Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones

5.0

I loved this book even if I love the Ghibli film more this still a very good book. I really loved the characters so very much especially Sophie and Howl I really liked how they interacted with each other Howl needed someone to tell him how they really think and Sophie was perfect for that with how outspoken she is. I also liked how some other characters like Sophie's sisters and others were fleshed out more in the book. I really liked the plot the reason why Sophie was cursed to be an old woman was better explained and the Witch of the Waste's motivations were better explained. The story was well told but I would of liked a better romance it was still great though they got distracted by each other at the end of the book. So overall I really liked this book I will most likely read more of the books in this series.

This was a good mystery not the best but still a very interesting and compelling mystery. I liked the characters especially Stevie she is interesting in that she loves true crime and is different from other people. The other characters are interesting the so called love interest is a bit of an douche and a bit mysterious at least until the end that is. I liked the plot standard murder mystery with a few extras with a cold case that makes things interesting. So overall this was a good book I may or may not read more of this series sometime soon.

This book was really good but since I spoiled the ending of the series I will consider this the only book in the series and not continue the series. I really liked the characters especially Bryn because for one she was trouble with a capital T and I really loved how resilient she is able to overcome so much. I also really liked the other characters as well they added so much to the story especially Chase since he is the one that really set off the plot. I really liked the plot of this book it started out with a girl raised by werewolves and became so much more by the end. So overall I really liked this book it was a really great read will not continue the series though.

I loved this book so much it was an amazingly well written Fantasy I liked every element of the story from the conflict to the slow burn romance. I loved all of the characters so much especially Ash and Madoc they were so different but them fit so well together I liked the fact the romance took until the end to really build very much it made it well worth the wait. I liked Ash for want to save the people she cares about and her drive to avenge her mother and I really loved how she came to care for Madoc. What I really loved about Madoc was his love for his family and his willingness to do anything to protect and save them I also loved how his relationship with Ash took off. I really loved the plot it started with Ash's mother's death moved to Ash wanting revenge and went to Madoc and his want to save his family and it went to so much more I really loved this book.

I really liked the characters especially Alice and Cole their romance was so well written I liked that Alice was the I do what I like and you can't stop me type it made for a great dynamic. What I really liked about Alice even through all the pain she has suffered she is strong and does not let anything keep her down. I also really liked many of the other characters like Kat she makes for an amazing best friend always is on Alice's side no matter what. I really liked the plot it started out with a tragedy moves on to a great romance and a really action packed story that I really loved.

This was a good book had just the right atmosphere and the plot and characters were interesting to read about. I liked the characters they were interesting especially Callie and Benny she was interesting read about willing to do whatever to escape the island I really liked her attitude as well. As for Benny he is intriguing and mysterious for the most part I really did like him even with the whole trying to kill Callie thing. I enjoyed the plot it started out with Callie being sent there to help her uncle it is obvious from the outset that she was lured there for some reason I am looking forward to finding out more when I continue the series.

I really loved this book its a really great example of the start on a enemy to lovers story I am looking forward where it goes from here. I really liked the characters especially Ember and Garret they were so great together I am looking forward to where their relationship goes from here. What I really liked about Ember was her want to have freedom and how she starting doubting Talon I liked her start of a relationship with Garret they do fit together well. I really liked the plot it had a great enemies to lovers story where neither of them knew they were enemies for most of the story I really liked how that developed I liked everything else about the plot as well. So overall I loved this book and will be continuing the series sometime soon.
