K. Llewellin reviewed James Potter and the Curse of the Gatekeeper by G. Norman Lippert (James Potter, #2)
Review of 'James Potter and the Curse of the Gatekeeper' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Another enjoyable instalment from G. Norman Lippert. James Potter is in his 2nd year and is joined by his brother & cousin, whilst a new adventure waits for him.
The formatting problem that plagued the previous book (different peoples speech lumped together) only popped up once in this volume, making for a smoother read.
I had figured out the 'protagonist' about halfway through. Which meant I spent a lot of my reading time mentally screaming at James, "No! it's xxxxx!)
I did have one major question at the very end. What were the 3 words that James wrote down after his dream? They didn't seem to be mentioned when all the loose ends were being tied up, yet they seemed important enough to give Scorpious a sleepless night. Did I miss a clue, or are they revealed in the next book? An enquiring Ravenclaw mind wants to know.
Anyway, overall …

Anyway, overall G. Norman Lippert's second foray into the post-Harry world was engaging and a fun read from start to end. Personally, I think it was better than the first. A must for Potter fans.
