I read this at lightning speed after I bought it, and I did enjoy it immensely--but even though it's touted as a direct sequel to Howl's Moving Castle, Howl & Sophie figure in about as prominently as they did in the other sort-of-sequel, Castle in the Air. I still liked this book better because of my appreciation for the actual protagonist, who was yet another example of Wynne-Jones's ability to create imperfect characters who are nonetheless eminently likable and relatable.
