Just reread Magicians of Caprona.
There are so many Diana Wynne Jones books that i simply adore, but my favourites are Magicians of Caprona, The Merlin Conspiracy and Hexwood. Of all the Chrestomanci books, this is my utter fave, i suppose it's partly because Tonino is one of my favourite characters. Because his magic is so different.
And i also find the setting and plot very original. Especially the duel scene, where the two families meet to fight it out which DWJ at one point compares to an opera, has so much theatrical value. If it was animated, the entire Chrestomanci series even, it would be way too cool.
Honestly, i want to move to Caprona where the two greatest spellmaking families live. So that i can buy a spell be it on a pink or green slip to chase away this restless kind of deepest blue that is ensconcing me.
Anything for a ticket out of here OR better still, one to the romantic state of Caprona.
