I was devastated when I found out Diana Wynne Jones had died. I was confused at first about the "Completed By" thing but it was cool that her younger sister finished it. I've only read four of Jones' books, the three with Howl and A Tale of Time City, so it was interesting to enter the world of Chaldea. For the most part the book was fine. Some parts were slow like when they were walking over the plains of Bernica. I did feel that the ending was rushed and wasn't satisfied with it, it left an itch inside me that I can't quite explain. I'm not too entirely sure where Diana ended and Ursula began but as I got closer to the end I did feel a shift in the writing, which may add to that itch inside me that I mentioned the sentence before. But hey I was super glad that her final novel was finished and that everything was good in the end. It would be cool to see how Diana would have ended the book and see how close Ursula was!
