Deathly Hallows without Spoilers
In contrast to Book Six, I found "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" to be one of the better Harry Potter books. While it moved slowly at times in the beginning, it made up for that in its satisfying conclusion. And a useful epilogue gives us details on where the main characters go in the future.
But this is a very dark story, and I would not be comfortable recommending it to younger readers. As was well publicized before the book's release, JK Rowling gave us no easy victory. A surprisingly large number of people paid with their lives to help Harry defeat Voldemort.
More to come on this once I've given people a chance to read the book.
