Quirky, infuriating, hilarious, and wonderful. This motley crew of characters are a glorious chaotic mess.

The various ways magic manifests in this world, and for each individual caster, is imaginative and charming.

I related to Sophie to an embarrassing degree. 😳

I wanted to throttle Howl more often than not, but I would still march through the Wastes to save him nonetheless.

Calcifer is the best of them all. Bless him.

Looking forward to their next adventures in Castle in the Air.
