I didn’t know it would link to the first book!

A sweet book, I didn’t know that howl and Sophie and co make it into the story! I loved that! Would have liked more of them in it though… will go to book three soon.

Totally loved the narrator. She has an amazing voice!

Heartwarming

Spoilers (maybe) A lovely sequel to Howl's Moving Castle. I was unsure of how this started whether it would tie in with the first book, but rest assured it really does, and in a way I found surprising and heartwarming to listen to.

I really enjoyed this book!😄

It was really good but since Howl and Sophie only came in at the end, I didn't enjoy the start as much. But overall it was a good book!😊

Wonderful story, enjoyed it very much.

Loved it, intricate and unusual story, like a Persian carpet worked into a western fairytale. if only all locked up princess could have a magic carpet, and a ginnie wouldn't do any harm too.

4.5/5

A whimsical and magical tale set in the Howl's Moving Castle universe. Abdullah has spent most of his life in a day dream. One day, a mysterious individual sells him a magic carpet which transports him to a beautiful princess. Then hi princess is kidnapped by a djinn and Abdullah has to travel far and brave many dangers to try and get her back.

- The whimsy and wandering nature of Howl's Moving Castle carries on in this book. I love the fairy tale and Arabian Nights vibes and how the book felt like a bedtime story.

- Abdullah is the type of protagonist who finds himself as the story progresses. He starts off meek, beaten down and bored with life. His adventure is the making of him and his journey was as much one of self discovery as it was a quest to find his princess.

- I really loved the cameos within the story. Yes, Howl, Sophie and Calcifer are there, and no you won't guess who they are before time.

A truly enjoyable and magical story. Perfect for a cosy, lighter fantasy read or for sharing with children at bedtime.

Perfect bedtime story for children and adult

A wonderful story, which I loved reading as a book when I was younger. It has been completely brought to life by Christine Atherton is wonderful narration.

A badly written Aladdin

This is such a thin and shallow story! The main male character is so annoying. he uses inauthentic overly flowery flaterry when he talks. The story is so boring I felt as though I was trudging through mud. It slightly picks up when Sophie and the original characters come in at the end but it's definitely not enough to save the book. I didn't notice derogatory language towards weighty/fat people that some reviewers talked about , although I'm slim so maybe wouldn't as it's not a triggering area for me. I have an hour left to listen to and not sure I can be bothered. I loved Howls moving castle and very disappointed in this "sequel" (it's not really a sequel at all). The narrator is good at least.
