So guess what I just finished?
Yes indeed:
I couldn't resist, it was squealing for me when I was in the bookstore the other day.
The verdict: There's some pretty good stuff here. Not the caliber of DT, but it's also much different. It's a bit more YA than I would have obviously preferred, but I understand that she's writing for a target age group. And the ending will make you want to kill yourself. No joke. I guess it's not THAT much of a cliff-hanger, but it's...well. Maybe you'll see.
On a not so similar note...Deathly Hallows cover art! So exciting!
