I heartily recommend all Diana Wynne Jones. It’s fun, adventurous, twisty, and obviously magical. House of Many Ways is a sequel to Howl’s Moving Castle. But the story doesn’t revolve around Howl, Sophie, or Calcifer; although they do save the day in the end (kind of like Castle in the Air- an earlier sequel). Instead this story is about Charmain, often called Charming, which she isn’t. She’s got a temper. She’s critical. She’s impatient. She's matter of fact. She doesn’t know how to do anything for herself, and she isn’t bothered to learn either; so long as she’s got food and a book and no interruptions. Charmain is my kind of hero. Anyhow, read the book and learn how she helped save the kingdom from the Lubbock.I liked this book. I probably wont read it again.
