Castle in the Air
Description of book
A magical Arabian Nights tale from the captivating creator of fantasy, Diana Wynne Jones. The dazzling sequel to Howl’s Moving Castle.
Far to the south in the Land of Ingary, lives a young carpet merchant called Abdullah. In his dreams, he is the long-lost son of a great prince. This dream is a complete castle in the air… or is it?
Abdullah’s day-dreams suddenly start to come true when he meets the exquisite Flower-in-the-Night, daughter of the ferocious Sultan of Zanzib. Fate has destined them for each other, but a bad-tempered genie, a hideous djinn, and various villanous bandits have their own ideas. When Flower-in-the-Night is carried off, Abdullah is determined to rescue her – if he can find her.

- Fun magical adventure, I really enjoyed the story and seeing how the characters from Howl’s moving castle interacts with some of the new cast etc, I found that very interesting.
And the nieces taste in their “husband” made me chuckle.Book★5

- Historien var god nok, men den kunne ikke helt leve op til Jones’ “Howl’s Moving Castle”. Det var derimod en helt genial oplæsning. Den måde de forskellige stemmer blev lavet på var yderst imponerende.Book★

A bit racist and fat shaming
In general I love Diana Wynne Jones book's and Howl's moving castle in general, but it's just a bit too much racist stereotypes and other things I don't like.Book★3

- Not great. Nobody learned anything, and it has pretty much, nothing to do with Howl's moving castle.
