House of Many Ways by Diana Wynne Jones

Quite good! I really enjoyed Charmain and Peter and Waif and everyone else. I think I got into this a little easier than the second book. I was disappointed with the fact that from what I'd read this was to be a book with more Howl, Sophie, and Morgan and it was not. Still a super fun read and great story, I love the bits we do get and enjoy all the parts without :)

This was honestly whimsical and funny on level with Howl's Moving Castle, in my opinion. Which is high praise. I loved the story, the magic is hilariously chaotic as always, and Howl and Sophie's roles in this made it even better!

Então… eu achei meio chato, os fatos são muito corridos e muitos momentos me perguntei “o que está acontecendo aqui ?”.
Os personagens são bons, a protagonista não me desceu muito mas é suportável, o rei é maneiro, o holw e a Sophie sempre arrasando.
O livro é bom mas achei mediano perto dos outros
