Since this is the sequel to Howl’s Moving Castle, I really wanted to like this book. But I just couldn’t get into it. So the plot goes as follows: a young guy named Abdullah lives in the Sultanates of Rashpuht and sells carpets for living, but dreams of being a prince. By an odd chance, he comes int...

Howl's Moving Castle - now Aladdin flavored, with 40% more human transformations!I was having a lot of fun reading Castle in the Air. Abdullah was such an unlikely hero, and his attempts to speed his quest up by challenging Fate to get his love, Flower-in-the-Night back often ended in hilarity.The e...

Sometimes it's hard to pick the next book I want to read (new stuff usually beats out old stuff, and the new stuff I have is numerous enough to make it difficult to select what I really really want to read next), so it's good to implement a system to help me pick the next one. This time, I decided ...

Fantastyczna podróż na latającym dywanie, pełna magii, miłości i przygód nie z tego świata. Powieść niedoceniona. Brakuje mi jej w polskiej świadomości czytelniczej, pomimo że została wydana w 2006 roku przez Amber (w bardzo okropnej okładce...). Kolejny z moich kroków oswajania się z literackim a...

I have to say I've been in love with Howl's moving castle since I was about 11 and picked it up at the local library. It's on my one a year reread list just like Harry Potter. So I was slightly nervous picking up this so called sequel. So much could go wrong. Castle in the air starts off a bit slow ...

This is a sequel to Howls Moving Castle but is pretty much standalone (there are bits near the end that make more sense if you've read the previous story but a lot of it's inferred. Abdullah is a carpet merchant and dreamer and one day a carpet allows him to visit the princess Flower-in-the-Night a...

This is a sequel to Howl's Moving Castle, and like it, it doesn't fail to deliver it's funny moments. The setting is slightly different, however, as it reminds you more of something just out of 1001 Nights. There's even appearances of characters from Howl's Moving Castle, including Howl and Sophie t...

Pretty good. I wouldn't peg this as a sequel though, more like a companion book.So I'm reading and it's not bad, right? Abdullah's good but nothing great. Flower-in-the-Night about the same but less. Instalove. (Again?) Quest. The regular. ThenMe: SOFIE!!! YAY! Oh....BABY HOWL!!! AAAAAAH. Baby, bab...

I love these books, and after reading Howl's Moving Castle I often quite happily scold myself for not reading them sooner. I can reread them until kingdom come and not get bored of them.Here there be spoilers and such ~I won't lie, I was a little hesitant to get into this book. The setting seemed so...
