Took me a great deal longer to finish this installment but worth it in the end. I do wish some parts near the end were more fleshed out while other parts, in the beginning, were described in great detail. Temeraire is as always charming and well earned his rank of my favorite character.

Overall mildly interesting throughout but it kept me wanting something more. It offers several anecdotes but seems to glaze over a lot. It felt like the types of stories you would tell on a late night show not a memoir. There were some insightful moments like the comparison of Draco and Harry as characters and touches the surface on celebrity rehab culture. The most cloying part was the several mentions of praise for JKR to be rounded off at the end with a diatribe about online trolls. Very odd for specifically mention negative online experience while praising one of the most hateful influential trolls of the modern age. Was waiting for some pipin hot tea, but alas was lukewarm.

Enjoyed reading this. Im interested to see how the series develops as i plan to read the 2nd book soon. The writing itself was easy to ready and the story was simple to follow. I really lost myself in this and felt like I was wrapped up in a queer hallmark movie.

Content warnings are inaccurate bc there is NOT graphic depictions of sexual assault or rape. Idk why people tagged it for that.
