A review by dani_hart1864
House of Many Ways by Diana Wynne Jones
3.0
I appreciated the Howl and company cameo again and I'm glad this story had a different plot line than the last 2.
My reason for rating this the way I did is because the main character Charmain was so irritating to me. The ignorance and laziness was driving me crazy. Also the complete lack of a sense of urgency about anything was very frustrating. Like oh the house is a mess? I'll just lay down a read a book. Oh Calcifer might have blown himself up? I'll just try to sleep and read a book rather than going to check on him. Or Peter disappears and again she doesn't go to look for him?!?!
Also I get that the Lubbockin are evil and all that but dang that seemed like a pretty savage way to end them.
