Oh, the epilogue sucks sooo much, more and more as I think about it. Why couldn't JKR just let things be?!

I've just spent 2 hours reading fandom reactions, and most of my friendslist is hating on the book, so I don't know if you'd like it at all. I was just happy it wasn't the dreck HBP was, but this was mainly because shipping wasn't the main theme; there was actual plot! If you resign yourself to the craptastic ships, you can focus on the other stuff.

I went in with no expectations and fully thought it'd leave me cold, so it wasn't hard for the book to gain some win, you know?
