Writer's Block: Birthday Shout-out
Jul. 31st, 2009 12:05 pm[Error: unknown template qotd]The Prisoner of Azkaban.
The first three books were nicely done, and we could see her stretching out into her universe. Later, I think she had lots of ideas and couldn't express them fully because she wrongly constrained herself to only seven books right when she first started out.
The first three had good pacing and time for information processing. Latter books were sometimes stuck like three opposing gears, trying to tie up past history, continue existing stories, and move forward at the same time.
Prisoner of Azkaban is a good first look into the darkness and depth of the wizard universe. The first two books dealt more with Voldemort's history, but the third book examines the impacts and reprecussions in wizarding history and politics. I personally feel effects can be more interesting than the event that caused them. The ripples in the pond are more interesting than what is thrown in. Prisoner of Azkaban is our first glimpse of this.
