Those who like me love harry potter essentially the psychology of characters will not be disappointed with this sixth volume. Rowling has decided to focus on this aspect to relegate action (which would probably in 7) in the background. This book is dark, poignant, incredibly well written and we are surprised to feel extreme emotions by reading it. In the end, if a response is a key issue is finally made, one is left with new questions and impatience to have the Volume 7 in hands for the final stretch.
