it at 3am.

<snape>Curse you, Potter!

True. I was impressed with how amazingly bitchy she made Potter. He was such a putz. It would have been nice to see a nod to that in 6, even an internal recognition, but I guess the lack of it is pretty true to life as well.

Yeah, even if he hadn't recognized the general problem, he could maybe have apologized to *somebody* for a specific instance.

Oh, well. M. and I consider it the _Teckla_ of the series--a book that had to happen, that built the character in important ways, and that provides essential setup for the final apotheosis, but that isn't much fun as a standalone work.

Though Brust at least made you feel bad *for* Vlad, instead of pissed *at* him.
