Hello Don!! So good to see you!
I am getting ready to enjoy a lazy dinner of sandwiches. To be honest, it is not too hot today, but I did not feel like turning on the oven or anything else to cook. So cold dinner tonight.

Hey there!
I have not read everything in the DF spoilers yet. But I wanted to drop by and say hello!
I enjoyed the book though I kept expecting Harry to wake up, find out it was a dream, but one that gave excellent ideas to resolve his problems. I had the impression that everything was resolved way too easy compared to the other books. In some way it felt like Jim wanted to treat Harry better with this book and I like how he did it, but it kind of doesn't fit in with how he approached these things before. I am not talking about the PTSD and depression, this was some really good writing, but everything else.

Welcome back!
I think I understand what you are saying about Twelve Months but I personally had no problems with that.

TBH, the "it was all only a dream" retcon-event was already over-done the very first time it was done!   ::)

Well, after all, Harry deserved to be treated a little better after all what happened .
