This is another one of those books where I wish I wasn't listening to the audiobook. Not because it's confusing, I feel like I'm following pretty fine and if I happen to zone out for two seconds and Billy is in Tralfamadore again then I'm just elevating the text.

Some of the lines are just really interesting and I'd like to sit with them more. The prose is very well executed, I'm living for it.

But the audiobook is really good too so like I'm not gonna stop listening to it. Might just have to circle back around at some point.

“We will be spending the gold on a summer holiday in Egypt, where our eldest son, Bill, works as a curse breaker for Gringotts Wizarding Bank.”

A truly, poorly advised financial decision. Where can you spend that money when you could apparate/floo travel everywhere? When there's magical tent that could easily contain all family members? Do they really eat THAT much?

Here's my pre-read thoughts: I just picked this up from the library at a whim when I brought back my old rented book. I don't really know much about this series besides that it's iconic and a part of 3 quests LOL.

My mom said it was good, so let's hope she was right😭. I typically really enjoy thriller books so I'm actually quite excited, and the high ratings seem promising. I'll start reading when I get home!
