Howl's Moving Castle

Didn't expect it to be as dry as it was. It did offer more explanations than the movie did, and I would recommend reading the book first. However, though it was quite good in the fantastical bits and in the world-building I believe it lacked some in the dialogue and connection between characters. The developing relationships between the motley crew of characters really lacked in foundation, so much so that the ending felt a bit abrupt and rushed.
