This one is greatly charming and a lot of fun! Like Sophie in Howl's moving castle, I love how strongwilled Charmain is without coming across as annoying. 

The story is a hoot and introduces a horde of interesting characters. It also reintroduces Sophie, Howl and their son Morgan. They were my least favourite part of the novel though. I don't think the story wraps up quite as neatly as Howl's moving castle does, but it still has a satisfying ending.
