Cart and Cwidder by Diana Wynne Jones
4.0
I'm debating on whether this book should have a three or four star.
I'm struggling to describe how I felt about this book, mostly because it is different from Diana Wynne Jones' other books. Not necessarily in topic, this is a Jones kind of topic, but in tone and technique, it's a bit apart from her other works. I think it's more somber, quieter. Less jubilant. This isn't to say that the book isn't good, or that it wasn't enjoyable, but it ended on a sadder note than I've come to expect from Jones.
I'll be reading the Drowned Ammet soon, and from what I've gathered, it doesn't continue the story that the Cart and the Cwidder began, and that's a bit what it feels like. Like this should be the start of a story, and not an entire story in itself.
