3.5 It had the potential to be much darker and have more substance. It seemed that the darker aspects of the story, which were, for me, what made the story compelling, were kind of sugarcoated. For example, the characters were much too cheerful when yanking out fingernails or barely surviving a killing curse. The lighthearted tone and of the characters didn't exactly fit the darker tone of the plot. However, despite this, I still ended up really enjoying this book. Full review soon.
