It took me ages to finally get into this book, but once I did I ripped through it like I was wearing my own pair of Seven League Boots.
I love Sophie and Howl, I love how pathetic Howl is and I love that he’s just a slightly weird Welsh guy. I think that the plot was good, and I liked the amount of foreshadowing, it was very clever!!
In the end Howl’s romance with Sophie doesn’t come out of nowhere, actually the way he tried to work things out does make sense with his character, but I felt myself wanting more. Though I suppose that’s what the movie and fanfic is for.
I won’t read the others, probably, but this will remain a fond memory, and perhaps in future a reread.
