Castle in the Air by Diana Wynne Jones

The grammar of the writing is tough to get used to. It’s pretty much the story of Aladdin with a little more twists and strangeness. Unfortunately, The Wizard Howl, Sophie and Calcifer are an afterthought and really have no bearing in the story.

a menina q ele gosta literalmente apareceu no maximo 3 vezes, queria ter visto ela mais.

Ela odiaria o Abdullah se ela o conhecesse direito, pq ele é extremamente misógino. Na tentativa de parecer "fiel" tudo que ele faz é rebaixar outras mulheres. Odiei o livro pq os pensamentos do protagonista eram muito enfatizados, que por si só não são muito admiráveis.

A única coisa boa foi o mini plot twist no final.

I have been enjoying the Howl's Moving Castle series so far. This book had a little bit of a slow start but once the adventure began it was definitely lovely :)
