    Santa Olivia by Jacqueline Carey (whitewavedarling)
    whitewavedarling: Santa Olivia is admittedly built for a more mature audience, but the themes, character types, and situations in the Harry Potter series and in Carey's work make me believe a reader who enjoys one will likely enjoy the other. Santa Olivia, though, is not a traditional fantasy, but more in the lines of speculative fiction, so that fantasy-only readers who enjoy Harry Potter for primarily the inclusion of magic may not enjoy Carey's work. I'm recommending it with this Harry Potter book in particular since, for me, this was the book when the series took a leap toward becoming more adult. Santa Olivia is also probably the beginning of a forthcoming series.… (more)

Reread 2023: That ending gets me every time. Such a turning point in the series! The aftermath of Cedric's death hit me right in the feels. I enjoyed meeting wizards from other countries, loved the Tournament in general and now that element of horror has been added, setting up the rest of the books to come. Good thing Harry has Ron and Hermione as friends. He's going to need friends badly. The movie really did not do this book justice at all. ( )

Ame cada momento de la historia. Excelente libro, si el prisionero de Azkaban estuvo oscuro, este lo estuvo mucho mas sobre todo porque acá cambia por completo el balance con el que venían los otros tres libros, un antes y un después, me encanto! ( )

There's not much I can add to a discussion of this book other than my own reaction. I enjoyed it. The storytelling and world-building is still very strong. The characters and their adventures are still engaging. If the book was 20%-25% shorter, it might get 5 stars. But I have to knock off a star for just plain being too long--twice as long as the first book in the series.

I'm also taking off another star for the writing. It's not bad. It's just indefinably and adverbially not up to the quality I was expecting. But onward to books 5 to 7. ( )

The fourth book in an amazing series that I still cannot put down! While I was warned against reading this book, I read it anyways!

Hard core Harry Potter fan friends of mine told me after the third book the novels went downhill, and I don't know whether to believe them or not.

I found this book leaving me with a sense of "Don't put this book down or else" like I got from the first three Harry Potter books. Yes, I found the first chapter to be not the best way to start the fourth book, but other than that this book was flawless!

I am prepared to read the fifth book and not want to put it down either! This novel leaves you with high expectations for more action, adventures and chaos for Harry, Ron and Hermione in the fifth book!

Hopefully this series will be continued in some form in the near future, but we can only hope! ( )

Tras otro abominable verano con los Dursley, Harry se dispone a iniciar el cuarto curso en Hogwarts, la famosa escuela de magia y hechicería. A sus catorce años, a Harry le gustaría ser un joven mago como los demás y dedicarse a aprender nuevos sortilegios, encontrarse con sus amigos Ron y Hermione y asistir con ellos a los Mundiales de quidditch. Sin embargo, al llegar al colegio le espera una gran sorpresa que lo obligará a enfrentarse a los desafíos más temibles de toda su vida. Si logra superarlos, habrá demostrado que ya no es un niño y que está preparado para vivir las nuevas y emocionantes experiencias que el futuro le depara.

Book description
Harry Potter is midway through his training as a wizard and his coming of age. Harry wants to get away from the pernicious Dursleys and go to the International Quidditch Cup with Hermione, Ron, and the Weasleys. He wants to dream about Cho Chang, his crush (and maybe do more than dream). He wants to find out about the mysterious event that's supposed to take place at Hogwarts this year, an event involving two other rival schools of magic, and a competition that hasn't happened for hundreds of years. He wants to be a normal, fourteen-year-old wizard. But unfortunately for Harry Potter, he's not normal - even by wizarding standards.

And in his case, different can be deadly.
