I don't like horror but wanted to read Stephen King. The writing, pacing, and character development was really good, he's definitely a good story teller. But I didn't feel captivated by the story until the last few chapter.

My only regret is not reading this book earlier. I enjoyed it way better than the movie
Great story, I enjoyed seeing the characters evolve and women outsmart their situations. Wanda was my favorite heroine. My biggest critique is while the women were single they were protrayed as intelligent and determined to survive, yet at the end Irina and Miryem stayed married with their captors. I know this is a fairy tale re-telling and the men changed for the better, but the romance felt so shallow.
I had a good time listening to the audio book, but it was challenging recognizing when POVs changed. The narrator sublty changes her voice between the female characters so it's really easy to miss if you aren't fully paying attention.
A classic whimsical fairy tale for adults. I really enjoyed the banter and dynamic between Tristran and Yvaine.
‘Love,' he explained. She looked at him with eyes the blue of the sky. ‘I hope you choke on it,' she said, flatly.
Exactly what I'd expect from Diana Wynn Jones. It's magical, whimsical, and light hearted. There's great descriptions of scenes and characters that really help set the mood for everything. Perfect middle school read!
I've read the Howl Series and would say this is my second favorite. To rank them book 1 is the best, book 2 you can skip, book 3 is fun read.
