Kiki's Delivery Service is a highly episodic book. The first couple chapters detail Kiki's home life and finding her place after moving to the city. After that, each chapter details a job or day in her first year. Those chapters are hit or miss.

I enjoyed examining the similarities and differences to the movie. What was kept, expanded, transformed, or dropped. This book is nice middle grade fantasy but also interesting for film analysis purposes.

A cute cozy book. Nothing particularly life changing about it. An easy read.

Such a fun and quick read! My first introduction to Kiki's Delivery Service was through Studio Ghibli, and even then, I have never watched the movie. I own the FairyLoot version of this, and decided to start it on a whim because why not. I finished in one sitting and thought it was so cute! Sometimes it's nice to read a fantasy book without major world building and a ton of lore. This was straight to the point, all while still having an understanding of the world and plot (as most middle-grade books tend to do).
