I’m a huge fan of the Harry Potter series so I was looking forward to jumping into the world again. Sadly, this journey was disappointing. I’m going to try and not spoil a lot of things, but I can’t guarantee that it won’t reveal something you may want to read for yourself, so please continue reading at your own risk. The story basically begins with the epilogue from Deathly Hallows. I didn’t mind the epilogue, but, like most readers, I wanted more. Especially because I […]
Squirrel Agility Ability

This short novella is set between Chimes at Midnight and The Winter Long (books 7 and 8 of the series) and thus will contain spoilers for just about everything previous. It concerns the revelation of Quentin’s parentage […]
