ok so first of all, do not expect it to be anything like the movie because it isnt, which isnt a bad thing!

the story was a bit hard to follow sometimes as well but that could be me spacing out a bit too much. however, i didnt personally like how howls family was included it just made things really complicated. im still not sure if that was time travel or if the world was more advanced than i thought ?? since the porthaven and kingsbury didnt have computers or modern day cars but wales did?

this part is also just me but howl and sophie didnt seem as romantic as i expected? the only romantic bit was on the last few pages which i dont mind but didnt expect per say.

but, in all, id say this was a pretty fun read!! definitely suggest it to anyone who plans to read it.
