taotrooper: It's a polar bear dancing the hula; your argument is invalid (Crossover / broom vs. honest wind)
Guess who read House of Many Ways! I really enjoyed it. I loved the references to Castle in the Air and the few cameos. I love how the characters from Howl's Moving Castle managed to be more epically involved in this one. I digged Charmain, perhaps because as a sheltered, rude, useless nerd I can identify with her. The plot wasn't that extraordinary or anything, and I would've liked more exploration of the title house and Peter and his mom and wizard Norland, but it was a nice read.

And jeez, LOLWHUT at Howl's disguise! Keep on trolling, stupid wizard! ♥ How can he manage to be more annoying and somehow sparklier in every book? In here the Pendragon family were pretty much transparent in contrast to the previous book, and seeing them around -although I'm a bit sadface at the lack of shippy scenes (at the end, I mean, otherwise it would've been eew)- pretty much sold the book for me.

Then again, I don't expect the books in the Howl series to be real sequels of HMC, so that might help a lot. This is why I take what I get and I'm not disappointed by new protagonists taking the spotlight of Sophie and Howl and Calcifer, plus those three are badass regardless.

I want my own Waif to adopt me. Socute.



Meanwhile, there are two novels I want to read but right now I shouldn't import anything. I've been trying to hunt for the illegal downloads to no avail. Does anyone know of a good place to get ebooks besides generic torrent sites?
