Book Rating
If ever there was an argument for Goodreads to expand beyond a 5-star rating system, this is it: better than some other books I've rated 1 star, but not as good as some others I've rated as 2 stars.

The first book in what has become known as The Saga of Recluce, I found this to be quite unusual in that (in this world world), it equates the White Wizards with evil (or chaos) and Black Wizards with good (or order). In many respects, this is also a coming-of-age tale, with the central protaganist maturing throughout the course of the story: a story that, I felt, could have been told in about 1/2 the number of pages if the author didn't insist on detailing each and every little iota of noise - who wants to read about (roughly, and all told) a page or two per chapter of <i>Wheee-urrrggg</i> (stomach noises) or <i>caw-caw</i> (bird noises) or <i>thrum-thrum-thrum</i> (hoof-beats)?!?

Wizard Olympics... and some folks die.
In the continuing story of Harry Potter, we get to follow our gang of wizards through a few seldom seen events: The Qudditch World Cup and the Tri-Wizard Tournament. We meet a few new characters and we get to dig even deeper into the storyline that continues through the whole series. Besides getting deeper into EVERYTHING in the Potter-Verse, we also get our first visit from a full grown and resurrected He Who Cannot Be Named.

Rowling does it best!
Ah... I do love the Harry Potter books! I read this one when I was a teen, then recently re-read it to my own children - and it was every bit as great to read it now (as a thirty-something year old adult) as it was originally. That in itself is testament to Rowling's ability to spin a compelling yarn, and her characterisation is wonderful. No wonder we all love it so much...
