Career of Evil

Not my favorite in the series, but still extremely good. I'm absolutely in love with this series and I just want to reread all of them over again. J.K. Rowling has this uncanny ability to create the most amazing characters and settings for them and while this is obviously more realistic than Harry Potter, it still felt like the novels took place in a world of their own too. I really love Robin and Strike, and while I'm still uncertain about the direction that their relationship is headed in, I am mostly happy with how everything has worked out so far. This case this novel focused on, in particular, was so much more personal and allowed for so much more to be revealed about Robin and Strike's characters and their backstories and it made me really happy (even though their backstories weren't all that happy at all). Overall, I adore this series and I can't wait for Rowling to write the next one (it had better be soon).
