5.0

One of my all-time favorite fantasy reads. This time, I did it as a read aloud with my girlfriend and that definitely elevated the book even further. Howl and Sophie are iconic, adorable and hilarious and the message about defining yourself and believing in your own power resonated so much. A worthwhile reread that I'm glad to have revisited as an adult. Also Howl Pendragon is SUCH a gender.
