Piece Regarding Books Castle in the Air (Howl's Moving Castle #2)

One of the marks of my favorite authors is their ability to keep me guessingthe knowledge that when I crack open one of their books, I should expect the unexpected. This is only my second Diana Wynne Jones read, but I can already see her name rising in the ranks of the authors who do just that. Like Howls Moving Castle, Castle in the Air is an incredibly smart, adventurous, twisting read that is a credit to readers of all ages. At no point did I know where the story was going, and in the end I

This is one of DWJ's more problematic stories. Although very readable and amusing, it dips into uncomfortable territory with its portrayal of a middle east culture, and there are multiple instances of using fat as a characterisation of bad, lazy or shallow.I think most problematic for me, however, is the plain princess who is so complimented to be chosen over more beautiful princesses that she's _grateful_ to be blackmailed into marriage.

In this sequel to Howl's Moving Castle, the wizard Howl gets mixed up with djinni, genies (in this story they're two different species) and some Arabian Nights-type characters (from the sanitized version I read as a child). Abdullah, a humble young carpet merchant with big (day)dreams, is sold a magic carpet by a suspicious-looking stranger, which leads him to a beautiful princess named Flower-in-the-Night, a genie in a bottle, and other adventures. Abdullah is forced to leave behind his

Loved it. Even better than the preceding volume (which I did enjoy), because everything I disliked about Howl's Moving Castle was fixed herein.

This as a great spin off to Howl's Moving Castle. While Howl and Sophie aren't main characters you will see them at small points throughout the story. This story felt like a fun retelling of Arabian Nights/Aladdin. I connected with Abdullah quickly and loved how much of his life we learn about before he meets the princess. The way he finds the flying carpet is so well written and the story is just a fun read.

3.5 Stars Another fun adventure from the same enchanting world of Ingrid .. This time we move a bit south to the land of Zanzib where we meet our hero Abdulla who is a carpet merchant with a silky smooth way of talking, he falls in love with princess Flowerin-the-night and intends to marry her, but she gets kidnapped and it's up to Abdulla to rescue her from her fate I loved how vast is this world and Abdulla is an adorable character to follow specially the way he talks!, my main issue with the

(3.5 stars) Not as good as Howls Moving Castle, but enjoyable. I don't know what else to say about it, possibly because listening to it on audiobook means I started it so long ago. I missed Howl and Sophie and Calcifer, and felt that this book had a little less of the inherent charm Moving Castle had, though it has its own humor (especially the genie).
