Description As Books House of Many Ways (Howl's Moving Castle #3)

Charmain Baker is in over her head. Looking after Great-Uncle William's tiny cottage while he's ill should have been easy. But Great-Uncle William is better known as the Royal Wizard Norland, and his house bends space and time. Its single door leads to any number of places—the bedrooms, the kitchen, the caves under the mountains, the past, and the Royal Mansion, to name just a few.

By opening that door, Charmain has become responsible for not only the house, but for an extremely magical stray dog, a muddled young apprentice wizard, and a box of the king's most treasured documents. She has encountered a terrifying beast called a lubbock, irritated a clan of small blue creatures, and wound up smack in the middle of an urgent search. The king and his daughter are desperate to find the lost, fabled Elfgift—so desperate that they've even called in an intimidating sorceress named Sophie to help. And where Sophie is, can the Wizard Howl and fire demon Calcifer be far behind?

Of course, with that magical family involved, there's bound to be chaos—and unexpected revelations.

No one will be more surprised than Charmain by what Howl and Sophie discover.

Criticism Epithetical Books House of Many Ways (Howl's Moving Castle #3)

Once again, not really a sequel to me since Howl and Sophie are more of supporting characters rather than main characters. The magic in this book was a lot quirkier and lot more reminiscent of Howls Moving Castle, but its always the characters that get me. This book revolves around Charmain, a mostly ordinary girl who is sent to care for the home of her wizard relation. I could have gotten more on board with this book as it had more of Howl and Sophie than the previous book and more of the

I loved this series! The first one was so different from anything I had expected. I loved the characters: Sophie with her no-nonsense attitude to cleaning and motherly patience in putting together Howl's suit, Calcifer, Howl, the castle itself. Who can forget Sophie's enchanting hats and chasing a star for a spell. I loved the second book with its 1000 nights Arabian atmosphere. The third one had its own delights- aren't we all a bit like Charmain who NEEDS to read a book whenever she is happy

Im beginning to think Ive led a much too sheltered life. Charmain Baker wants nothing more than to read her books in peace. Peace, however, is soon gone when her aunt decides she should look after Great-Uncle Williams magical house. The wizard has fallen ill and Charmain finds herself alone in the house with a stray dog, a huge mess and no means to clean up with. Things only get worse when Peter, a supposed apprentice shows up. Inexperienced with magic, both seem to inflict more damage on the

actual rating: 3.5I liked this book more than Castle in the Air but still not as much as Howl's Moving Castle. I think that overall Wynne-Jones has interesting world building regarding magic, but that the plots are a bit simplistic for my tastes and I kind of hate how the last chapter of every book is just spent going 'and actually this person was this person the whole time! what a twist!'. There are still fun bits in here, but ultimately I don't think it's necessary to read on after the first

My least favorite of the Castle books, which still means that it's quite a good book. Sophie, Howl, and Calcifer are here, of course, and for much more of the book than they had been in Castle in the Air. They steal every scene they're in from Charmain, the newly introduced lead character.Charmain is almost the entire reason why I felt like House of Many Ways didn't live up to the other Castle books. As a protagonist, she's a hard sell. She's cross and somewhat lazy, to the point that it took me

I can't wear thethe! I want my thtwipey oneth! This series had its issues from the beginning, but I was intrigued enough by the second book (by far my favourite of the three) to try and read the third volume. It didn't work for me. In my opinion, these books, and especially this last one, have two major issues: a certain lack of cohesiveness in the plot and, mostly annoyingly, extremely unlikable characters.I remember even when I watched the anime Howl's moving castle that even though I am the

House of Many Ways (Howl's Moving Castle, #3), Diana Wynne JonesHouse of Many Ways is a young adult fantasy novel written by Diana Wynne Jones. The story is set in the same world as Howl's Moving Castle and Castle in the Air. Charmain Baker has led a respectable, and relaxing sheltered life.
