5 stars

I absolutely loved this book. I was hooked from the first page and with every paragraph it just got better and better.Going into it, I didn’t really know what to expect, but I am so glad I finally read this. It is a wonderful, spell-binding story filled with twists and turns. The characters are so unconventional and amazing. You can’t help but loving them and all of their flaws (although, I wanted to strangle Howl at times- the mess, always the mess). This is one of those books that, once you get into it, you don’t even care what happens at the end; you are just happy to be along for the ride. Such a great adventure. The ending, while I wouldn’t say it was predictable, is written in a way where you kind of know where it is heading with all of those loose ends that need tying up.It is similar to Harry Potter in that there are multiple stories that all weave together as the book goes on. Amazing. I love this book. I was so glad to find out that there are two more books in the series. I cannot wait to read them. Fantastic book!
