Castle in the Air

by Diana Wynne Jones

Grade: Good

The soldier was cool. I liked him better old though, I think. The Princess Beatrice part is one of the reasons why I love Diana Wynne Jones. I also liked the part with Princess Valeria. And the part in the closet with Fower-in-the-Night and Abdullah. Reminded me of Pirates of Penzance.

"'I DIDN'T find you unattractive!' bawled Abdullah. Then he remembered the sixty-eight ears beyond the curtain..."

The only criticism would be the bit of all-over-the-place-ness (how would you say that? "Looseness"?) which is common in her books.
