A review by rosekk
Castle in the Air by Diana Wynne Jones

5.0

Both the books in this series have proved to be brilliant kids books, in that I have enjoyed them even though my first reads have been in my twenties. I was already familiar with the story of Howl's Moving Castle (due to Studio Ghibli), but this one was unfamiliar to me and I still really loved it. The manner of Abdullah's politeness brought a peculiar joy to the book. The way it all related to the characters of Howl's Moving Castle was well done as well. I love that the books feature mysterious characters falling into play with no clear reason, but by the end it makes perfect sense.
