This is a sequel to [b:Howl's Moving Castle|6294|Howl's Moving Castle|Diana Wynne Jones|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165560187s/6294.jpg|2001], and like it, it doesn't fail to deliver it's funny moments. The setting is slightly different, however, as it reminds you more of something just out of 1001 Nights. There's even appearances of characters from [b:Howl's Moving Castle|6294|Howl's Moving Castle|Diana Wynne Jones|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165560187s/6294.jpg|2001], including Howl and Sophie themselves, however there is no real need to have read that book in order to fully enjoy this one.

Much like the first, I can't put it down for too long that I will be re-reading it.
