Murphy is so great!

I too am really annoyed by Harry's sexism, but sufficiently hooked by the plot&world to keep reading just because I want to know what happens next, and also there are large parts of the books that I genuinely do enjoy.

I did read Peace Talks & Battle Grounds already and I suspect that there are some things you'll enjoy a lot, and others you're probably going to hate. ...well that wasn't very helpful, sorry ^^
