Book reviews. Thoughts on Cart and Cwidder, and The Name of the Wind:
I read Diana Wynne Jonesā book Cart and Cwidder, and while it was well written, I really prefer her other books. Cart and Cwidder was...difficult to get into. If you like it, then thatās okay! I love Diana Wynne Jonesā other books, but Iām not a fan of Cart and Cwidder.
I just found it hard to read, as the characters kept excusing their motherās controlling their lives. The characters were also rude to each other without apologising until page eighty. Page eighty is where the story becomes more exciting and the characters are more likeable.
Out of the books Iāve read about traveling musicians, Iād have to say I vastly prefer The Name of the Wind. Kvotheās fatherās troupe of performers is much nicer and theyāre a bunch of people Iād love to spend time with anytime. The troupe in Cart and Cwidder...well, I think Iād avoid them and their arguments as much as possible!
