What I liked about the book.
I liked-
- The flow of the book with unexpected twists and turns in the plots and many layers of the story.
- All characters have flaws that make them more relatable. Even though the book is of the fiction genre, the characters make it seem real life like.
- Detailed descriptions of places and events that literally made it come alive like a movie in front of my eyes.
- The thought of creating a story with so many characters and each one of them having an important part to play in the story even if it was small. Like the role of Neville Longbottom. He is shown as a friend of Harry Potter who is forgetful and timid. But he proves his bravery in the final battle.
