Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is a fantasy novel written by British author J.K. Rowling and the sixth and penultimate novel in the Harry Potter series.

HP #6 is possibly my least fave of the series (so far), yet I can't tell you why. The plot is advanced quite a bit, it's full of action—there's just something that doesn't sit as well with me. In any event, I still have to give it 4 of 5 ⭐, because I couldn't put it down. [Only HP #3 gets 5 ⭐ from me (so far)].

I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book.

This is the second book in Holly Evans "Ink Born" series and picks up right where "Stolen Ink" left off, with Dacian and friends moving to a new city in hopes of staying ahead of those who'd like to use his special skills for their own ends.

Déja le sixième tome des aventures du jeune sorcier. Je ne vous ferais même pas l’affront de vous parler de l’histoire, parce qu’elle est somme toute assez habituelle : Voldemort s’attaque à Potter et poudlard, et se prend une rouste (vraiment ?). En fait, l’intérêt de ce tome n’est pas dans le récit principal, mais dans plusieurs des intrigues secondaires. D’abord, la vie de Voldemort, et la façon qu’il a eu d’évoluer, est un miracle de récit un peu effrayant. De ses débuts à la fin de ce qu’en sait Dumbledore, la progression est tout à fait fascinante. Ensuite, les petites histoires de coeur d’Harry et des autres, que je trouvais dans le précédent tome pénibles et inutiles, deviennent, privilège de l’âge oblige, un peu plus consistantes et intéressantes. Bien sûr, elles n’apportent encore rien au récit (soit dit en passant, je ne suis pas certain que ce soit encore …
