Another fun universe expansion to the original Howl's Moving Castle book! This one had a lot more of Howl, Sophie, and Calcifer in it which I appreciated. I liked this one more than the 2nd book, but it was still just okay and I think that the only reason that the series is so popular is because of the movie for the 1st book.
