A review by helalost
Castle in the Air by Diana Wynne Jones

Did not finish book. Stopped at 18%.
Made it about as far as the descriptions of the fat nieces and how difficult it would be to get them onto a flying carpet because (and this had to pointed out again and again) they're very fat. And wobbly. The female romance interest however is very thin and beautiful. Also never giggles despite the irritating male protagonist only meeting her twice so far. The racial stereotypes were bad enough that the fatphobia pushed me over into not finishing the book despite having loved the previous book. Has not aged well I suppose.
