A review by mybooksarenovel
Castle in the Air by Diana Wynne Jones
5.0
This is book 2 in the Howl's Moving Castle series.
It starts out with all new characters, and seemingly in a new land. Abdula is a young carpet salesman in the south, and one day he purchases a flying carpet. The first night he has the carpet it takes him to a castle garden where he meets the girl of his dreams. As Abdula and the girl plan to elope, she is kidnapped. Following the kidnapping ensues a mad cap comedy of errors adventure as Abdula attempts to rescue her.
As with Howl's Moving Castle, this a cosy little fantasy full of humor, and the most absurd characters including a jinni, angels, magic cats, and character cameos from the previous book.
I adored this book, and I will be rereading in the future.
