This was far too long. 

I read it to see where she would take Cormoran and Robin, and I’ll give her some stars for that. It was much better than the ink-black heart, and I love Strike and Robin as much as I hate the author. 

I feel like JKR needs to stop putting her real life grievances into her books (last time it was cancel culture, now she has

conflated a scientology-like cult with woke ideology

. Her obsession with fat people and all the fat shaming really needs to stop too.

oudo's review against another edition

0.25

Joanne comes out swinging with her second ~1000 page monstrosity in a yearlong span, and the same issues remain. Her work proves once and for all the necessity of having an editor, and both this book and the one before it can very reasonably be cut in half. 

But even the best editor won’t save this because the art itself is tainted and built solely on hatred. Joanna is a spent creative force, only throwing out incoherent ramblings against whatever LGBT issue has bothered her recently. A bigoted wasteland.
