Hyatt Bass' The Embers
A fairly run-of-the-mill book about a family with a tragic past and the grown-up daughter on the verge of marriage. Fairly boring. B/B-.
I also saw the HP6 movie today, and had mixed feelings about it. I'm not entirely a purist for the text--I understand the need for changes to get the story to flow in a short amount of time--but some of the changes they made just baffle me. The visuals were amazing, the teen romance stuff was great, but the backstory was sorely lacking and there wasn't a lot of intensity. It felt pretty choppy, actually. Everyone else I was with liked it, so take my negativity with some grains of salt. :)
