I’ll say I was a bit disappointed by the ending;
I was paying very close attention to how Sophie felt about Howl for the whole book because I thought it would end this way, and I didn’t really see any strong romantic feelings.
But I guess the characters do as they like.
Overall, it was a cozy and very comforting listen, and definitely a modern classic. I’m a little sad that it’s over, but all good things must end!
The audiobook I used was from the Jaded YA Reads Spotify Podcast (https://spotify.link/IyNovWDC9Bb), and I must say that her voices were very fun and evocative of the characters :) I had a good time listening to it.
