I just finished the book and I'm still trying to wrap my mind around it! There is just ... SO MUCH!
I think my reaction to the book is a blend of total squee (because there was SO MUCH AWESOME) and frustration because what I most wanted to see -- Harry's loved ones' reactions to him not being dead -- is exactly what we didn't get in this book, and now we're going to have to wait another year to see all of that! aaaaaaaugh! And almost no Thomas ... even though there was a very good plot reason for it! *flails* And yet, I loved everything that was in the book A LOT, especially all the character development that Molly got, and the semi-post-apocalyptic Chicago, and so many of the second-string characters getting to spend some time in the limelight. It was awesome, and yet I didn't get what I wanted most, and now I have another year of agonized waiting to look forward to. nnnnrgh!
