This is the 43rd book I finished in 2023. This is my first time experiencing it since I was a child.

It's a very well-sculpted world with a cohesive plot. It had a great twist at the end that I wouldn't see coming.

The only time in the whole book Quirrel drops his façade and loses his stutter is when he announces there's a troll in the dungeon.
