I love Diana Wynne Jones; We lost her far too soon. House of Many Ways, while not quite as good as Howl's Moving Castle, is nonetheless a worthy sequel. Its characters are interesting, the world-building is very good, and its plot is fun and fantastical. I would recommend this book both for fans of Howl's Moving Castle and Diana Wynne Jones's Chrestomanci books as well as young readers of fantasy.

2 estrellas.
Último libro de está trilogía; y no puedo decir más que un "meh".

Charmaine, el personaje principal, no me gustó nada de nada. Se hacía muy pesado leerla página tras página. Esto hizo que un libro de apenas 300 hojas de me hiciese cuesta a arriba.

La historia es bastante simple. Y a pesar de que todos los libros de está trilogía tienen una línea de narración similar, los otros se me habían más complejos.

Me gusta mucho cómo los personajes de libros anteriores aparecen, y estos siguen manteniendo esa esencia que los hacía únicos en sus libros.

En resumen: mi interés en estos libros fue decayendo según iba leyendo los libros. No puedo decir que este y el anterior sean malos; simple y llanamente a mí no me gustaron. Para mí el mejor fue "El Castillo Ambulante"

Come il precedente della saga, questo libro ha il difetto di avere un inizio incredibilmente lento per poi riprendersi a metà entrando nel vivo dell'azione.
Adoro il pattern che la WJ usa, cioè introduce cose apparentemente scollegate tra loro per poi riunirle e dare a tutto un senso logico. Nulla e nessuno è introdotto a caso.
Una lettura leggera molto carina, ma non il preferito dei tre.

I have a hard time to find anything I liked about this book. The main character were very unlikeable. Howl was arting like a child, where Sofie have to be his mother..
