Crit Of Books Castle in the Air (Howl's Moving Castle #2)

I feel rather conned here. This story was not the experience I was expecting, especially when Howl's moving castle is one of my favourite stories. The only worthy part of this particular book, is the cover. It's attractive and inviting but the plot, not so much.I love Howl's moving castle, as it was beautiful, exciting, and the characters were different. In this installment, the main character was irritating as hell. He just wasn't likeable, and in my opinion, this was entirely due to the

Going back to reread one of favourite childhood authors has opened my eyes to some of the problematic aspects of Jones' writing. First of all, I tried to understand the story through Abdullah's narration. There is a possibility that he was not a reliable narrator, so Flower-in-the-Night's beauty could have been greatly exaggerated. Still, every chance he gets, he describes her astounding beauty--oh, and she's also clever to boot, so that's a bonus, but definitely not needed. It irritated me that

If you read and enjoyed Howl's Moving Castle and have yet to read this, what are you waiting for? Come on now, go read it. At once.I liked Castle in the Air better than its predecessor, surprisingly. There are several reasons for this:1. The plot makes more sense on a first read-- there's a clear mission from the get-go, and the reveals at the end aren't at all confusing.2. It's not exactly a retelling... but there are clear, surely intended parallels to the story of Aladdin. I really liked the

I still really like this series. This one was never made into a movie, but don't let that turn way. I love how Jones writes this world. I feel like this book was helping building the world of her series more while introducing newer characters. I actually like Abdullah's character. Not going to read the last book now, but curious how this ends.

Not as good as Howl's Moving Castle, but a very entertaining story.

Another very readable book from DWJ, and one I've just finished reading to my daughter, Celyn. Refreshingly independent princesses being semi-saved by our devoted hero, a carpet salesman from the desert city of Zanzib. He's not hero material, and never resorts to violence, but he's a good fellow and carries the story well.We get all the standard Aladdin-esque trappings, a magic carpet, a genie in a bottle, evil djinns, bandits, sultans, camels... and for a while you think you know roughly where
