I love many aspects of this book; DWJ was certainly an awesome Fantasy author. Even the smallest details were magical. She had a big imagination. This book has plenty of fantasy, good characters, a little romance and it never gets dull.I loved...- the racing results as a way to predict the future (h...

DWJ Book Toast, #9Diana Wynne Jones is one of my favorite fantasy authors, growing up and now, and I was saddened by the news of her death.
