It was hardly more than an alley, really. They all watched with disbelief as the castle rose slightly into the air and glided toward the road that led southward. The first book, "Howl's Moving Castle", however, I am sure I will reread many many times. Diana Wynne Jones, quote from House of Many Ways By this time, half the people in High Norland were gathered in Royal Square to stare at the castle. This trilogy was worth reading because of the moments with Calcifer, Howl, Sophie and Morgan and I am sure I will reread those moments in the two last books again, but only those moments. That is my main complaint about these books. I wish they were the main characters in the entire trilogy. In this book Charmain mentions that no book ever taught her to do house chores so this one sure helps you with that because, among other things, it teaches kids that no one should ever mix red and white clothes! So, it had some boring moments.īesides Charmain, the other characters didn't seem as fleshed out as they were in the first book of the trilogy and Howl, Sophie and Calcifer always steal every scene they are in because they are so much more complex and interesting than all of the other ones. I liked the concept of the magical house and I could relate to the protagonist. Once again the best moments were when Howl and Sophie appeared, but I also liked the main character this time.
