I'm realizing that I've read a lot of really bad books.
I don't usually like to read a series out of sequence and while I have read Howl's Moving Castle many times (and nearly built a religion of rewatching the movie) I have not read #2. Yet here I am, reviewing #3. There are as many ways to enjoy a series as there are doorways revolving in a wizard's house. I'm familiar enough with Diana Wynne Jones work to know that you can pick up any of the books in any of her series and read from anywhere and be instantly (if not literally) enchanted. This was no exception. I adored the bookish main character Charming/Charmain and a world in which magic is common, though not quite respectable. So many complex ideas (folding time/space, willful magical objects, etc) are unpacked simply and greedily as a suitcase full of pastries. Bon appetit! I read it through in one sitting. It's that tasty.
