Castle in the Air by Diana Wynne Jones
4.0
adventurous hopeful medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

I struggled with this book to start with. It was slow, I wasn't sure about the characters. But as the story progressed, and the cast of characters grew, I found myself invested in the story. It feels separate from Howl's Moving Castle, which was good because I've had quite a break between the two books, but still links enough that I could enjoy the familiar storytelling.
