This was a delightful read. I loved Calcifer a ton, but Sophie, Michael, and Howl were also fantastic. I found the humor to be hilarious and entertaining even though I wasn't the target audience's age. It was an incredibly creative story that had strong imagery. The audiobook production was fantastic and I enjoyed the narrator immensely. I'm not sure if I'm invested enough to keep reading the series myself, but this is a middle-grade book/series I'll be recommending!

This is an action packed story! There is not one single dull moment. So much so, that it could be a little hard to follow at times. :P
