![]() ![]() do appear (eventually), but this book is about Abdullah. Castle in the Air is quite a good story, and stands very well in its own. Which, as expected, takes some of the fun out of reading. ![]() Every new character that appeared had me thinking “Is this Howl in disguise?”, “Where's Sophie?” and so on. Soon all his daydreams start to come true.While reading this book, I spent most of the time trying to figure out how it related to Howl's Moving Castle. Everything is fine until a merchant sells him a magic carpet. A disappointment to his father, and with a prophecy made at his birth that he knows nothing about, Abdullah is quite happy living in his booth at the edge of the Bazaar and spending his days daydreaming (and occasionally selling carpets). And I really shouldn't have because this book is not about Howl, and he is not even important to the story.This book is about Abdullah, a carpet merchant on the distant land of Zanzib. I loved Howl's Moving Castle, so I really was expecting more of the same in this book. Castle in the Air is a sequel to companion to book set in the same world as book written by Diana Wynne Jones where Howl also appears. ![]()
