Feeling a bit flaky today.
Went back up the hill after Dark Angel to finish HP and watch sunset. Slightly to my surprise there was a party going on, hundreds of people milling around, music...
.. and a free bar. Result!
I did eventually finish HP. Better work than previously, though I still found it a bit lacking in some places. Quite significantly dark, more so than before certainly. Certainly a buy in hardback, for one thing, it's so fat the paperback is destined for a short life. Now reading Shadowmancer, which is quite gripping: Moonfleet (if anyone but me remembers that) crossed with Alan Garner; and Love in the time of cholera.

HP

I have two major grievances with the new HP:
a] She polished off the most obvious candidate.
b] The plot device to evoke that extra bit of pathos was so utterly cliched that I saw it coming a mile off and kept on thinking, 'oh no, please don't do that..'

Yeah, I thought obvious too... Though he was only one on my shortlist of three. Am somewhat surprised and impressed you got hold of a copy on day of isue by the way.
