Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling

adventurous dark funny mysterious medium-paced

4.0

My 62nd book finished in 2023.

I think this is my favourite in the series so far.

The first half was really strong, but I think the pace dropped a little in the middle. The expositions with Dumbledore and the pensieve dragged a little. Surely Terfy could have written that into the book in a different way?

I love Slughorns character, and getting an insight into everyone's love life was very entertaining. One left to go!
