Welcome to Litsy!

Reading Ursula Jones‘ after-note saying how hard it was to see this story end abruptly when Diana got too sick to work on it, and then how she decided to finish it after a lot of thinking and work on it, was emotionally intense. The book itself was a good adventure tale with evil conspirers, of course, and a magical cat. The main character seemed to get older suddenly at the end, which ... well, I think that was Ursula. A good final book. 😭❤️

Trying to read at least five books from my huge, decade-long TBR pile during the month of April. However, this is the first one I‘m actually getting to! I better read fast. I loved Diana Wynne Jones, and I‘m excited to see how this one goes though of course one would rather have the author alive and writing many more books. #middlegrade #fantasy
