After finishing Howl's Moving Castle I immediately ordered the remaining books in the series. While I was never under the impression that this book was about the original characters wholly, it seemed to really drag on before they were included. I had such difficulty getting into the story at some point I flipped through the pages until I saw their names and marked it. If I hadn't done this I don't think I ever whould have finished it. Casting aside the blatant fatphobia and xenophobia in the story, it was fine. Unfortunately or fortunately, I care far too much about the Howl's characters and will still be finishing the series.
