I read a LOT of books, and a lot of fantasy, and this one endures as one of my favorites. The twists and turns are a delight, yet the writing is so clever that every little thing ties back together so, so cleverly in the end. The mastery over characterizations, worldbuilding, and hints reads like a amazing mystery. Even if you've seen Ghibli's movie, I say that you'll enjoy this ride!

The inspiration behind a largely successful Studio Ghibli anime film, Howl's moving CAstle tells the tale of a young hatter named Sophie, who is one day cursed by the Wicked Witch of the Waste to become an old lady nearly three times her actual age. She seeks refuge in the magical home of wizard Howl where she comes across several interesting charcaters like the vain but not-all-that-he-seems Howl, the fire demon Calcifer, the young apprentice Michael and many others. This tale is a simple read revealing many truths about human life while keeping the essential magic alive.
