Look. I love this series. Clearly I do, because this is the 7th book. This is also my favorite of the series.
SPOLIER SPOILER SPOILER
I. Am. Over. The. Will. They. Won't. They. Story. Line. Over it. Humans do not live like this. I mean, thank fuck strike FINALLY fucking said something at the very end, but now we've got to wait for a whole other book??? I honestly don't even want to read the next book because of this shit. Either piss or get off the pot because I AM DONE.
And the body shaming in this book. The constant pointing out of how chunky or how many rolls or how tight the clothes are? Just gtfo with that nonsense. That's not something any of these characters have done before this book.
The slight homophobic phrases of "his hair was long like a dandy"? Not in line with the characters.
The last book was clearly JKR/RG venting their spleen over internet trolls. Now we are venting our spleen over body image. If it was in line with the characters, fine, I guess but it's not. Just let me have my fucking detective series without that crap.
Thank you for allowing me the space to vent. These books are incredibly well written, they are some of my all time favorite books. But my God, let's move forward or move on.

Feeling privileged to live in the same time as JKR. This one was just perfect. She put her world building skills to excellent use in crafting the church, its mythology and traditions. The plot points were woven with such dexterity. Thank you for another magnificent journey.

Robin goes undercover to infiltrate a church/Cult. That was enough to look forward to the book release. 1000+ pages of high quality writing. The build up to the event of her getting in is itself crafted well. The plot build up is nice and slow. Of course as expected there are too many characters either appearing or mentioned who jump in and out of the storyline at different timelines. It's all a bit much to take care of but that's the highlight of this series.
The wrap up is a little underwhelming but fine to still merit a 5 star review.
