I really don't know what to say about this book other than the fact that it's one of, if not my favorite book now.
It's different from the movie but that's not a bad thing at all. It's charming and Sophie and Howl's interactions here are more entertaining than the movie version. It's also brilliantly crafted and there weren't any awkward parts in the story at all. This book is a perfect example of showing, not telling.

This was such a magical book and I feel like I have to reread it to grasp the entirety of it.
2022: I believe that what makes people love this book (the ones that do, that is) are these amazing characters that so very special and never really made similar before or after; their interactions and how in the end you knew they knew each other’s secrets but were scared of losing one another. Yes, the favorite trope: found family! Even though I already loved Sophie sisters as well

Wow...as much as I loved the movie, I just absolutely LOVED the book! It added so much more to Howl and Sophie's story. I cannot wait to read more!

ok so first of all, do not expect it to be anything like the movie because it isnt, which isnt a bad thing!
the story was a bit hard to follow sometimes as well but that could be me spacing out a bit too much. however, i didnt personally like how howls family was included it just made things really complicated. im still not sure if that was time travel or if the world was more advanced than i thought ?? since the porthaven and kingsbury didnt have computers or modern day cars but wales did?
this part is also just me but howl and sophie didnt seem as romantic as i expected? the only romantic bit was on the last few pages which i dont mind but didnt expect per say.
but, in all, id say this was a pretty fun read!! definitely suggest it to anyone who plans to read it.
