Can’t believe this story’s almost 12 years old.

It’s... for lack of a better word, it’s beautiful! Your writing style suits the movie perfectly and does it justice along with your characterisation and study of Howl!

I hope you’ll see this, even though there are a hundred other reviews on this just like this one!

This story made me stay up til half-past 12 in the morning, and I’m smiling thinking about the story as I write this!

Well done, mate! Kudos from ‘Straylia!

Thanks for writing this. It made my heart happy.

Years later I found myself obsessed with howls moving castle again and i came across your story and loved every single bit of it! Thank you for diving into the mind of howl, it was perfect!

This was so beautifully and insightfully written! It feels incredibly true to the film and it's just what I would have hoped a fic from Howl's POV to be. Thank you for your hard work on this!

This was wonderful. Thank you for writing this. I love it.

I've read this before and I love this first chapter. Cannot wait to read the rest, again.

Your* could not let that go.

I absolutely LOVED this piece. I really enjoy you’re writing.

Seeing as this was published over a decade ago I think this may go unanswered, but have you ever thought about writing from Turniphead/Prince Jason’s POV? :o I think you’d do an amazing job. And you’d have more creative freedom since anything could’ve happened from the time before he went missing to returning him :o

Simply beautiful! Thank you for sharing your wonderful writing with us.

THIS WAS SO GOOD, THANK YOU FOR WRITING THIS AUTHORRRR

I'M SO GLAD I FOUND THIS, THIS IS GOING TO BE AMAZING! I JUST REWATCHED THE MOVIE AND I WAS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING MORE, AND I FOUND IT! YAY

This was exactly what I needed. I had just recently rewatched the movie, and now that I’m older, I realize that there’s a lot that the movie didn’t explain. Knowing it was based off a book, I realize the movie seemed to include almost all the major plot and character developments and had a lot of details, but they didn’t really explain anything. The why’s and how’s were absent. I just finished a fic that takes place AFTER the movie that revealed some insight, but reading this, the movie so fresh in my mind and you going scene by scene was perfect. I finally understand why things happened the way they did, how they did it and why Ghibli presented everything the way they did. Every decision they made in direction and animation and scripts worked even more perfectly once you knew how the characters (specifically Howl) was feeling and the importance of every scene. It’s incredible looking back on it, how well they did without actually going into depth about anything, which is a problem, but makes me crave a version of the movie that better fleshed out EVERYTHING. That just would have been phenomenal.

Thank you so much for this story. It was everything I needed and more. It was so lovely to actually feel Howl fall for Sophie, since it was hard to know how he actually felt throughout until he told her.

I love you for this. Thank you.

This was simply amazing! I loved this story.
The characterisation was pretty good and I you convinced me the reasoning for all of his actions.
I know it's been a long while since you published this story but I had to review it!
It's just so damn good!

I so wish this story had continued...

I could easily picture this in my head, the voices the actions, it was awesome! I'm glad someone did this, it was beautifully written.
