Why you should read this ...
It's a beautiful coming-of-age piece that tells in vivid detail the nightmare that must have been the Hogwarts seventh-years' final school year under the Carrows. The character development is top-rate. The students' defiance is also well-handled, progressing slowly and showing that courage isn't simply something flashy that happens all at one go.
