Charmed Life by Diana Wynne Jones

5.0

Ughhh Diana Wynne Jones is a legend. It’s been a long time since I enjoyed a fantasy novel this much. Nowadays it’s hard for me to truly feel immersed while reading but this one did it for me. It was just really fun and imaginative and I didn’t expect the ending but I loved how all the pieces fell together. It also really made me want to re-read Howl’s Moving Castle because I got the vibe that they are supposed to take place in the same magical universe.
Crossing my fingers that the rest of the series is good because I’ve been burned before by classic middle grade fantasy series that had a strong start and then got really bad really fast (I’m looking at you, The Dark Is Rising…) but I think I can trust my GOAT Diana.
